Honest Work by Odd Beholder
Honest Work by Odd Beholder floats in on shimmering synths, crisp beats, and vocals so cool and controlled they could probably calm down a localized robot uprising or at least convince a smart fridge to stop judging your midnight snack choices. Every track feels polished without becoming sterile, like someone meticulously ironed a disco ball […]
Keep It To Yourself by Ear Ringers
The wait is finally over… East L.A. indie-rock badasses Ear Ringers have dropped their highly anticipated album, ‘Keep It To Yourself‘, straight into our ears. For a record titled after a request for absolute secrecy, these tracks demand to be played at a volume that will thoroughly annoy your neighbors. The band has expertly leveled […]
Mercurial Silence by David Eugene Edwards
‘Mercurial Silence‘ by David Eugene Edwards plunges the listener headfirst into a beautifully grim, obsidian-tinted landscape of pure Gothic mastery. Edwards, the legendary mastermind behind the haunting alt-country scriptures of 16 Horsepower and the apocalyptic folk-rock thunder of Wovenhand, shifts his dark gaze here into uncharted territories of shadow. It is a delightfully wicked evolution, […]
Don’t Let It Die: Vol. 1 by The Deslondes
The magic of this record lies in how the band passes the microphone around like a flask of good bourbon, giving every track its own distinct flavor. “The World Beyond” hits you right in the nostalgic feels with a groove so smooth it could convince a cat to take a bath, perfectly capturing that universal […]
Greetings From Hell by Crocodiles
The indie rock veterans Crocodiles are back with their ninth studio album, ‘Greetings from Hell’, and it turns out that hell is actually a fantastic, upbeat garage-pop party. Released via Wild Honey Records, this 10-track, 32-minute collection trades away their old gritty noise-rock distortions for crisp, massive hooks and pure power-pop energy. Core members Brandon […]
Sweet Gravity EP by Snowcuffs
The new EP ‘Sweet Gravity‘ by Chicago’s Snowcuffs is one of the best EPs I’ve heard in a while in dream pop/ shoegaze, as it perfectly captures a lush, layered wall of sound that feels both nostalgic and thrillingly alive. Having just caught most of their kick ass set live last Friday, May 15th, at […]
Preservers of The Pearl by Daniel Romano’s Outfit
OK, so for some reason I have spoken with about 20 of you here in Milwaukee at bars and at shows over the past couple months who said that you had never heard of this album, and I told you I would now have to give it a review on OKR… so here ya go!! […]
Green World Image by Telehealth
‘Green World Image‘ by Telehealth is your musical remedy if you’ve been doom-scrolling through social media, wishing your daily dose of “end of the world” was more danceable. Telehealth caught me off-guard and smacked me in the face with this exciting new take on the sterile corporate jargon of our modern, hyper-capitalist world, and they […]
Johnny Dynamite by Johnny Dynamite
Johnny Dynamite by Johnny Dynamite (aka John Morisi) is a brilliant post-punk and synth-pop record released through Born Losers Records. This self-titled album successfully fuses the moody, atmospheric guitar textures of early alternative music with the unapologetic, stadium-sized electronic production of modern indie pop. Across the entire tracklist, the production delivers a consistent balance of […]
Arizona by Trimmo
Trimmo, a brilliant indie outfit out of San Francisco, recently dropped a 16-track behemoth titled ‘Arizona’ that proves you do not actually need to visit the desert to make an album named after it. Released on April 17, 2026, the record is a wonderfully weird cocktail of experimental pop and indie sensibilities that manages to […]
