This is a solid release from Prong – the opening track “Ultimate Authority” gets things going with that raw crunching guitar sound that we metalheads love and gets your head banging from the start. Every song on here will have your head nodding at some point. There is a change of musical pace from their traditional sound with “Do Nothing”, sort of ballad like, but does pick up as it…
On March 18th, former Smith Western frontman Cullen Omori will release his debut long-player, New Misery, worldwide on CD / LP / DL through Sub Pop Records. The album, which features the highlights “Cinnamon” and “Sour Silk” was recorded by Shane Stoneback (Sleigh Bells, Fucked Up, and Vampire Weekend) at the now defunct Treefort Studios, and was mastered by Emily Lazar (Sia, HAIM, Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, and Bjork) at…
The Moonies Anthem begins Moonies K.l.o.u.D gang’s Phases of The Moon with an intense blend of hard-hitting instrumentation and knife-edged flow. The hook is used to great effect here, tattooing the lyrics deep into the minds of listeners. Mooninight Riders is a bass-heavy cut that has an intricate flow requiring listeners a number of spins before hearing every syllable and nuance to the effort.
There is a richness to Brooklyn Brewery’s Insulated Dark Lager that provides enough twists and turns to impress even the most jaded of beer connoisseurs. The mouthfeel of Insulated is rich and creamy, while there is a toastiness to the effort that counters the tendency of lagers to go wheat-heavy. Insulated pours with a dark brown to blackish coloration and a good amount of white head that is slow to dissipate.…
NeuFutur Magazine is premiering the scenic and serene video for “The Future Perfect,” the new single from acclaimed electronic songwriter DeModa. DeModa describes the music of “The Future Perfect” as “very soft and endearing for the purpose of showing the sensitivity the protagonist feels towards the antagonist.” He attributes the song’s serene nature to a mother’s love for her child, and notes that the video for “The Future Perfect” perfectly…
Aluk Todolo returned to the studio during May – June 2015 to record their fourth album, entitled Voix (“voice[s]” in French). And now, the album is set for European release on February 5th via Norma Evangelium Diaboli [NED] (same date in North America via The Ajna Offensive).
Hotbox Coffee Porter is a collaboration between Oskar Blues and Hotbox Roasters. The resulting porter (utilizing two varietals of cold-brewed coffee from Burundi and Ethiopia) has a thick mouth feel and an assertive coffee finish that goes down incredibly easy. The beer pours with a dark brown coloration and a thick, slow to dissipate beige-ish head. The lacing sticks stubbornly to the glass as one begins to experience the effort.…
As the press materials that accompanied this record from Athens-based Antlered Aunt Lord so aptly describe it, the band (essentially Jesse Stinnard) is “the missing link between the Pixies and The Byrds if they’d been raised in the Appalachians.” No truer statements has ever been written in a press release. This oddball collection of nearly 20 songs is the perfect anecdote for what passes an “Indie Rock” today
With just four songs, Austin musician – by way of Louisiana – Ben Millburn makes an pretty meaningful first impression. On his debut, Strange Love & Consequences, Millburn blends classic rock with soul and pop for a sound that is instantly familiar.Of the four, the opening/title track is probably the strongest of the batch, but there really are no weak ones here. The production is minimal adding to a realness…
Straddling a thin line between garage rock and space pop, LA-based Mod Hippie turn in a debut that’s as satisfying as it is odd. The band mixes a wide collection of influences from psychedelic odd balls like Syd Barrett, with Beach Boys harmonies and Sonic Youth angular guitars
