Linfinity – Martian’s Bloom
Linfinity is the poetry of Americana in a nature state of maturity. Ancient but alive, ticking like rustic antique clocks that are now international collectables, part of an alternative genre that benefits from the influence of world music. The quivering voice of Dylan Von Wagne booms with primitive angst. There...

Envy On The Coast – Lowcountry
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Envy On The Coast has done a wonderfully masterful job of recording an album meant for 1998. Mainstream rock that recalls elements of a dark period in music creativity, with rock chords performing as a cure-all. This is not revisional history, nor homage to a time period. ...

Future Islands – In Evening Air
Not every reason is a revelation. Not every instance an eclipse. Some things just happen. Some times just pass. We live our lives. Some of us die. Others mourn and still more move on without notice. Most of us forge perfectly unremarkable paths for ourselves. Settling into familiar circumstances. Routines,...

The Hate My Day Jobs @ The National Underground
Pound that fucking Schlitz then put that smug face straight in the radiator as hard as you fucking can. You feel it yet? Hmmmm. All right, then. Try some Mezcal (preferably an Anejo/scorpion blend) then rip the front off of a box fan. Think all about how you would’ve (somehow,...

MGMT – Congratulations
Let’s be real with ourselves, even though we were told by trendsetters that we had just witnessed the genesis of new music, the first MGMT album Oracular Spectacular, was mediocre at best. It was carried by the three tracks that we’ve heard mixed, re-mixed, soundtracked, and overplayed like every “it”...
