Record Store Day in April of 2023. It was announced that there was a new companion EP to Once Twice Melody, the 2022 LP by dream pop duo Beach House. It’s called the Become EP, and it was limited to — get this — JUST 8,000 copies on clear wax. Shell out $20-25 for five…
“No One’s Gonna Love You” is a single by American indie rock band Band of Horses. It was the second single from their second studio album, Cease to Begin from 2007, preceded only by “Is There A Ghost.” While CD singles exist from 2007, this 7-inch single was released in 2008.
By the time the single for “Turn on the Water” was released in 1992, The Afghan Whigs were relatively cemented in the underground alt rock scene and either had or were about to release their third album and second on the then go-to Seattle label for the burgeoning grunge scene: Sub Pop.
I’ve covered Julia Jacklin a few times on my YouTube Channel now, taking a look at both her 2019 LP Crushing and this year’s Pre Pleasure, so I’m no stranger to the Australian artist. Today, I’m going to hone in on one of my favorites from her; it’s her 7-inch offering from Sub Pop Singles…
To understand Build To Spill’s impact on me and why I am so excited about their 2022 LP, When the Wind Forgets Your Name, we have to take a trip back in time about 25 years. When you look back on your life, there are likely bands and albums that had a huge impact on…
I just covered the new album by Spoon the other day, and like that band Low has been around since 1993. It’s shocking to think that was 30 years ago, but here we are. In 2021, Low gave us their 13th studio album, Hey What, which led to a Grammy Nomination for Best Engineered Album….
Psychedelia and shoegaze meet cowboy couture. Orville Peck is one of the year’s most exciting new artists, and he’s received critical acclaim and praise across the interwebs.
“Against the Day” is the band’s first new material since their 2017 LP Cry Cry Cry. In this post: hear the song, watch the video, and revisit their 2005 debut LP.
These connections we make can be easy in today’s world (especially if you land more on the middle-ground ambivert end of introversion, as I do), but knowing and understanding ourselves may very well be the greatest challenge of all.
I’m somewhat smitten by the upbeat pop sounds of one of Sub Pop‘s new signings from the past year or two. It’s a little band out of Australia with a weird, long band name: Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. If I didn’t have better things to do, like listen to this EP again unhindered by the…
