“Music” Archives

The simple fact is that any new music from Lee Bozeman is a gift.

Some of the enigmatic vaporwave producer’s funnest, and funkiest, music to date.

Fire Records will reissue the album this September.

Kiriyama Family’s soulful pop definitely has a retro sense about it, but it’s far more than just a nostalgic retread.

While certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, I consider this one of 2017’s most fascinating and compelling albums.

Dreamy autumnal pop, spaced-out slowcore, The Smiths get a shoegaze makeover, and some gorgeous psychedelic pop.

Sorrow Plagues’s blend of black metal and shoegaze contains a few sonic surprises along the way.

The reunited trio’s performance of “My Hands Are Thermometers” will probably be the highlight of my week.

Marty Robbins’ music presents an idealized, but never schmaltzy vision of the American West. Plus, he has a voice for the ages.

Timber Timbre’s music is dark and disquieting, and intoxicating precisely because of that.

Art can be transcendent — but enjoying it in spite of the artist’s flaws and transgressions can be difficult.

Slowdive’s Pitchfork Live performance accentuates the great continuity between their oldest and newest material.

Unwed Sailor’s latest EP is particularly ambitious in scope and sonic diversity.

More than just a simple nostalgia trip, the new full-length finds Slowdive building on their celebrated sound.

I’ve compiled this list to celebrate the release of Slowdive’s first new album in over two decades.

Originally released in 1988, this album feels like the blueprints of what would eventually come to be known as vaporwave.

Ambient soundscapes that are as foreboding and ominous as they are beautiful.

A blend of modular electronics and stirring ambient passages.

Highly evocative electronic music, unused synthesizer movie scores, and vaporwave composed before vaporwave was a thing.

And just in case you were wondering, there is a cover of Drake’s “Hotline Bling.”
