V to Z “King Swim”

Joshua Moore is best known for hammering out the drums for the likes of The Katies, Bright Age and The Jane Shermans but he’s got plenty more musical goodness to give to the world. V to Z is his newest solo project in which he plans to release one new track a month, for free, […]

Meadownoise – Think Like a Monkey / Deafened by the Ring

Matthew Glassmeyer’s Meadownoise seems to consistently find itself doing things a bit different. From retracting his first EP from the Internet (sold out is sold out), to releasing an album in portions through the course of a year (see Dark Digest), he approaches things a bit different. The latest endeavor in this realm is his […]

We Own This Town – Volume 64 It’s back! After uploading 63 previous episodes I felt inspired to make another installation. I mean, who ends on 63 iterations of something? It’s insanity.

Litton Lions – War and Peace

The vocal stylings of Jerry Campbell are very distinct and a welcome return as I haven’t heard them around since the last Millionaire Magicians release.  This release may just be a one-off but it’s seven […]

Date Night – Rough Demo

Don’t do that to yourself Date Night. These three songs may not be as polished as your brain imagined but the rough-around-the-edges performance, visceral energy and enjoying-yourself feeling that comes from the recordings is really working. Maybe they are demo’s but let’s not call them rough.

Heads up. You now have plans for February 13th. 

Black Static Line – Enil

Though it’s self-described as ambient, the latest from Black Static Line, Enil, is much more immersive and captivating than such a label would lead you to believe. Ambience infers a general vibe or atmosphere created by a particular work – which is true here – but their longform soundscapes demand more attention than just a […]
