Entertainment For The Braindead: Seven (+1) [Album Review]

EFTB is Entertainment For The Braindead

In the last Entertainment For The Braindead release, Hydrophobia, it was decided, sans any sort of competent research, that Julia Kotowski created clever electronic folk music. But I stood corrected. It is only seemingly electronic, a swirling of various effects; instead, the music consists of random homemade instruments (“paper bins and pepper mills”), the beautiful feminine voice of Kotowski, and an array of instruments Kotowski taught herself.

Red Red Meat: Bunny Gets Paid [Album Review]

Red Red Meat

With Sub Pop, you never really know what you’re gonna get. Were it any other label, that would be a bad thing, but with Sub Pop they have a consistency of releasing great music. And once again, they deliver with Bunny Gets Paid, which hit stores a few weeks back. Of course, it originally hit stores several years back — this Red Red Meat release is a reissue.

Bluebridge Quartet: Adjusted For Low Noise Tape [Album Review]

Bluebridge Quartet

Sometimes all you need is to slap on that scratched up old copy of Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis, pour yourself a stiff glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, and crank up the volume knob. For you jazz enthusiasts out there, you know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s something inherently cool about drinking red wine amidst your record collection while a classic jazz album cracks and pops over your speakers. It’s primo stress relieving material.

Weinland: Breaks In The Sun [Album Review]

Weinland

La Lamentor found John Adam Weinland Shearer splitting his influential loyalties between two masters, Iron & Wine and Neil Young. Not influences to scoff at, no indeed. But on his follow up to that album, Weinland bursts forth as his own in Breaks In The Sun. He has tried a few things, come of age, and discovered that he can carry himself above and beyond his earlier influences. Read More »Weinland: Breaks In The Sun [Album Review]

Psalmships: Smoke + Vein [Album Review]

Psalmships

Psalmships is the latest project by folk genius Joshua Britton (The Sweetheart Parade). Where his earlier moniker found him a natural folk rhythm in guitar + vocalist, Psalmships is somewhat an antithesis. This is obvious from the earliest moments of opener “Determination”. The music isn’t acoustic guitar heavy; it’s not pointed and rough, or lo-fi. It is, in fact, smooth. Read More »Psalmships: Smoke + Vein [Album Review]

Metric: Fantasies [Album Review]

  • Margar 

Metric

Metric’s newest release, Fantasies, kicks to life with a heartbeat of a kick drum and weavings of stereo effect. The overly saccharine has been replaced with heartier bass lines; there is a moodiness that tempers throughout the album that creates a more mature and mainstream sound. While the overall feel of this album is a definite change from Live It Out, there are still elements that reminisce of their older material. Read More »Metric: Fantasies [Album Review]

Eulogies: Here Anonymous [Album pReview]

Eulogies

There is an obvious sense of natural progression that can be heard on any given Eulogies track. They are a refreshing objection to the stagnant reality of rock ‘n roll. The haunting yet calming sound Peter Walker’s majestic voice is easily up to par with any lead singer already well appreciated in the music community. And with extensive touring, and the release of their latest album Here Anonymous (due April 7th), these realities are sure to shine a light for Walker and company.
