Cut A Silhouette by Sparta
With ‘Cut A Silhouette‘, the legendary post-hardcore outfit Sparta has returned, proving that some things truly do get bigger and better with age. Speaking of things getting bigger, this album dropped right around the same time I looked into my closet and realized a harsh, fabric-stretching truth: none of my shorts fit me anymore. In […]
Roses by Widowspeak
‘Roses’ by Widowspeak is the band’s seventh studio album and manages to pull off a spectacular magic trick: it is deeply romantic and saturated with dream-pop nostalgia, yet it never takes itself so seriously that you feel like you’re trapped in some corny ass rom-com from the 80’s. Instead, it feels like sitting in a […]
A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon by Apostle
Apostle’s A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon is a sonic rollercoaster that somehow manages to combine the existential dread of realizing we are all just meat on a rock with the absolute urge to run through a brick wall. Released via Terminus Hate City, this Atlanta power trio has delivered an album that sounds less […]
Carousel by villagerrr
With his fifth full-length album, Carousel, Ohio’s premier purveyor of indie twang, Mark Scott (aka villagerrr), has delivered a gorgeous collection of Midwestern slowcore that is cozy enough to soothe even the most extreme cases of avian-induced rage. I spent my first listen deeply entrenched in my garden, desperately trying to repair the wreckage left […]
For Love of Grace and The Hereafter by Iceage
Danish post-punk quintet Iceage has traded their usual soot-stained, switchblade-wielding aesthetic for something shockingly close to a grand romantic gesture on ‘For Love of Grace & the Hereafter‘. Elias Rønnenfelt still sings like a man trying to read his poetry while caught in a literal tumble dryer, but the band’s sixth studio album wraps that […]
Spiritual Hangover by Mrs. Magician
I stumbled upon San Diego’s Mrs. Magician completely by accident, and hot damn… this album rules. Their album ‘Spiritual Hangover‘ hits like a shot of cheap tequila chased with a sugary pop-rock mixer… burning at first, but leaving you desperately craving another round. As a newcomer to their sound, I expected the heavy, moody kinda […]
Lovebirds by Birds Flying Backwards
‘Lovebirds’ by Birds Flying Backwards is a welcoming surprise to my ears this week, from start to finish. This six-piece London-based alt-country ensemble has managed to craft a delightfully sunny, 70s-style, indie-folk rockin’ with some slightly jammy kinda stuff that makes for a groovy record that feels completely lighthearted and endlessly joyful. The vocals blend […]
This Is Only A Drill by The Killigans
If your ears have been feeling dangerously sober lately, fear not, because Nebraska’s finest folk-punk veterans are back to kick down your door and pour some great tunes into your head. The Killigans have officially released one hell of a folk-punk revival release with This Is Only A Drill, an album that boasts so much […]
