Anyone that has been reading this site for any amount of time knows that I have a deep affinity for any band that is capable of finding the balance between upbeat pop music and melancholy vocal delivery. With that in mind, when I stumbled upon People Zoo and their debut EP I was quite pleased. […]
Typically you think of Mystery Twins as an explosive bit of garage rock but their softer side packs just as much of a punch. This two minute performance of “Now & Then†is beautifully shot and just a touch of haunting in the vocal performance. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Want to know a surefire way to take already enjoyable, immersive, shoegaze music to the next level? Take the audio intended for 45rpm playback and set it at 33 1/3 speed. That slowed down sludginess provides just the right amount of disconnected, time-warp, ethereal immersion.Â

The crew meets up in a questionable biker bar with leering men, takes them on with lazer guns and then rocks out after a contemplative moment in the bathroom with a holographic makeup […]
The specificity of it is hard to describe but there’s a raw confidence throughout the latest full-length release from Anchor Thieves that really carries the album. The fuzzed out guitars and dreamy vocals are expertly executed through the ten songs but the variety of small details that crop up in each song are what have […]

The infamous Queen + David Bowie cover does not seem like a likely target for brooding psych rockers All Them Witches but it works surprisingly well.
