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.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.Six Songs EP by Ghoti Hook (Review)
Shows off the sense of what makes a good pop song without losing the rock.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.Settle Down by Flora Reed (Review)
Reed is a romantic worth listening to, and the kind of person we would all like to know.Anniversary by Sinister Luck Ensemble (Review)
When taken as a whole, Anniversarybecomes a pretty staggering experience.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.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.9 by Elaine Lachica (Review)
The heart and soul of Lachica’s music draws from 4AD’s glory days.Children of Nature by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson (Review)
Not to sound overly melodramatic, but this music is what I picture souls entering heaven hear.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.
