Review: Author & Punisher – Melk En Honing
Author & Punisher Melk En Honing Housecore Street: 06.30 Author & Punisher = Iszoloscope + Aphex Twin + Darko4 Tristan Shone has used his “Drone and Dub” machines to create a release full of harsh, droning metal and pounding rhythms. The ingenuity of these mechanical devices and how they play their sounds simply astonishes me.

Review: Bell Witch – Four Phantoms
Bell Witch Four Phantoms Profound Lore Street: 04.28 Bell Witch = Usnea + Loss + Wolvserpent I guess it must be somewhat depressing in the northwestern parts of the USA, from Nor-Cal up through Washington. Maybe it’s just that lack of the ol’ sunshine. I remember listening to the debut from Seattle’s Bell Witch, and

Review: White Reaper – White Reaper Does It Again
White Reaper White Reaper Does It Again Polyvinyl Records Street: 07.17 White Reaper = King Tuff + Ty Segall / Hunx and His Punx The album title of White Reaper’s follow-up tells a painstaking story: Reaper is content with recycling the same approach they presented to us with their debut. The consensus on the Kentucky

Review: Bosse-de-Nage – All Fours
Bosse-de-Nage All Fours Profound Lore Street: 04.14 Bosse-de-Nage = Deafheaven + Sannhet A common theme in early press for the new Bosse-de-Nage album is that their last release was a split 12” with fellow Bay Area black metal band Deafheaven, and not without reason. Deafheaven have significant crossover appeal and have brought black metal at

Review: Downtown Boys – Full Communism
Downtown Boys Full Communism Don Giovanni Records Street: 05.02 Downtown Boys = X-Ray Spex + Black Flag Downtown Boys deliver a ferocious display of killer sax and some on-point, no-bullshit punk rock. Through their bilingual Marxist-feminist lyrics, Downtown Boys smash through a genre that is traditionally white and male. They’ve got an infectious energy that

Review: Youth Worship – LP1
Youth Worship LP1 Self Harm Records Street: 06.30 Youth Worship = Local H + Hum + R.E.M. Even though this new project from Asobi Seksu’s James Hanna started off compellingly enough with the rad EP1, their debut album, LP1, turned out to be a far cry from it. Somehow, they fell prey to something of
