Plesiosaur~ ~ Falling

With Jurassic World all the rage this summer, it seems like a good time to be named plesiosaur~, even with the tilde.  When last we encountered Tonesucker’s Steve Elsey, he was in mourning; this time, he’s stretching his wings and flying to

Sundaug ~ Nocturnality

The guitar is the love of many a life, including my own. Her beauty is beyond doubt, but the dogged question that rears its head is this: what else can she conjure up? What else does the well of originality

Apologies ~ A Disgrace to Modern Science

If you’re driving somewhere exciting (a date, a party, a sporting event) and are only twenty minutes away from your destination, pop this in the player and let it rip.  A Disgrace to Modern Science is a pure psychedelic rock jam

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
