Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

There is a great album at the heart of Drukqs. It’s just unfortunate that you have wade through two for it.

Sufjan Stevens displays a real knack for taking his arsenal of abstract sounds and letting them go wild without damaging his music’s integrity.

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

These guys play intricate and heartfelt rock, full of passion and honesty.

You get the feeling that, in order to truly appreciate this music, you need to see the movie.

It vaguely reminds me of some of the Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus’ material.

The Fleshpeddlers are not what I was expecting.

Donald Glaude knows he is there to entertain the crowd and have a good time, and it really shows.

While it has hooks aplenty, it doesn’t really have standout tracks.

Probably as a good a place as any to start if you want to start delving into the history of electronic music.

The album never becomes as compelling as it tries so hard to be, regardless of what you file it under.

!!! may just be the world’s first post-punk funk group.

Even though it’s electronic, there’s a very personal and innocent quality to the music that should match any indie-pop fan’s liking.

Employing Southern rock stylings with some funk and occasional smatterings of hip-hop and metal, Tribute is extremely patchy.

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

I love the fact that it’s Christians putting this stuff out, that it’s Christians who are pushing the envelope of what’s acceptable.

Charity Empressa’s “drone” music makes for a beautiful and consistently rewarding listen.

Björk’s latest trades the icy bombast of Homogenic for deeper, richer, more intimate soundscapes and incredibly revealing lyrics.

With some better production and a larger label, Narcoleptic could do very well for themselves.

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