The brothers make music that sings through you, and their impossibly personal vividly intimate melodies are the product of a lifetime of making music together. Seamlessly blending precision precise pop hooks, grandiose orchestration and experimental structures, their anthemic songs get straight to the point and leave the listener…

Sonos combine a rich, classically choral sensibility with their ultra-modern repertoire, “mostly in the folk/indie genre — Fleet Foxes’ “White Winter Hymnal” adapted beautifully to their style, Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place” is haunting, and Imogen Heap’s “Come Here Boy” as entrancing as a lullaby.” – Washington Post “Prepare to be stunned.” – The Guardian (UK) “A majestic album that will live a long, long time.” – SonicBoomers.com “The…
For his latest effort, Future Sons & Daughters, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, AM, found inspiration while mining the crates of his extensive 1960s record collection – ranging from obscure Brazilian music to Italian soundtracks. Armed with a studio of instruments (guitars, ukuleles, glockenspiel and synths), AM and producer Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields), recruited a host of talented players to add sonic layers to the songs. Together, they set off to create…

Beginning their career as Xecutioner in 1984, OBITUARY remains one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in the death metal genre they inadvertently helped forge. Hailing from the sunny state of Florida, the band’s decidedly un-sunny take on metal integrated devastatingly slow, lead-footed riffing with obliterating overtures and guttural screams; the adrenaline of a speedball with the slow, degrading measures of a sewer at dusk. It was a sound…

A hot minivan barreling down the highway, filled to the brim with siblings, sleeping bags, and travel checkers sets—this is the setting for a decades-old American tradition upheld by millions: arguing over the radio dial until consensus is happily found at that hallowed institution, the oldies station. Thus begins the story of Ortolan, four young women from Southern New Jersey with music-loving, art-teacher parents, devoted to each other in laughter,…
God-Des & She are like strict parents. Or coaches. They only hurt your feelings because they love you. On their new single “Radio Up” they take the radio down a peg, but only because they care about it so much. Over a grinding beat provided by Baltimore’s Reina Williams, emcee God-Des spits fire about the downfall of the radio and the record industry as we once knew it. “The music…
