Akula Has A Familiar Voice Yet Wholly Original Sound On Titanic Debut
Let’s peel back the curtain on the creative process a little with today’s review, shall we? Firstly, I don’t have the manpower or the time to review EVERYTHING that comes through the ole digital inbox so unless it’s something I’ve requested or an artist I’m already aware of, the selection process goes like this: I sit down at the end of the day and just pore through whatever came in.

What does pique my interest gets downloaded and sorted by when it’s getting released so I have ample time to get it posted before it’s out. [Read more…]

Welles Hits Cambridge This Weekend Supporting Dead Sara And New Record Red Trees and White Trashes
There’s something astoundingly familiar about Welles’ Red Trees and White Trashes. Like this delightful hybrid of Neutral Milk Hotel and Queens of the Stone Age, the kind of music found within is this truly great sonic journey that treks through Americana with a sort of fuzzed out folk complete with electric bluesy styles and big beats.

The Black Queen Skillfully Synthesize Sexy And Solemn Sounds On Sophomore Opus Infinite Games
I’ve always thought that Greg Puciato had a beautiful voice. Yeah, I said it! While most gravitated towards his heavier works in Dillinger Escape Plan, I tended to latch onto the more melodic turns like “Black Bubblegum” or his more alternative turns in Killer Be Killed or Spylacopa.
