I’d hoped this news was on the way when Kikagaku Moyo announced their final tour. Today the band reveals the first dip into a new and, sadly, last, album from the band.…
The first dip into the new album from Flanger Magazine, the work of Louisville songwriter Christopher Bush, is a gorgeously serene bout of drone folk that slowly unravels over the course of…
Two albums on the site today that were born out of the last days of Black Dirt Studio, gotta love that. Cale’s latest album was recorded with Jason Meagher, a pivot from…
Happy to debut the first video from Turner Williams Jr. today. While Williams’ first studio LP under his own name, Briars On A Dewdrop, is on the way from Drowned Lands this…
Some great strides have been made to map out the story of Laddio Blocko (mem. Dazzling Killmen, Panicsville, the Psychic Paramount, and Mars Volta), the short-lived, but much loved NY shredders that…
