These remnants from the upcoming Luxury album are subdued, synth-heavy compositions exploring spiritual matters.

After three decades, the long-lost album from Ronnie and Jason Martin’s (Joy Electric, Starflyer 59) first band has finally been released.

In a more perfect and just world, hushed and heartfelt folk-rock like this would earn all the likes and favorites.

Starflyer 59 returns with another solid collection of songs.

Produced by Fine China’s Rob Withem, this 5-song EP is an excellent introduction to Josh Dooley’s dreamy indie-pop.

That Star Wars-themed Chrindie funk band that you’d always heard about gets reissued.

For fans of thoughtful, atmospheric indie-rock, Starsabout’s debut full-length is the real deal.

The simple fact is that any new music from Lee Bozeman is a gift.

Kiriyama Family’s soulful pop definitely has a retro sense about it, but it’s far more than just a nostalgic retread.

Timber Timbre’s music is dark and disquieting, and intoxicating precisely because of that.

For over two decades, Jason Martin’s “blue collar” approach to music has resulted in an impressively reliable discography.

An interesting glimpse of the earlier days of a band currently enjoying a renaissance.

Regardless of why Luxury released a new album after a decade, I’m glad they did; simply put, Trophies contains the best music I’ve ever heard from them.

The trio perform “instrumental rock” in the truest sense of the word: without vocals and fully intent on melting your face.

Kissing Cousins’ music contains just the right amounts of coyness, sensuality, innocence, and bad-ass swagger.

Dial M is yet another fine offering from one of the most reliable and dependable names in music today.

Replete with Christian imagery as far removed from traditional praise and worship music as can be.

A batch of homespun, country-inflected ballads that straddle the line between folk and rock musically.

Though less bombastic and fiery than Funeral, Arcade Fire’s sophomore album is no less powerful.

The Brothers Martin is equal parts Starflyer 59 and equal parts Joy Electric, not just a trip down nostalgia lane.
