REVIEW: Slow Blink – Warmth (2020)
Warmth is a 2020 single release by artist Amanda Haswell under the alias Slow Blink. Based in Chattanooga, TN, Haswell’s slow hypnotic tape loops pull and morph themselves into a haze of melancholia. Warmth is, appropriately, a very warm track full of speaker buzz and fuzz. As with Haswell’s other releases comes the strong, controlling… Continue Reading →
REVIEW: Good Grief – Git Gooder (2018)
It’s sloppy, muddy, and all there. The potency of the Good Grief’s songwriting and dedicated performance is a cut above the rest. Git Gooder is the sole album by Asheville, NC Punk band Good Grief. Released in 2018, the songs featured on the album are short, sweet, and to the point. Git Gooder’s sweeter moments,… Continue Reading →

The Angular Records’ 2012 re-release of Eleven Pond – Watching Trees / Portugal single comes across somewhat ‘standard issue’ from the surplus of the recent past.

ロストエデンへのパス (The Path To Lost Eden) is the 2015 album by Vaporwave and Electronic psychedelic artists t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 and Nmesh, respectively.

REVIEW: VTSS – Identity Process (2019)
If relentless pounding Techno is your jam, you better get out the toast for this record. Not to be confused with the goofball festival that is cyber goth, Identity Process sounds Industrial in quite a literal way. Bring The Noize opens the album with its rough and relentless mechanical tonality and textures. It’s beautifully hypnotic… Continue Reading →

REVIEW: Weed & Dolphins – Islandkid Cassette (2017)
Sure, it came out on cassette, but it’s also part of the album’s name. Islandkid Cassette is the 2017 full length release by Belarusian Indie… Continue Reading →
REVIEW: SlapClapS – Screams From The Darkness
No ‘1950s tough-guy’ cosplay here, Russian Psychobilly duo SlapClapS’s 2019 release Screams From The Darkness is a return to the gothic Punk origins of the… Continue Reading →
REVIEW: Catcher – Yesterday’s Favorite / The Skin (Uninformed Versions) (2021)
Catcher’s brooding melodies and pummeling rhythms constitute a sound reminiscent of early 2000s Post-Punk revivalism. It’s the revival of a revival sound, held back only… Continue Reading →
