ALBUM STREAM: How To Dress Well – ‘What Is This Heart?’

His third album, What Is This Heart?, comes out on June 24 via Weird World, but the record is up in full to stream prior to that release. Listen at your own risk — you may […]
Songs For The Season: Summer Playlist
Summer, the long coveted season for students, teachers, kids, parks, and numerous other interested parties, has always seemed to invigorate the beginning of something new. While it presents a change in season, it also sparks a temperate reinvention. Summer removes the constraints of autumn’s sweatshirts, winter’s coats, spring’s windbreakers, and welcomes humanity in its most […]
‘Paranormal Activity 5’ Pushed to 2016
For better or for worse, some horror films see more sequels than others. Paranormal Activity is one of those. It seems its creators, however, have found themselves in a dry well. When Paramount Pictures revealed they were planning to release Paranormal Activity 5, they admitted they were having trouble finding an innovative, interesting new take. The […]
REVIEW: The Antlers – ‘Familiars’
Artist: The Antlers Album: Familiars Genre: Ambient Rock Label: Anti- When a band takes its name from a Microphones song, it’s fair game to expect hopeless toiling in love metaphors, jumpy explorative arrangements, and, above all, musical cataracts in the form of depression. Phil Elverum’s “Antlers,” a lo-fi folk recording that fades out with a […]

REVIEW: The Devine Xperience – ‘The Devine Xperience’
Artist: The Devine Xperience Album: The Devine Xperience Genre: Electronica, Breaks Blending just about every known sub-genre of EDM, The Devine Xperience crank out 49 minutes of electronic sounds, beats, and samples in an 11-track self-titled debut (including three remixes) that falls flat of living up to its name. However, if you’ve got the better […]

Escape The Fate Were The Last To Learn Of Max Green’s Departure
Escape The Fate have a knack for making headlines, and not always in the good way. After quite a few lineup changes, the group is down to only one original member, which is Robert Ortiz. Up until recently, founding member Max Green was also a part of the lineup (for the second time, I might […]
Stream Chrome Sparks’ “Marijuana” With The Addition Of Kitty
One of my favorite stand-alone tracks of 2013 was Chrome Sparks‘ “Marijuana,” hands down. I don’t even smoke, so it has nothing to do with the title. The production is just stellar. The song grooves and bounces along and you simply can’t help but do the same. Just yesterday, internet celebrity of sorts and Noisey […]
