Picking up on this gem that slipped out in 2016, but still remains available in double LP glory. Paul Marcano and his band LightDreams had one full album (as simply LightDreams) in…
While the majority of members from celebrated Canadian indie darlings Women went on to the similarly hued and well-reviewed Preoccupations (or Viet Cong if you’re nasty) frontman Patrick Flegel has taken his…
Admittedly, I dug the first single from Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s upcoming Sex & Food, it broke with some of the expectations that were hanging in the air after the success of Multi-Love…
OK I told myself I wasn’t going to gush about Cable Ties again but, c’mon, the band are back with a great new single inspired by their work with the Girls Rock…
