Hayden: In Field And Town [Album Review]

Hayden

I’m continually surprised by In Field & Town. It’s been a good five years plus since I really sat down and listened to Hayden (MySpace), but revisiting his early record Everything I Long For, it’s easy to hear what drew me to the artist in the first place. Hayden’s demeanor on that record is one I wholly associated with at that time—mopey, sad, borderline depressed. But, in listening to his latest works contained within In Field & Town, it’s apparent we both have changed. Read More »Hayden: In Field And Town [Album Review]

The Walking: Wanderings And Distractions [Album Review]

The Walking

The Walking is a properly named moniker for the endlessly roving singer/songwriter Arman Augusto, and the experimental laced Wanderings and Distractions sounds like a beautiful collaboration between man, earth, and existence. The album was recorded in multiple locations, from up and down the west coast all the way out to Cape Cod, and it really does show throughout it’s run-time. This superb travel diary of the mind is a real have-backpack-will-follow piece of excellence. Read More »The Walking: Wanderings And Distractions [Album Review]

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head: Glistening Pleasure [Album Review]

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head

Glistening Pleasure follows the path of other recent hyped artists like MGMT, Cut Copy and White Williams thanks to Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head (NPSH) adding in substantial dance-ridden glam, output through flambuoyant vocals and new-wavey keyboards. Guitar riffs hone in on the minimal—they lack full strums that plague many artists—thus, they encompass the definition of “riff” and are truly plentiful in soundscape.

The Old Believers: Eight Golden Greats [Album Review]

The Old Believers

Talking to an acquaintance about The Old Believers (MySpace), we noted how astonishing it was that the old-time-y folk-pop duo has been able to define their own unique sound despite their young age—both are around 20. Yet, in retrospect, other notable artists have fit this category nicely. Namely, in modern times, Zack Condon of Beirut. In old times, the name that would have likely reigned supreme would have been Buddy Holly. The Old Believers are Keeley Boyle and Nelson Kempf and the two flip back and forth on vocals from song to song. Read More »The Old Believers: Eight Golden Greats [Album Review]

The Lost Pines: Middle Of The Morning [Album Review]

The Lost Pines

It almost seems unfathomable to think that young people would give a sweet damn about traditional bluegrass. But, The Lost Pines (MySpace) have proven those living inside the box completely wrong. Middle Of The Morning is straight down to earth, Texas good timin’ tunes. Like a batch of Woodie Guthrie followers from the sixties, a new craze is being built. One banjo pluck at a time.
