Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

Drekka sits quite comfortably alongside the rest of BlueSanct’s roster, which is no small feat considering the quality of that label’s acts.

This could be a lost classic of the late ’80s British punk scene or the DC post-punk movement.

She has a wistfully beautiful voice that can make you fall in love with her from a distance.

The Fire Theft are every bit as potent as Enigk and company’s earlier work.

A masterpiece of scope, imagination, and execution.

Originally released on Hush Records, hopefully this reissue gets the larger audience that it deserves.

Show Me Your Tears continues to mine Black’s current fixation with country-based rock n’ roll.

Transfiguration of Vincent is easily one of this year’s top five or so releases.

There’s a swagger in the band’s step here, a sneer on their face, and they’ve got the goods to back it up.

All of the elements that made Jai Agnish’s debut so intriguing are also on display here.

He has only two releases in his young career, but Sam Beam has already made a believer of me for life.

Jurado’s discards are far superior to most people’s a-list material.

At its best, this contains the kind of music I wish Warp released all the time.

There were plenty of moments where Violence & Technology became a rather invigorating listen.

One of the year’s best, and I can’t wait to hear more Nobody in upcoming years.

Their music proves to be quite a bit more than just the sum of their obvious influences and inspirations.

Overall, I’d have to say that Mercury Radio Theatre’s music lends itself much better to a live setting.

Their most unpredictable and heaviest album to date.

This probably kicks more ass than any soundtrack has a right to.

Crow is at heart just a singer/songwriter, but with My Room is a Mess, he proves once again that his lo-fi offerings are slick, inimitable, and brilliant.
