Sigur Ros – Inni
It is now time to check in with our favorite Icelandic angels, Sigur Ros. For anyone unfamiliar, Sigur Ros is a post rock band who produces achingly beautiful songs capable of reducing grown men to tears. No, honestly, I wept like a little girl before writing this review. The band’s...
Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011 – Day 1
Pictures and Words by Charles Nickles It’s noon on a Thursday. I’ve just landed in Austin with my girlfriend and the last miserable throes of a cold or a flu or whatever psychosomatic pain in the ass I’m secretly inclined towards this month…so I’m shaky with no sleep, prescription antihistamines...
Edsel – The Everlasting Belt Company and Detroit Folly (Reissued and Remastered)
Ed. Note: Since we’re considering two albums in this review and would prefer to avoid confusion, cover art can (as well as track listing) can be found at the bottom of the page. Edsel were a criminally undersung component of D.C.’s ‘90s post-punk / indie rock heyday. Granted, the ‘90s...

Justice – Audio, Video, Disco
I am mad at Justice right now. In fact I was thinking about not doing this review because the French electro house duo and I are not on speaking terms. Why am I mad? I don’t know why don’t you ask them? Justice and I used to be friends. In...
Evidence – Cats & Dogs
This album is extremely necessary to the world of hip hop and the music universe. And never has a sentence been more true for a “better than mediocre” album. You all know Evidence from his days with Dilated Peoples and the just-above-underground, “did that one song with Kanye” – collective...
Björk – Biophilia
It goes without saying that Bjork’s eighth album is odd. For the entirety of her career, Björk has challenged and redefined pop music into a shimmering mélange of avant tendencies. Whether or not anyone was around to appreciate it is another story. MTV’s the Real World was on so you...
Youth Lagoon – The Year Of Hibernation
It’s telling of an artists’ potential when they have the ability to make their own solo material sound like that of a fully-fledged outfit that has been together for years, and it’s all the more exciting when that talent is a mere twenty two years old. Step forward Trevor Powers,...
