Justin Small (Do Make Say Think) ~ Subscription Series
If one of your favorite bands released four albums in a year, would you buy them? This may be the best way to promote Justin Small‘s new subscription series: a track a week, a dollar a week, for one year. For

Liberez ~ All Tense Now Lax
How good is Liberez‘ third album? So good that we requested to review it, instead of the other way around ~ a rare occurrence for our site. Liberez is the brainchild of John Hannon, but he’s not alone in this

Haiku Salut ~ Etch and Etch Deep
The midpoint of the year is the perfect time for summer music ~ sets whose sounds evoke holidays, carnivals, fireworks and marching bands. Etch and Etch Deep fits the bill, and seems tailor-made for picnics in the park. Earlier this year,

Kyle Fosburgh ~ One Night
One Night is the sound of America. Many of her states are home to the traditional, permanent sound of the guitar. The instrument seemingly transcends the decades, passing through the 1900’s and into the next century. This isn’t the sound of dry sepia,

Spurv ~ Skarntyde
Norwegian post-rock band Spurv (Sparrow) admits that “four songs in 45 minutes isn’t the average everyday radio music.” But it is what fans hope to encounter in post-rock: make-or-break, risk-taking ventures that soothe and stir in equal measure. Skarntyde (Danish for “hemlock”) is no suicide

Busto Power Trio ~ The Deal Act 2
Only two types of bands are bold enough to start an EP with the sound of fans yelling, “Boo! You suck!”: bands confident enough to know they don’t suck, and bands that suck so bad they wear it as a badge of

I Will Kill Chita ~ Evil Bear Boris
Many post-rock bands incorporate strings and horns in their setup, but few make these a central part of their compositions. Fewer still incorporate an entire mini-orchestra. This is what sets Moscow’s I Will Kill Chita apart from the pack. On Evil Bear Boris, it’s

Solkyri ~ Sad Boys Club
Handclaps may be simple, but they can communicate a great deal. They are seldom less than happy; they can keep a beat or reward an artist at the end of a concert. On “Yes, I’m Breathing,” the opening handclaps are
