Never got into the British band Daughter when they came out in 2013. Three years later and I just stumbled into listening to their second album Not to Disappear which came out on January 15, 2016. I don’t think this is a folk album more of an alternative electro-pop album. Think of this as if …
I didn’t know who Pete Astor is, so I went to Wikipedia and looked him up. Pete is a British songwriter and solo artist, also known for his work with The Loft, The Weather Prophets, The Wisdom of Harry and Ellis Island Sound. Not until I read that he recorded Spilt Milk with James Hoare of …
It’s been three years since Montreal’s Reversing Falls released an album. Now it’s 2016 and they finally dropped their second album simply called Reversing Falls 2. Nine tracks of simply fuzz-rock pop reminisced from the 1990s. Distorted vocals and straight-up guitar, bass and drum! While I don’t go into the whole lyrical aspect of each …
So I get this email from Sean Adams from Drowned in Sound/CCCLX. He recommended The Anchoress‘ Confessions of a Romance Novelist. Listening to the whole album is cross between Lana Del Rey (without the depressing dreary music), Florence + The Machine and Kate Bush. A unique artsy orchestral pop, operatic vocals and lyrical music. Best …
Ohbijou was my favorite Canadian to come out around the mid-2000s. I thought of them as the female equivalent to The Acorn. In 2013, the band announced their indefinite hiatus which left a big hole for the Canadian music scene. Now in 2016, Casey Mecija who fronted the band has branched out with her first …
HELLO… IT’S ME which seems to be the current catchphrase on Adele‘s mega hit song. So I decided to write up this review for the anticipated third album by Adele. I took my time to listen to it and not do like a half-ass job/premature write up. Since it won’t make any difference if anyone …
When an act decides to release two albums in the same year, will they be overexposed? I don’t think that is the case for Beach House. In August, they just released their fifth album Depression Cherry and in October their sixth album Thank Your Lucky Stars. Depression Cherry had more of that uplifting dreamy pop …
On November 6, 2015,Grime‘s long awaited 4th album “Art Angels” dropped. Overall Art Angels is full of fun polished electro-pop dance album. Gone is the whole DIY esthetic vibe from her first three albums. Still a fine album to be entertained while it won’t make big headwaves like Adele. One big surprise is REALiTi has …
This should be under: “Why did I not check out this album before?”. I happened to buy this album from now the defunct Mammoth Cave Recording Co on the weekend because there was some buzz/murmurs surrounding it when it came out in 2014. I’m talking about Calgary’s Teledrome‘s self-titled album. This is an album I …
It’s been almost a month since this album has been released (Reason why it’s late just read on the bottom). Beach House released their fifth album Depression Cherry. For those living under a rock, the Baltimore duo makes pretty lovely and beautiful dream pop music and is on the legendary Sub Pop label. The band …
