BLK VINTAGE: THE REPRISE (LP)

BLK ODYSSY
A musical force that disrupts an ocean of calm to stand firm in it's unapologetically black soundscapes. straight from the soul, nodding to the likes of Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo, with occasional guidance from Parliament-Funkadelic legend George Clinton himself, BLK VINTAGE delivers a beautifully tragic, yet rich vibe to immerse yourself. this record turns pain to power and prowess.

CHAOS NOW* (Other)

Jean Dawson
It's punk, it's alternative, it's hip hop, it's a whirlpool of sonic influences that ultimately can't be categorized because that would do it no justice. some riffs make me wanna punch some foos in a moshpit, others make me wanna be introspective and cry in a ball on the floor. with sounds so vivid and raw, remind yourself to unclench your jaw and catch a vibe from time to time.

This Is Why (LP)

Paramore
Paramore at their absolute best. We hear funk, emo, alternative, excellent vocals, and everything has it's pocket, and that pocket is deep. It'll hug you and hold you while you digest the fullness of it's rich instrumentation and songwriting. Worth the wait fashooo. Read more

The Yussef Dayes Experience Live at Joshua Tree (LP)

Yussef Dayes
Yussef Dayes is a mastermind musician and drummer, seemingly incapable of delivering anything less than perfection. this man don't miss bruh. Every song is like a freehand brushstroke, carefully crafting a musical masterpiece that lingers gently on the ears, tickles the brain, and settles itself in your heart and body. whether you dance, sit, create or watch your music, you will leave this album with a new appreciation for groove.

Supernova (CD)

Nova Twins
The most sonically creative metal duo I've lent my ear to in a long time. Very high energy, riffs and drums that make me stomp and jump, this ain't a phase, mom...It's a takeover. Keep your mind and ears open, and brace for impact. Read more

Katalyst JID013 (CD)

Katalyst
Katalyst never fails to deliver a sound that simultaneously brings us to the future, and creates a nostalgia for a time in music where the instrumentation speaks pure soul. Always a pleasant listen, not a single skippable song. Let it flow through you. Read more

Raven

Kelela

Fantastic second from Kelela that gets better with each listen. She will take you back to the fun days of smooth 90s dance and r&b.

Love As Projection

Frankie Rose

Always happy to have Frankie Rose back in my life. More catchy indie synth pop.

Electrified (Best Of 2009-2022) (LP)

The Liminanas
Heard this French band for the first time last year, and was blown away...sorta Stereolab meets Gainsbourg meets film noir...buzzed, big droning riffs & cool ye-ye style Gallic vox...to start, check out "Je Suis Une Go-Go Girl" & "Salvation"...this 2LP comp is the perfect intro to this killer band! Read more

The Instrumentals (LP)

La Luz
This is a Ltd. Ed. instro edition of their 2021 eponymous LP, but for me it was the intro to their seductive ESG meets Look Blue Go Purple sound...Shana Cleveland is the main songwriter in this all-woman band that's been around since 2013...check this out, and then I reckon "Weirdo Shrine" is the best of their 5 LPs! Read more

Needles & Plastic (Book)

Matthew Goody
Courtesy of Third Man Books, Needles and Plastic tells the inside story of one of New Zealand's - and the world's - great independent music labels, Flying Nun Records, focussing on every release in their early years (1981-'88). With enthusiasm but a total lack of business chops, label boss Roger Shepherd managed to create enduring art from bands such as The Clean, The Chills, Tall Dwarfs, and many more...the section on how The Fall's live album "Fall In A Hole" nearly bankrupted the label is classic! Read more

The Philosophy Of Modern Song (Book)

Bob Dylan
This book is...bizarre! A stream of consciousness dive into a series of songs, some of which are predictable but a lot that aren't (The Eagles' "Witchy Woman"?), interspersed with recollections and random observations...spontaneous combustion or train wreck? Maybe both... Read more

Blue Rev (LP)

Alvvays
The definition of a slow burner..."Blue Rev" took at least 3 listens before I "got" this record...but now songs like "Easy On Your Own" & "Velveteen" sound to me like songs I've been listening to for years... Read more

Oddisee's 2013 release The Beauty in All deserves another spin. Out now on white vinyl and opaque purple vinyl, this instrumental LP's title sums it up: you could easily soundtrack your day with any of these selections and get a 200% boost in your mood. The tracks radiate old-school soulfulness, whether Oddisee is trafficking in retro-futurism or taking it back to the eternally cool era of classic funk. The Beauty in All is cinematic, gorgeous, and brilliantly alive.

Don't Worry Darling (BLU)

Olivia Wilde

There was a whole lot of hoopla, trash talk and baggage that preceded the release of this film. I feel it was unfair [After all how many darling male directors had sexual relations with the starlets to “push” the performance of the acting or whatever and yet their films were taken very seriously/praised] and over shadowed a good film with good acting from all. Truly a chilling film and worth your time to watch.

Celestial Rot (LP)

All Out War

These New Yorkers weave a ferocious blend of metal and hardcore that is sure to satisfy ya.

Helionomicon (LP)

Ulthar

Two tracks, twenty minutes each, of insanely great metal with a reverence of all things Lovecraft.

Anthronomicon (LP)

Ulthar

This is part two / a companion piece to Helionomicon. It is insane just how much talent is in this band and just how much both these albums rule. I find new dimensions and journeys upon repeated visits to both albums. I am blown away with the twist and turns, the avant garde riffs and multi directionality these two release have. Already in my best of year list.

Until Your Heart Stops (LP)

Cave In

I will not rewrite what I already have about Cave In and just how much their music means to me. But, when this album came out it changed my life and the way I heard music. I am so very happy to see this get reissued and available again on LP.  Also available as a deluxe version with many previously unissued tracks. Highly recommend.

Damed (LP)

Crawl

The negative energy just oozes from this release. This album definitely has a foot steeped in the hopelessness of black metal and experimental doom while not being exactly ether.
