Brock Davis’ latest record is deeply aware of impermanence, but it isn’t obsessed with doom or mortality-as-spectacle. Instead, it feels like the sound of someone […]

There’s a certain confidence that comes with looseness. Not the careless kind, but the kind that comes from knowing your instincts are sharp enough to trust. Douby, the debut album from DJ SoulChild AC, lives squarely in that space. It’s an album that doesn’t beg to be decoded track-by-track in a rigid order. Instead, it

There’s something deeply dramatic about two former post-punk musicians from Glasgow reconnecting after decades apart and deciding, instead of quietly reminiscing about “the old days,” to make an album about surviving modern existence. It’s either the beginning of a midlife crisis or the start of something genuinely moving and on Survival, the debut album from

There’s a very specific kind of emotional pressure that builds when you’ve been “almost” doing the thing for years. Almost putting your own band first. Almost saying what you actually mean. Almost stepping out from behind other projects, other stages, other people’s spotlights. Eventually that pressure needs somewhere to go. That somewhere, in this case,

There’s something uniquely modern about getting your music pulled from streaming because of a producer dispute and responding not with a vague Instagram Story but with, essentially, “Fine. I’ll do it myself.” That’s the energy powering the self-titled EP from TRXPSCO, a project born out of frustration, stubbornness and a crash course in DIY beat-making.
I’m just going to straight out say it. Classical music is not my jam. I’m not that immersed in the culture, thus giving myself the nickname of the “alternative guy,” but Michelle Lynne’s album, ‘One Step at A Time’, proved otherwise. Let me discuss this in depth and read why Michelle Lynne will be a
