Leonard Cohen – Old Ideas
I fucking love Leonard Cohen‘s work. This is important when reading this review. Leonard Cohen, for me, resides in a special place for silver age singer songwriters whose legacy and consistency eclipses their mortal age. They can do no wrong because they have earned that right. Johnny Cash did this...
Cloud Nothings – Attack on Memory
I have to be honest with you. I keep trying to intellectualize a lot of what Attack on Memory is but in doing so I’ve stripped most of the fun out of hearing a band finally find just what it is they’re about or, barring a strict definition, discover just...
WATERS – Out In The Light
Usually I give great care to the type of typographical choices an artist desires for their moniker. This is crucial in writing witch-house reviews and it will make itself apparent with WATERS. I am not yelling merely just repeating the band name. WATERS is the continuation of indie folk group...
The White Stripes / The Dead Weather – From The Vault 7″
There is a lot of things going on in that title. I understand. Beyond the star power which inhabits this very title is a story which is more intriguing. That story involves Third Man Records. Third Man Records is an independent label started by Jack White and bases itself in...
Trailer Trash Tracys – Ester
Able to incorporate the best parts of My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins and Warpaint, Trailer Trash Tracys‘ (from here on TTT) sound can at times sound quite different to anything else around at the moment- which is ironic, given such a list of influences. Female vocals and distortion-mangled guitars are...
Tyler Ramsey – The Valley Wind
Champagne cheersing to yet another year passing leaves me reminiscing and contemplating everything that’s been and gone. Fittingly I fell upon Tyler Ramsey’s The Valley Wind from 2011, sending me back into the Oneonta hills staring out into the rickety houses and old winding streets I walked so many times...
Florence + the Machine – Ceremonials
This past summer, I discovered Florence and the Machine’s album Lungs and fell madly in love with her unique fluttering voice integrated seamlessly with heart bellowing drums, keyboard, guitar, and harp. When I heard she had a new album, I couldn’t help but think, “Already?!” It seemed too soon to...
Future Of The Left – Polymers Are Forever
Future of the Left are a bunch of assholes. They will push you down and take you lunch money leaving only bruises in their wake. The band is derived from a lineage of assholes with half of the members being from the disbanded act Mclusky — who are also a...
