Cape May Brewing Company’s Devil’s Reach pours with a hazy, goldenrod to yellow color and a small amount of wispy head that dissipates quickly. There is a small amount of carbonation and a tart nose that issues forth from the beer. A good amount of grain and a sharp alcohol note make for a complex array of flavors; the crispness of the resulting brew is one that will keep individuals…
I Don’t Care is a perfect introduction to fans, as the effort showcases the vibrant side of the act while leaving just enough play for Giraffe to be able to expand upon this first effort. The track blends together traditional and alternative, calling back to The Donnas, The White Stripes and the power-pop of Boston and Cheap Trick. The deliberate and driving beat of I Don’t Care establishes a quick…
Lancaster, Ohio’s Fedd Up have released their Dark Days EP, providing listeners with a great introduction to this hard, sludgy rock act. Wild Flower is a track that builds off of Soundgarden, Animosity-era Corrosion of Conformity, and Kyuss. The charismatic vocals link up nicely with the guttural intensity of the guitars and punchy, on-point vocals. This introductory single hits on all cylinders, ensuring that listeners are on the edges of…
Exit 4 American Trippel is a complex effort that pours with a clear golden color and a good amount of white head that laces itself down the glass. The beer has a small amount of sweet and malt that can be discerned from its nose, while the first sip links together grain, malt, bananas, and figs before a stronger alcohol burn sneaks its way in. The Exit 4 is well-balanced…
Freezy is a performer from London, England that crafts something special. The high energy of Freezy’s latest track Boom ties together Chris Brown, Omarion, and T-Pain while showcasing the performer’s unique style.
Long Beach California’s own Prime Blaq has just released his latest effort, Perseverance. The track immediately will capture listeners’ attentions, as one can hear hints of Jay Electronica and The Game with bits of early “The College Dropout”-era Kanye West, during Perseverance, Prime Blaq is able to create a rapid flow that works perfectly with the J. Dilla-inspired backing beat. The rising synths that play in the background allow Prime Blaq’s…
We reviewed Eye’z in August of last year, taking a look into her inimitable style. We were pleasantly surprised when we learned that she was tapped to be a major part of the Barbary Coast Revue held at the Balançoire Restaurant and Nightclub (2565 Mission St, between 21 and 22 street) in San Francisco, California.
There are not a large number of breweries that actively put out beers in the Wee Heavy style, but San Clemente’s Left Coast Brewing has crafted a massive effort in their Get in My Belly. The beer pours with a mahogany coloration and a small amount of off-white to tan head. There is little in the way of carbonation to this effort, while the mouthfeel is thick and luxurious. There…
Fuzzy indie rock that is deceptively deep, allowing listeners to find something new with each subsequent listen. The guitar/drum dynamic that begins the track provides a narrative touching upon highs and lows. The frenetic energy of Fraudband during the single is infectious, while the spontaneity of the band ensures that fans will have little idea where the track will ultimately go.
You have just released your cover version of Omi’s Cheerleader. What twists and turns did you bring to your version and how did you make it yours? My cover of Omi’s No 1 Billboard song is turned to the female finding their special someone. I changed up some words in the song to reflect this to make it my own. Although overplayed, its still a catchy song! Light hearted compared…
A number of the musicians we review on NeuFutur have worked in factories, fast food, or any one of a multitude of fairly banal occupations. You have had a slightly more varied life. Can you go into detail about what occupations you held before your music career began? I worked as an office accountant for 3 years after college. For an office job it doesn’t get any more banal than…
Sue Feingold is an award-winning composer that has just released her magnum opus, the Waitin’ Tryptych. We were lucky enough to sit down with her to discuss her history, influences, accolades, and what the future may hold.
With Sunset Grid, MENGKESHI is able to create something that calls forth the electronic music of the eighties while imbuing it with a much more contemporary flow.
Hello, Magnus. What does No Paseo mean? Hi! I have it on mediocre authority that “no paseo” is Spanish for «I don’t stroll» or «I don’t go for walks». The meaning isn’t really important, though. It was first and foremost the sound of it that appealed to me, and the name just stuck.
The HALO SleepSack Swaddle is a must-have for new parents who are attempting to provide the greatest safety for their child. There is a chance of suffocation and injury from normal blankets that needed to be addressed, so HALO designed a product to replace loose blankets in that crib and one that ensures that an infant will remain warm and comfortable.
The second track to be unveiled from his third longplayer Pagodes (scheduled for release on 2nd October 2015 via If Music Records – a newly established record label by the acclaimed Soho-based independent record shop of the same name) “It’s ultimately about seizing the moment, listening to your heart, removing yourself from negative influence, immersing yourself in love, and finding clarity,” explains Jono. “But also acknowledging the idea that clarity…
Casebere may be one of the busiest performers that we have reviewed at NeuFutur. Whether it is with his solo act Case on Bass or the collaborations he has created (Casebere & Joyner, Constance & Casebere), it seems as if there is bold new music coming from the Casebere headquarters on a regular basis. Over the course of the last year, Casebere has crafted 12 full-length albums that could not…
We have been lucky enough to review a number of Heavy Seas beers in the last few years. When we found out that we were taking a trip to the East Coast, we made it a point to stop in Baltimore at their Alehouse (the company owns and operates a second location in Arlington, Virginia).
Saint Archer’s Mosaic IPA is a masterful blend of strong Mosaic hops with enough malt and alcohol burn, creating an eminently drinkable beer that bursts forth with additional flavors at every turn. The beer pours with a golden-yellow coloration and a good amount of creamy white head. This head laces its way down a glass, showcasing the progress that one has made on the beer. Citrus fruit and tart elements…
Chris Casino has created a track in Hot Chick that skillfully ties together rap, R&B, and EDM. The track builds off of the work of Flo Rida, Jadakiss, and Juicy J while keeping the tempo high. The track ensures that listeners will make it out to the dance floor; a skillful production allows the distinct elements to shine alone and as part of a unified front. Casino’s flow during this…
