Review: Lost Society – Terror Hungry
From judging a book by it’s cover, I expected Terror Hungry to be one of those lame, party-thrash, throwback-to-the-’80s rip-off bands. Well, I got something completely surprising. … read more
Review: La Sera – Hour of the Dawn
Katy Goodman’s (Vivian Girls) third solo album under the name La Sera is uplifting and poppy, combined with a definitive Smiths-ian piece of brilliance. Warning: This album produces a strangely addictive sound that keeps one hooked from beginning to end. … read more

Review: Locusta – Dendromorphosis
With a few listens through this four-song EP release and my interest completely lacking, I looked backward. The Columbus, Ohio, tech/prog/death band has a full-length release, and surprisingly enough, the full-length sounded way more interesting than this set of tunes. … read more
Review: Kasper Bjørke – After Forever
Icelandic pop: Doesn’t that sound interesting? It conjures up feelings of cold and warmth intertwined to create crystalline structures that are only possible through sound. … read more
