The Babies were a short lived garage rock band that released music predominantly between 2010 and 2012, though a digital single featuring two outtakes from their second LP dropped in 2015. Today I’m looking at one of a handful of singles the band gave us in 2011 — Here Comes Trouble b/w My Tears.
Morrissey’s debut solo LP Viva Hate turns 35 in 2023. Today, I’m going to take a look at the second single from that LP, “Everyday is Like Sunday.” I’ll share a little about how a promo 7-inch single for the song found its way into my collection. I’ll dig into Viva Hate briefly. And I’ll…
The other day I covered one of my all time, desert island, top five records. Of course, I’m talking about Blonde Redhead’s 2007 LP 23. Today, I’m talking about another one. Like 23 was to Blonde Redhead, Bend Beyond is the 7th studio LP by psychedelic folk band Woods, and it was the last to…
I’ve been listening to Caroline Rose for years now, and it’s been really cool to watch them transform, not just as a musician but as a person. And with their 2023 release The Art of Forgetting on New West Records, we certainly get that.
We just passed the April 2023 Record Store Day, and while I compile my thoughts on some of the items I picked up, I figured I’d take a look back at an item from last year’s haul: Spaceman Demo Mixes by Spiritualized, which is somewhere between an EP and a Maxi-Single. This one was the…
Last year, Belle And Sebastian released what I dub as their best LP since 2006’s The Life Pursuit. That album is called A Bit of Previous. Then, back in January, they followed it up with another new release, Late Developers (which I reviewed a few months ago). Today I’m taking a look at a bit…
Dear Catastrophe Waitress is the sixth studio album by one of my favorite bands — the Scottish indie pop group Belle and Sebastian. As we are at the 20th anniversary this year — it was originally released on October 6, 2003 — I figured it was time to take a look back and run down…
If you’ve been following my music blog FensePost or my YouTube channel for any given length of time, you may have heard me call out Blonde Redhead as being among my favorite bands. Today I’m going to take a look at their 7-inch single for “Slogan” backed with “Limited Conversation” on Touch And Go Records.
Craft Spells is an indie pop band hailing from Stockton, CA and founded by singer-songwriter Justin Vallesteros in 2009. The band’s EP Gallery was released in 2012 on Captured Tracks, and features their unique blend of dream pop and indie rock, as well as Justin’s songwriting prowess. Released in 2012, Gallery features six tracks that…
I can’t think of shoegaze as a sub-genre without thinking of three instrumental bands in its original late 80s early 90s heyday: My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and this band: Ride. All three made a resurgence in the 2010s, releasing new music and reissuing old. The latest to resurface is this, Ride’s simply titled 4 EPs.
