Wolf Parade – Expo 86
This is my plea. Wolf Parade needs to dissemble as a band. Expo 86 makes that much crystal clear. This is not because this current release is pitiful, it is quite enjoyable even, but there is a greater picture to be seen. The two lead men, Spencer Krug and Dan...
The Roots – How I Got Over
It’s simply impossible for The Roots to make a bad album. The worst that the crew from Philly can do is record an album less-good than their others. And even their less-good shit is twice as good as almost everything out there. Scientifically speaking: (The Roots-Album X ≥ The Roots-Album...
Skibunny- Walk Don’t Walk EP
If there’s anyone who should know what makes dancefloor friendly music, it’s the Belfast/Edinburgh duo of Skibunny. After DJing Belfast’s premier indie alternative night for years, these guys know what makes a catchy hook and a killer chorus. It’s a shame then that as the guys have decided to put...
Crocodiles – Summer of Hate
The Crocodiles are a fairly new band that came onto the scene in 2008 with their single, “Neon Jesus.” Fat Possum records picked up the band which might seem a bit out of place mostly because Fat Possum tends to sign more bluesy rock, not so much lo-fi. Nevertheless, The...
Neon Trees – Habits

It’s that category that consists of actions and attractions that, by all indications of your typical sensibilities, you should despise…but you don’t, and you don’t know why. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Look around you. Your best friend, your...
Scissor Sisters – Night Work
Its time to become comfortable with your sexuality, otherwise getting through Night Work maybe a difficult task. In fact, you probably wont get past the record counter with that glorious derriere comforting everything you once believed. While not overtly (homo)sexual, there is an apparent undercurrent leading you in an obvious...
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – Before Today
Do you sometimes find yourself wishing you were better than you are? I mean like a child wishes, you know, with no real efforts made to realize your desired change beyond the wish itself. We’ll if no one else does at least I still wish. I wish because change is...
High on Fire – Snakes for the Divine
Where Matt Pike lives, there are orcs and shit. Dragons. Vikings and demons and ninjas and everything is on fire all the time even when there’s an ice age. And snakes. Always snakes. I mean fucking everywhere. But that’s cool because Matt Pike is metal and no snake can withstand...
