Alice Boman: “Waiting”

Grip my arms, look me in the eye, hold your pose. Feel my breath, don’t flinch when the heat hits your lips. I want to stand like this until we can’t stand any longer. I want us as one.

[MP3] Inspired and the Sleep: “Take Pills (Instructed Bliss)”

Max is bax. Check out his latest single, “Take Pills (Instructed Bliss)” the third off of the forthcoming album, Teenager. It was created, according to Greenhalgh, through “a series of live recorded percussion loops, a drum machine setting from my toy Casio keyboard, flute, uke, and bass.” The single is brought to us […]

[MP3] Inspired and the Sleep: “While We’re Young”

Inspired and the Sleep is the musical project of Max Greenhalgh. The San Diego kid recorded a solo album under this moniker over the summer, titled Teenager (does anyone sense a theme??). His songs are made up of live loops and melodies, akin to Yellow Ostrich.

The first single off the album is […]

Ivory Weeds

As I’m sure is the case for many of you, the music I listen to is dictated by my mood. So if you’ve been finding more subdued music here lately, you can equate that with how I’m feeling. Knox Road is here to show you everything we enjoy, as music fans and listeners, […]

IKE.

Weird grammar notwithstanding, the kids behind Pittsburgh experimental quartet, IKE., (including RIVKA‘s Reggie Wilkins) know what they’re doing. Oftentimes it’s difficult to tell when a band is actually having fun making music, but with IKE. it’s apparent from the very start; I can see them smiling through my speakers.

IKE.’s sound is sincere to […]

Magic City

It’s time to break the bad news to Best Coast.

Ok, here goes.

Best Coast, there is a band in Chicago that does your sound better than you.

Don’t get me wrong, you guys are great. You’ve got an excellent vocalist, great songs, the whole package. The fact is, Chicago duo Magic City […]

[MP3] Beat Radio: “Beautiful One”

Brian and co. seem to do no wrong, especially with their newest song, “Beautiful One,” which is an actually an old song with a new arrangement. Ya dig?

“Beautiful One” is super lo-fi catchy all the way around; Sendrowitz is able to make his songs wonderfully poppy, yet, with their scratchy qualities, appealing […]

The Pear Traps

So, I’ve had to listen to my fair share of lo-fi over the past few years or so as I’ve become a music “blogger” and the scene has changed to hype the bedroom rock stars. I used to really dislike the sound; why would I listen to such raspy music when I could […]

New eskimeaux

Welcome back, me! Sorry I’ve been gone a while on *gulp* “real-life” work.

I hate doing this (repeating earlier posts), but I feel I have no other option in this situation, as I’ve learned little else from eskimeaux. Except that Gabby and I have kept up a friendly email correspondence, even if I […]

Mrs. Magician

I’m just full of spooky shit these past few days! Who says Thanksgiving can’t be the next Halloween?? Lots of people, probably.

I’m not one of them. Plus, Mrs. Magician’s music isn’t that creepy when you actually listen to it. But if that album cover doesn’t scare you, then you scare me.

Anyway…Mrs. […]
