Kid Freud – American Boy
My initial reaction to the opening of Kid Freud’s EP American Boy was one of brow furrowing hesitation. The title track, “American Boyâ€, sounds like a snotty British b-side channeled through the Jack White filter. But I stayed the course, as one song does not make a band – even if it IS the title track. Fortunately, […]
Deluxin’ – Cash yr Donut Early
Cash yr Donut Early by Deluxin' According to the liner notes, the second album from Deluxin’ was recorded in 2012 and 2013 at Reel Love Recordings but was just released in 2017. What happened in the years between is a mystery but the album, Cash yr Donut Early, is now available. It’s a loose and […]
Cloudmouth – “Drunk on What”
Absolutely LOVE this new video from Cloudmouth featuring the two members of the band alternating between a mysterious and ominious river discovery and ridiculous antics inside the back of a spruced up U-Haul truck. Any video that features someone blindfolded and swinging at an imaginary pinata is a total winner in my book but these […]

Hammock “Things of Beauty Burnâ€
The latest slow-burning video from Hammock is a dramatic visage of a dusty world and the travelers trying to keep alive within it. I tend to think of these guys as a post-post-rock band. They stem from the same world of quiet-loud dynamics but have moved past the big guitars for every track and found […]
NORM – Remember (2017 Deluxe Edition)
“I’ve gone full George Lucas Special Edition on my catalog†– a direct quote from NORM, aka Dave Paulson, in regards to re-issuing a souped up version of his 2014 EP, Remember. Why re-issue an EP just three years later? Because he found himself with a new song - “Another Town†– and it just happened […]
Sundaes – Sundaes EP
I have a lot of questions about this EP artwork. Is this the first bite of the first sundae during the photoshoot? Has he run through five previous parfaits and just didn’t quite get the right image? What flavor is it? Is that chocolate icing or some other unknown flavor? Is his eyeliner running due […]
