Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest

By • Mar 8th, 2009 • Category: Music Reviews

Ever since I heard Grizzly Bear’s breakthrough album “Yellow House” I was hooked. With that being said I’ll try to leave this as unbiased as possible. “Veckatimest”, pronounced “Veck” “Ah” “Tim” “Est”, seems to cover many era’s of music without losing the Grizzly Bear style. The style being considered, first and foremost, the vocal layering [...]

Le Loup – The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millenium General Assembly

By • Feb 4th, 2009 • Category: Folk, Music Reviews

For a moment just look past the ridiculously long album title…now I ask you have you ever felt like your missing something? I have, but Le Loup has finally been able to somehow fill that void. This album was placed on “Best of ’07″ lists by a multitude of websites, and I can’t say it doesn’t deserve [...]

Andrew Bird, the whistling master, is back with a brand new album. I’ll start blunt…not much change here. If you’ve heard…any…Andrew Bird album, then you have heard this album. Now that’s out of the way and we can start with the good. Well I’ve always been a fan of Andrew Bird. (Surprised?! I know…) This [...]



Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion

By • Jan 22nd, 2009 • Category: Featured Review, Indie

I’ve only recently gotten into Animal Collective, so I decided to try out their newest album and start backwards. Merriweather Post Pavilion is a good LP, simply because it catches your attention very quickly. I can see this album being on MANY top ten lists.

By • Jan 14th, 2009 • Category: Metal

The only people I’ve met who have heard this band, are the hardcore fans. You’ve either heard this band or you haven’t. Harvey Milk hails from Athens, GA…the spawning grounds for many popular artists like R.E.M. and the B-52′s. With the history of Athens behind them you think that a band who has been around [...]



Tortoise – TNT

By • Jan 13th, 2009 • Category: Post-Rock

Tortoise, in my opinion, is one of the most influential post-rock bands to be around today. Hailing from Chicago, they gained notoriety with their ’96 release “Millions Now Living Will Never Die”. That release took over the post-rock scene making many people’s top year-end lists. Their latest actual release “It’s All Around You” is just [...]



Bon Iver – Blood Bank

By • Dec 16th, 2008 • Category: Folk

Bon Iver’s debut LP “For Emma, Forever Ago” was, simply stated, fantastic. Justin Vernon’s voice was a rich melody of passion, mix that with the soft guitar and the album created a atmosphere so surreal you almost felt like you were in the cabin with Vernon during the making of the album. “Blood Bank”, although [...]
