Local Review: Black Seas of Infinity/The Red Path – Ophitic...
There’s something about opening the package containing this split cassette release, pulling a black cassette tape wrapped in shed snakeskin out of the plastic case with some strange symbol/logo on it. … read more

Review: Zone Tripper – Voyager
Zone Tripper’s new ep, Voyager took me back in time when the popularity of synth pop had just begun. Voyager is fun but beautiful—the almost arcade-like tracks had my mind wandering to the days when I filled the hours playing classics like Pac-Man and Tetris. … read more

Review: White Suns – Totem
White Suns encapsulate destruction par excellence with Totem. One may first recall works like Jane Doe with opening track “Priest in the Laboratory,” with its contra-time signatures and cacophonous electric-guitar malfunctioning and anti-chords—it’s sporadic, broken movement. … read more
