There are times when I stumble onto recordings that contain certain elements borrowed from my favorite musicians, all packaged in a cohesive whole. The latest EP from a Polish industrial metal band Whalesong is an example of just that. The first side of the EP starts off with huge chunks

Since White Denim’s fantastic and criminally underappreciated 2018 release “Performance” I’ve considered myself a pretty massive fan of the band’s music, even if I was late to the party. These guys have an invigorating blend of swirling, electrifying Psychedelia experimentation and accessible, chorus-heavy Classic Rock revival jams that I haven’t

I could quite easily write a lengthy love letter to the band In Flames that would span far too many pages to reasonably count. These guys are legends and pioneers that have absolutely earned their right to be Metal mainstays with all the fantastic Melodic Death Metal gems in their

The member of the revolutionary industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle is back with a new musical endeavor. Cosey Fanni Tutti hasn’t released a solo effort in a long while, but she has been busy in various musical outfits with her husband Chris Carter (also of Throbbing Gristle), as well as authoring

The solo material of Noah Lennox, more commonly known under his moniker “Panda Bear”, is something I’m entirely new to, and went into with very little preconceived notions aside from what I’ve heard of Noah’s critical darling of a band, “Animal Collective”. What I got out of his newest release
