Anniversary by Sinister Luck Ensemble (Review)
When taken as a whole, Anniversarybecomes a pretty staggering experience.Children of Nature by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson (Review)
Not to sound overly melodramatic, but this music is what I picture souls entering heaven hear.9 by Elaine Lachica (Review)
The heart and soul of Lachica’s music draws from 4AD’s glory days.X Would Rather Listen to Y Than Suffer Through a Whole C of Z’s by The Czars (Review)
As with all Czars releases, the centerpiece throughout is the sublime voice of John Grant.We Haven’t Just Been Told, We Have Been Loved by Half-Handed Cloud (Review)
These songs are immediately compelling, perfectly rounded out, and though always brief, never feel truncated or half-done.Settle Down by Flora Reed (Review)
Reed is a romantic worth listening to, and the kind of person we would all like to know.He Was a Woman by David Hurn (Review)
The lowest common denominator of the album is a sterile brand of pastoral country folk that weaves through every song at some point.Six Songs EP by Ghoti Hook (Review)
Shows off the sense of what makes a good pop song without losing the rock.Divine Operating System by Supreme Beings Of Leisure (Review)
Like James Bond films, the Supreme duo’s sound is slick, and by “slick” I mean Swiss clockworks and fine German engineering.Lost Songs by The Appleseed Cast (Review)
Lost Songs gives fans a chance to hear the band in transition while also giving completists access to some solid recordings.Over Emotion (DJ Spoiled Remix) by Lyric & Natali (Review)
The main riff sounds a bit to familiar to me, but it’s pleasing to the ear and has a nice trancy melody about it.Rockin’ at the Church?
It seems that worship is watered down concert experiences that feel neither artistically nor emotionally stimulating.
