Indie Rock Wye Oak

We think that music thrives from solo projects, and when bands take new turns away from their fous, it can create magic. Wye Oak has always been a band that we find endearing in how they not only compose music, but how they operate as well. After time away from the group with Andy Stack’s...More Please

New Album From Psychic Lemon is Psych Defined

We think there’s a good chance that you’ve never heard the insanely diverse sounds of the band Psychic Lemon. In fact, we wouldn’t be shocked if you’d actually never heard the band before now. However, the London based band has been around a good while now and they make some of the best psych rock...More Please

How Did I Miss The Killer New Album by The Hold Steady?

It’s hard to believe that The Hold Steady have been around right at twenty years. Never really the hipsters of the Brooklyn music world that came about in the early 200’s, their sound has always fallen somewhere between Elvis Costello and Paul Westerberg. Something about the relocation from the Midwest to New York emboldens the...More Please

Lucy Dacus Delivers on 2019

Last year no one protested when we named Historian by Lucy Dacus our album of the year. The full length was the only album in 2018 that we played for others that had them asked who it was and where they could get a copy for themselves. So with that in mind, it shouldn’t be...More Please

FKA twigs is Breathtaking on MAGDALENE

There are few times when you hear an album that you would describe as breathtaking. That the music feels so delicately and specifically chosen for one brief moment, that it comes off as an expressionist painting. It’s rare for most artists to release an album with the depth and weight of MAGDELINE, yet FKA twigs...More Please

OMNI Cleans Up Nicely on Networker

Atlanta trio Omni have always made the kind of post punk that bands like Wire and PIL would admire. Full of jangled notes and dark tons, they’ve never really steered too far from those sounds. However on their new album Networker they open the doors a bit on their sound and the result is magnetic...More Please

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Don’t Disappoint on Colorado

In some ways it’s hard to believe that Neil Young is over seventy years old. In other ways, it’s obvious but not through his music. The old man yelling at the sky phase hasn’t come into his music, though Young isn’t a Spring Chicken either. At seventy three, you shouldn’t expect a rock album from...More Please

Monster Anniversary Edition Proves R.E.M. Was Ahead of the Times Twenty Five Years Ago

Reviews

Alternative R.E.M.

A lot can happen when a band trades a mandolin for a Les Paul. Ticking up the volumes, trading gloomy acoustic notations for rock structures and a band dealing with fame is all what 1994’s Monster by R.E.M. was. There’s a lot to unpack with this album, now reissued and remaster for a 25th Anniversary...More Please

While there have always been indie albums drop in the final quarter, it’s not the death nail it once was. One of the albums we’ve looked forward to is Do No Harm from Austin’s...More Please

It happens maybe once or twice a year when you write about music, an artist who transcends whatever you read in their bio. Michael Kiwanuka has been blowing up in Europe for a minute now. With collaborations with...More Please
