Reviews of Self-Released Titles

Each song feels perfectly, beautifully natural, an outlet for a man trying to cope with death and loss.

A fresh sound that captures interest with beautiful songwriting and lush instrumentation.

If you’re familiar with Plone or Boards of Canada, you should know what to expect from David.

Easton isn’t doing anything mind-blowing here. He’s just very adept at penning good songs, musically and lyrically.

Despite the album’s fairly minimal nature, there’s something vast and alien about these songs.

I’m not comparing Lasso to the greats of country yet, but they have the potential of putting out an album worthy of comparison.

Flux is a beautiful, dark mixture of industrial electronica.

A different kind of fourth dimensional indie rockiness.

The Billions can write indie-pop odes to unrequited love that know all of the right ways to tug at the heartstrings.

Integrates industrial elements into a high voltage, easily recognizable Seattle modern rock sound.

Swirling guitars and glittering electronics lead the way, with female vocals weaving in and out.

It’s pretty obvious where The Waterfall Effect derives its sound, but it does so without sounding terribly derivative.

I’m still pondering some the lyrics on this album.

I mean, you name the shoegaze accoutrement, they’ve got it.

After several long, hard listens, one sees how lovely this simply, unassuming album can be.

Wearing sunglasses while sitting behind the wheel is the most appropriate place to listen to this album.

This stuff is actually worth listening to, and not as some sort of sonic endurance test.

If you’re at all into the darkwave scene, you might want to keep an eye out on these guys.

So help me if Reverse doesn’t actually live up to most, if not all of their grandiose statements.

A very consistent album, but that consistency keeps me from digging into this album.
