Levi J. Miller – God Complex

Posted Thu July 11, 2019

GOD COMPLEX by Levi J. Miller According to his Bandcamp discography, Levi J. Miller has some thirty-eight releases available to listen to.

A Nashville Video Sessions Primer

Posted Tue July 9, 2019

For almost as long as Internet Video has been available (I see you RealPlayer), there have been in-studio performances filmed and broadcast. Over time, these kinds of sessions have become easier and easier to create. The cost of great looking cameras has dropped exponentially, editing software doesn’t require a ten week course to understand and, […]

Stereo Specter – “Obsolete Man”

Posted Fri July 5, 2019

Stereo Specter has been releasing a handful of singles over the past few months that should not be overlooked. The latest, “Obsolete Man“, is a great place to dive in. It’s an upbeat number decrying a relationship in which the narrator was deemed obsolete and is now triumphantly trying to prove his worth; a feeling […]

Chrome Pony – “Taking My Time” (Official Video)

Posted Fri June 28, 2019

Chrome Pony released Past Lives back in 2016 and spent the past three years playing out, writing a bunch of new songs and working through recording false starts.

There’s something undeniably chaotic about the new Soft Robot video for “Happiness” (taken from Nothingness in Vogue). Three paper masked characters perform choreography along with the song lyrics while glitched out effects, datamoshing and general visual cacophony plays out over the course of nearly 4 minutes. Oddly enough, it’s a captivating experience, not an unsettling […]

Baby Breath – “CELLS”

Posted Wed June 26, 2019

CELLS by Baby Breath God bless Bandcamp Discovery. Finding gems like this new track from Murfreesboro artist Baby Breath is a treat that’s difficult to articulate. “CELLS” is a fascinating mixture of driven, thick, dirty, electronic music paired with detached, disturbingly calm, vocals. The juxtaposition between the two elements is captivating and immediately evokes imagery […]

Z – “Breeding Time” (Official Video)

Posted Tue June 25, 2019

In their short time, Z has established themselves as a rather limber and diverse stylistic undertaking. Their last album, BarbedWire.org, is a collection of relatively upbeat pop songs with a somewhat ominous and frantic tone that reveals itself throughout the course of the record. MAGNUFEEK was an onslaught of four-on-the-floor beats and downright scary presentation; […]
