Fontaines D.C. | Skinty Fia Sessions | 10-Inch Rough Trade Exclusive Review

Skinty Fia, the 2022 album by Fontaines DC, was one of my Top 10 Records of 2022. And my list isn’t the only one that saw it place high on the standard year-end lists. The album is astonishingly good from start to finish with several powerhouse tracks that warrant countless repeat listens. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to the hard-to-pronounce opener or “Roman Holiday” or even “I Love You.”

Letting Up Despite Great Faults is an indie pop and shoegaze band from Austin, Texas. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2009, is an impressive showcase of the band’s ability to blend dreamy soundscapes with electronic beats. Today I’m taking a look back at the album and unboxing the recent reissue on vinyl and the first ever vinyl pressing at that!

I’ve covered Built to Spill quite a bit of late here on FensePost as I’ve started working through reviewing and even unboxing everything in my collection. As I have most albums by Built to Spill and quite a few of their singles as well, that coverage will continue for some time. But today I’m going to stray from my normal vinyl coverage to document their live performance last night at Granada Theater in Dallas.

Yo La Tengo | This Stupid World | Album Review

It’s funny; when I think of a modern indie rock band that’s been around for some time and never really took a hiatus, I can’t help but think they formed when I was in high school. And by that I mean the mid to late 90s. Enter Yo La Tengo, who just released their LP This Stupid World in 2023. The band formed all the way back in 1984. That’s closing in on 40 years!

On January 28, 2023, the world lost one of the visionary pioneers of punk rock: Tom Verlaine. His 1977 album Marquee Moon with the band Television would influence not just punk rock but other sub genres like post-mid-70s art rock, post-punk, new wave, alt rock, and 1980s indie rock. Today I’m going to look at a little thing I stumbled upon years ago called Television with Bryan Eno.
