2016 was regarded as a fairly rough year by many, but 2017 was no walk in the park either. 2016 was mired by the deaths of several beloved musical icons (David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, and Sharon Jones among them) and the disappointing and divisive Presidential election, but in 2017 we had to deal with the ramifications of said election (we’d say that roughly 95% of the musicians we interview likely don’t support many, if any, of President Trump’s policies).

Sep 15, 2017 By Christopher Roberts

Okay, okay. Since starting our Songs of the Week posts, we’ve slowly increased from having five songs, then six songs, then seven songs, then eight songs, and then for the last couple of weeks, nine songs. We think it’s time to just settle on an even Top 10. More

Sep 11, 2017 By Christopher Roberts

The Horrors are releasing their fifth album, the fittingly titled V, on September 22 via Wolftone/Caroline. Previously they shared its first single “Machine,” as well as a video for “Machine,” which was followed by the album’s expansive six-minute long closing track, “Something to Remember Me By” (which had euphoric electronic overtones and was our #1 Song of the Week). Now they have shared another song from the album, the almost as expansive (it’s also over six minutes long), but not as dance-y “Weighed Down.” More

Aug 11, 2017 By Christopher Roberts

This week we’re either on the brink of war with North Korea or not really that close, depending on which cable TV talking head you listen to and how much you trust President Trump to keep his cool (oh, oh, we’re in trouble then). So while we are still clear of the nuclear blast zone (for now), let’s soak up the past week’s best new tunes. More

Aug 09, 2017 By Christopher Roberts

There are plenty of bands touring this fall but two of the scariest are L.A.‘s noise-mongers HEALTH and Southend, England’s garage-goth mavens The Horrors.

The Green Man Festival has, in the 10 years since its inception, evolved from a one-day, 300-capacity campfire folk show into a week-long, eclectic event playing home to some 22,000 guests. Amongst British festival-goers it has a reputation as one of the summer’s highlights and is spoken of as being a world away from the laddish, lager lout-infested, drug-peddling havens that make up the larger part of the Brit festival circuit.

On their third album, Skying, The Horrors have completely shed all the goth trappings that originally defined them. While their sophomore album, Primary Colours, was a bold step out of the gloom with its shoegaze textures and Krautrock rhythms, Skying sounds like an entirely different band. More

The opening night’s observation that I was about to slip down the rabbit hole turned out to be apt. After a restless night of sleep (Hello jetlag!), I was bundled into a car and taken deep into a rain covered forest. I’m from Los Angeles. This setting? Well…welcome to Wonderland. Today’s residents? Potty Umbrella, Tin Pan Alley, Kim Nowak, Something Like Elvis, The Horrors, Art Brut, Lenny Valentino, and Tindersticks. More
