Singles! Practice, “I Saw Love”

22 December 2020 By jesse 2 Comments

Practice is such and unique blend of indescribable sonic delights. Formed by We Are Scientists, Spill Gold, and Bishop Allen’s former drummer Michael Tapper, Practice hearkens back to a time when music was just fun and with recent single “I Saw Love” (Taken from the forthcoming full-length due in early 2021), explores and encapsulates that aesthetic to give listeners this this pure, raw thing that’s jovial, jubilant, and genuine.

Gang Of Four Celebrate The Legacy Of Andy Gill With Anti Hero

14 July 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

This is my second review lately of an artist releasing something after a founding member has shuffled off this mortal coil and it’s depressing as fuck because the relevant brilliance in both cases is staggering.

But I digress!

Jenn Vix Concocts Strange Synthetic Utopia With 6

12 April 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

Jenn Vix is making the kind of Electro music you need to hear. Like a mix of The B-52’s in their early years and Gary Numan circa The Pleasure Principle with hints of the Eurythmics thrown in for good measure, 6 is a veritable melting pot of awesome electronic sounds presented in a new way.

UNKLE Delivers The Empire Strikes Back Of The Road Trilogy With Lost Highway

28 March 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

There’s something comforting when James Lavelle announces new music from UNKLE and even more comforting when said music is the middle of a trilogy of new tunes from the Electronic genius. And even MORE comforting when said middle album is a massive double disc of new Electro jams.

Electric Six Starts Your Halloween Off Early With The Ghoulish Rawk Of Bride Of The Devil

27 September 2018 By jesse Leave a Comment

Electric Six is to THE RAWK what AC/DC is to the hard rock genre meaning when you dive into a new E6 outing, you definitely know what to expect. And like any AC/DC album worth its’ weight, that ain’t a bad thing by any means.

But I digress [Read more…]

The Nectars Harness All Of The Fun On Raucous Sci-Fi Television

31 May 2018 By jesse Leave a Comment

From the minute “I Want It” starts on Sci-Fi Television, listeners should already be aware that they’re in for a unique musical journey. Then Jessica Kenny opens up with lines like “You’re tellin’ me to wait/But I don’t wanna wait/You’re tellin’ me to wait?/You can fuckin’ wait/I want it now” which isn’t really a lyric but more of a mission statement meaning if you aren’t ready for the rawk then press “stop” now.

Goldie Transcends Drum ‘N’ Bass On Epic Double Album The Journey Man

15 June 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

There’s something oddly soothing about sitting down and pressing play on a new Goldie release….in 2017. Even moreso when you realize the sounds coming out of your listening device are very much Goldie despite the lengthy (Nineteen years!) break of releasing an album of all original material.

Peter Murphy Strips Down Live On Latest Album Bare-Boned And Sacred

22 March 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

Live albums either suck or they don’t. There’s no gray area here. Your album either manages to truly capture that live energy, those different/updated versions of classics, and gives fans a sense of what it’s like to witness the performance in person (Or live it over and over again for someone who’s experienced it) or your album showcases cookie cutter versions of the songs with generic banter and crowd noise interspersed throughout the recording. End of story. [Read more…]

IAMX Achieve Synthetic Bliss On Metanoia

6 October 2015 By jesse Leave a Comment

7823880993

Miles beyond what The Unified Field presented to the collected IAMX masses, Metanoia is a bleak, dark album fueled by mastermind Chris Corner’s bout with chronic insomnia and a severe locale change (Berlin to Los Angeles) making this, his sixth album as IAMX, probably the most incredible of all.
