Feels like I haven’t included sugary pop here in a while; it’s been a lot of experimental and folk lately.

Colorfeels
If you’d have told me a year ago, a month ago, or even last week that I’d be writing about a band with an album called “Syzygy,” I’d have laughed in your face. Many bands like to thrive off either the most obscure, cryptic names or those that are incredibly simple, and I like to… Continue reading Colorfeels
[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 to even… Continue reading [MP3] Beat Radio: “Beautiful One”
Little Arrow

The clouds refuse to move today. Time stops for just this once, she writes. Just this once, she hopes. Her mother… Continue reading Little Arrow

Popular indie music has recently transformed into a “my stuff must be weirder than anything you’ve heard in your life for me to be cool” thought process. Well, you know who doesn’t fall into that fast-becoming quicksand? Fialta, a fun-loving… Continue reading Fialta
Lorena B
Music is kinda fun when you don’t know what half the sounds you’re listening to are. Welcome to my musical life, Lorena B. It also helps that they’re from Tel Aviv – Israel has a knack for progressive music. Lorena B just released their debut album, Siblings, on April 30 in Israel, produced by the band… Continue reading Lorena B
Phantom Kicks
San Fransisco’s Phantom Kicks create minimalist electro-pop, with shades of post-rock thrown in to even things out. Minimalist and post-rock in the same sound? I thought it was impossible once, too. But after listening to more and more “genrefied” music, the lines have been blended and barriers taken down. A picturesque sound is apparently what… Continue reading Phantom Kicks
