Adia Victoria “You Know How It Feels”

Gotta give it up to the French for making film rather than just commerce. Case in point, watch this excellent short film on Adia Victoria and her relationship with the arts and how she came to be the artist that she is. It’s a reflective piece that feels more like an actual arts film than it […]

Karson - ☁

Did you know you can name an album an emoji now? Need proof? Check out the new Karson EP, simply entitled ☁. It’s five songs of laid back instrumentals, grounded in hip-hop style but transcending beyond a simple beat-making exercise. As the title suggests, it’s a floaty affair and should probably be best experienced on a […]

Future Crib – Stevie B.

There’s something about the final track on Future Crib’s debut, Stevie B., that really struck me. The song, “Draag”, is a bit of anomaly on the album with its 6 minute runtime amongst 3 minute pop songs but it embodies the undercurrent of darkness and melancholy that persists throughout the rest of the album.  I’ve caught […]

Woodsplitter – Egyptian Overload

You may not immediately recognize the name Ben McLeod but if you’re the type that pays attention to Nashville music you’re likely familiar with his main gig… guitarist in All Them Witches. This solo undertaking is billed as an instrumental metal album but that’s selling it entirely too short. While there’s plenty of massive guitar […]

Kim Logan - Pseudoscience: Chapter 2

In case you missed it, Kim Logan released the first Chapter of her “second oeuvre” back in December with Pseudoscience: Chapter 1. Before that, in October, she released the video for “Better Way” – which you should really watch at your earliest convenience. All that’s to say, there’s been consistent Kim Logan output as of late and […]

Levi J Miller – C.R.E.A.M.

Fuck off winter, it’s springtime! Summer looms on the horizon. Forget all that dreary bullshit of the past. C.R.E.A.M. is the enlightenment of the future, the fast paced garage rock, madness inducing, sloppy rock and roll, feel good future. 

Scale Model “Other Voices”

Brand new EP from Synth Poppers (yes, I’m calling them that) Scale Model is on the horizon. Four brand new tracks entitled Afterglow will be available on May 12th but, for now, you can indulge in the keyboardy goodness of “Other Voices.” Love those 80′s triggered drums.  

Transylvania Stud – The Red Queen

Despite having written this blog for years now, I’m still pleasantly surprised by the quality and diversity of music coming out of Nashville. The 3-song EP from Transylvania Stud, The Red Queen, is big riff rock inspired by the likes of Kyruss, Failure and Shiner – with a emphasis on the heavier side of things. […]

Uncle Skeleton “Jeux”

Uncle Skeleton no longer resides in the Nashville area but this video for “Jeux” – off of his latest album, Cocoa Beach – was created by Nashville visual artist MKAV. You may have seen his works as a background projection for Skyway Man or in the Okey Dokey video for “Congenial Man.”  So, yea, maybe it’s a […]

Daddy Issues “I’m Not”

Hear the second single from the forthcoming Daddy Issues album, Deep Dream, over on NPR Music. The backstory of the jangly rock track adds some additional appreciation to the listening experience. Here’s a snippet from the NPR piece: In an email to NPR Music, the band explains the song was written from a very personal place. […]

Super Mario KART While it’s not exactly music related, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the Super Mario Kart Art show happening at The Warren* tonight – April 7th. Lots of talented folks have contributed original pieces paying homage to game.  *1002 Fatherland St, Suite 201 above the Shoppes on Fatherland
