Serotonin by Mystery Jets
Released by Rough Trade Records
Normally when I review an album of a band I’m not familiar I don’t research the band or what other people have to say. I try to keep all bad and good influences out and just base my opinion on what I hear.
And the first impulse was that [...]
Avi Buffalo self-titled
Released from Subpop Records 4/27/2010
You’ll hear a lot about Avi Buffalo and it seems that a lot of reviews mention their ages – fuck their ages. The quality of Avi Buffalo’s self-titled album has nothing to do with how old or young they are. It’s simply a great album.

I just love the wonderful people whom have been hyping this album up since Arcade Fire’s last release Neon Bible [2007].

Say Us by Zeus
Released by Arts & Crafts
On Zeus’ debut album, Say Us, you’ll hear a lot of the familiar: The Band, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, the Eagles and any type of 1970s rock. Perhaps it’s the piano-driven songs or the tight harmonies, but the album as a whole sounds like a [...]
