Melding post-rock elements with ambient tones, Slack Aramada, for now, provides a 4-track instrumental effort comprised of true beauty and excellent influences. Below, you can read through our interview as Hrabak […]
Drew Caruso’s ‘Best of 2013’ In Music
December 10th, 2013 Drew Caruso As the year ends, I find myself shuffling through the albums I have accrued over the past months. Each album an experience, an insight gained, a lens changed, I have continually found myself lost in the art that encapsulated the sonic apotheosis of this past year. The experiences captured within these sounds provide themselves as […]
UTG INTERVIEW: Vitamin Sun
November 27th, 2013 Drew Caruso While a smaller Boston based band at the moment, I have the pleasure of being friends with Vitamin Sun, a band that just released their first EP, Ergonometry. Weaving in and out of complicated time signatures, the progressive rock band is ready to blow up onto the scene. Sure to please fans of Coheed and […]
Bon Iver Will Return, According To… Bon Iver
September 4th, 2013 Dan Bogosian In the wake of some over zealous blogs posting that Bon Iver was most likely over (we ourselves posted saying Justin Vernon was “unsure”), his label has posted that Bon Iver will return and pointed at several interviews pointing out the plan has always been for a long hiatus. From Jagjaguwar, both Bon Iver and […]
Justin Vernon Unsure If He Will Return To Bon Iver
September 3rd, 2013 Dan Bogosian There’s no good way to say a headline that involves a statement full of doubt. In an interview with Triple J (as sourced by NME), Bon Iver‘s Justin Vernon suggested he was nowhere near the headspace needed to write another Bon Iver record, and was unsure if he ever would be. The full quote is as […]
STREAM: The Blind Boys of Alabama ft. Justin Vernon – “Every Grain Of Sand (Bob Dylan Cover)”
July 19th, 2013 Nina Corcoran Much like Jay Z, it seems like Justin Vernon wants to get his hands in on just about everything. Apart from Bon Iver, Volcano Choir, P.O.S., Gayngs, The Shouting Matches, and Kanye West, Vernon has taken gospel group The Blind Boys of Alabama under his folk arms by producing their new album, I’ll Find A Way, out October […]

REVIEW: Bon Iver – Bon Iver
May 30th, 2011 James Shotwell “As much as I love this album, and I do (if I think about it subjectively, standing alone), I unfortunately can’t help drawing comparison’s to For Emma, Forever Ago. As much as I don’t want to, I’m human, and loving a band means knowing when they’re strong and weak. It would be wrong of me to pretend this album existed in a bubble, living without ties to other releases, because it would mean this album was a product of completely originality (and it isn’t). This is a continuation of artist growth and development that challenges listeners to forget the feeling and mood of the previous album with a platter or new thoughts and ideas.”
