Review: Neighbours – Prime Numbers
Neighbours really suckle the teat of Motown and 70s soul. From the opening bass-lines of “Tell the Truth,” Neighbours give you danceability. … read more
Review: The Men – Campfire Songs
Breathtaking and unique, it’s a bold (albeit softer) testament to the band’s staying power that should whet the appetites of noobs and longtime fans, stoking the fires of another phenomenal LP. … read more
Review: Man Man – On Oni Pond
Man Man is one of those bands that nobody “kinda likes”—you either love it or hate it. We recognize the band for their ability to carve inexplicably aesthetic rhythms with a dynamic of makeshift percussive instruments condensed with frontman Honus Honus’ cathartic squawking. … read more
Review: Loves It – All We Are
“Western Swing Murder” is a jaunty little tune about a murder that masterfully pays homage to the genre referenced in the song’s title. “Rocket ship” is a quick rocker that showcases Walters’ Springsteen-like charisma. … read more
Review: Las Kellies – Total Exposure
I’m not usually a big fan of the use of synth in music, but this mix of dub-influenced, groove-filled tunes is seductive to the ears and just damn good. … read more
Review: Kill Everyone Now! – Self-Titled
Kill Everyone Now! is a guitar/drum duo that currently calls São Paulo, Brazil home (though they do have an SLC connection). This six-song EP clocks in at about 20 minutes and it powers through from start to finish. … read more
Reviews: Kevorkian Death Cycle – God Am I
If you are a fan of industrial and EBM music, you must obtain this release for your collection. It has been over a decade since this band has put something out for this world to devour, and I am grateful it has returned with a release that provides great listening pleasure. … read more
Review: I’m In You – Trust
I’m In You keep the guitars to a minimum, only using them for texture, giving the album a new wave feel like the darker songs of New Order filtered through Metronomy. For me, the album peaks in the middle with “Disclosure,” a track that would easily fit on the Drive soundtrack. … read more
Review: His Clancyness – Vicious
His Clancyness is a solo endeavor spawned by the lead singer of little-known Italian indie group, A Classic Education. Within the first 10 minutes of Vicious, Jonathan Clancy easily demonstrates more of a strength within American melancholic bedroom rock than the average college slacker. … read more
Review: Hickoids – Hairy Chafin’ Ape Suit
Boom! Right off the bat, I’m hit by the opening song “Fruit Fly” with an upbeat blues guitar solo and organ playing that sounds a lot like Gregg Allman was contributing to the song. … read more
