Review: Thee Heavenly Music Association – Shaping the Invisible

Posted on May 20, 2005 (April 7, 2025) by Asha Pruitt

Review: Thee Oh Sees

Album cover for Floating Coffin by Thee Oh Sees.

hese days, it seems John Dwyer only knows life from within the walls of his abundant pet projects. His dabbling with Thee Oh Sees caused the band to beget 12 albums since 2004—virtually nominating Dwyer as the Nikolai Tesla of contemporary garage/psyche.  … read more

Review: They Might Be Giants

Posted on May 29, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

They Might Be Giants have had a rocky history over the past decade when it comes to their adult albums. Their 2011 album, Join Us, was OK at best, nowhere near 2007’s The Else, which left a lot of potential for Nanobots to be really awesome. … read more

Review: Toro Y Moi

Posted on May 29, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

Chaz Bundick wanted his third studio album to be a pop record; something his girlfriend could dance to. What he created is his most fluid album to date. The shades of 80s R&B and chopped vocal stabs in the background are reminiscent of his first album, … read more

Review: Tormented – Death Awaits

Posted on June 7, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

Hey, this is almost like Entombed never flip-flopped on their style. Tormented help the old-school Swedish death metal remain alive along with their own rusted twists and nasty riffs.  … read more

Tim & Adam - Self-titled album artwork

Before Tim & Adam, I had never actually listened to either of them. Tim, of The Postmarks and Adam from I Am Stereo came together and created an album that will most likely end up on many a summer mixtapes. … read more

True Widow - Circumambulation album artwork

Compared to As High As the Highest Heavens and from the Center of the Circumference of the Earth, Circumambulation proceeds with sparser guitar and deliberate bass, beginning the slow burner as such with “Creeper.” … read more

Review: Trash Monsters – There’s a Rat in the Tunnel of Love

Posted on October 2, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

Punk rock is best served when it’s not trying to be punk, but when its simply trying to be load, fast, obnoxious rock n’ roll. That’s what Trash Monsters do so well.  … read more

Review: Tony Joe White – Hoodoo

Posted on October 30, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

This blues-like punk rock, in a way, is very simple—it’s often played with the same chord progressions, tempos and even instrumentation. So, like punk rock, it takes talent creativity and originality—all of which are not found in high amounts on Hoodoo.  … read more
