Succumb to Still Parade’s dream-funk sounds on new single, “07:41”
December 4th, 2015 Brian Leak The Niklas Kramer-led solo project Still Parade—projecting his creations from Berlin—has a funky new single online, and if it doesn’t make you dance, you must not be listening. “07:41” brings to mind some sort of amalgam made up of elements provided by Neon Indian, Hot Chip, Toro Y Moi and like-minded, dreamy, folky, funky pop-and-otherwise […]

Slowdive Hinting Towards A Reunion
January 20th, 2014 Drew Caruso Slowdive was a wonderful band. From Reading, England, the quintet dominated the shoegaze scene in the early nineties.

Fortunately, after being inactive for nearly twenty years, it seems that there is hope on the horizon for some form […]
