The Green Kingdom ~ Expanses

Black to Comm ~ Providence
What could be cuter than a little girl with a turtle? Hold on – what is she doing with that turtle? Is she caressing it or squeezing it? Her intentions do not look good. And that’s why she makes a

Kemialliset Ystävät ~ Alas Rattoisaa Virtaa
Seldom have I written a review to counter another review. This is that rare case. Another music journal recently slammed Kemialliset Ystävät‘s latest album, while I think it’s the Finnish collective’s best effort to date. That review criticized Alas Rattoisaa Virtaa for
