Review: Depeche Mode – Delta Machine
Review: Deerhunter – Monomania
This album is a bit of a change for Deerhunter—a bit less shoegazy and experimental, and a lot more fun. … read more
Review: Decades – Self-Titled
On their self-titled debut full length, Toronto four-piece Decades deliver bursts of ‘80s Brit-pop through echoey shards of shoegaze. … read more

Review: Del Venicci – Haunted Hall
Del Venicci chose a theme—ghosts—and ran home with it. Looking beyond the (sometimes over-) saturated haunting sounds and ghostly wails throughout, the shoegazey love quartet have some pretty solid jams. … read more
Review: Dead Rider – Chills on Glass
Imagine a funky psychedelic trip where the ‘70s meet the ‘90s, minus the angst. “Blank Screen” is a perfect description of what this band is about: smooth vocals, experimental electronic sounds and a funky rhythmic beat. … read more
