Big name connections are a double-edged sword; the associations can increase one’s success, or cause one to be judged by comparison.  The future of Illuminine will rise or fall on what one makes of these connections, as they are front and

Austin Glover & Eric Perreault ~ Freight 1110 Through Greensboro

How much of the Andrew Weathers Ensemble is Andrew Weathers, and how much is the ensemble?  As Austin Glover and Eric Perreault step out on their debut release, one can begin to discern the differences.  The harmonies and Petrels-like drones of

Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek ~ Whorls

Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek‘s third collaboration is also their first in four years.  The gap in time is clearly responsible for a shift in sound.  Whorls is as dynamic and exciting as Patina was soft and calm.  When the latter was released in 2011,

R. Weis ~ Parrot & Paperback

Few recordings are truly one of a kind.  We’d place Pawn’s Kitchen in this category, as well as One and Seven Eighth’s Modern Camping Songs.  Now joining this elite group is the latest EP from R. Weis, who over the past three decades has

Roped Off ~ Is Waiting For Your Challenge!!

Get ready…fight! Okay, so that might’ve been pulled straight from Dead Or Alive, but Punch Out!! isn’t a million miles away. 1983 was the year, and now, in 2015, it looks like it’s returned to the ring for one more challenge. The classic

Disasterpeace ~ It Follows

It doesn’t think.  It doesn’t feel.  It doesn’t give up.  It follows.  The trailer taglines are simple, reflecting an effectively streamlined concept.  The soundtrack is similarly methodical, continuing to follow even after one has turned the music off.  Wherever you

Lightning Bolt ~ Fantasy Empire

Lightning Bolt have returned with one of their best albums yet, a pop-surrealist force that revels in the broken, expansive conquest of any and all space by hyperactive imaginations. Delivered by means of a different kind of punk than before
