Snow Palms ~ Land Waves

Last year we reviewed Everything Ascending, a double-sided EP from the rejuvenated Snow Palms, our first sampling of the act as an official duo (and an unofficial quartet).  The title track is included on Land Waves, but a pleasant surprise is that

Phoria ~ Caught a Black Rabbit

From 2010-16, Phoria released a handful of electronically-minded, lyric-based EPs and one LP, then went quiet for four years, only to emerge as a modern composition ensemble.  Whenever a band switches from the vocal to the instrumental, we feel like they’ve been
