Track Premiere: Michael Flynn – “Professional Network”

Posted on April 20, 2018April 20, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Oh man, how many notifications do I have right now? There’s at least 300 for Whats-App on my phone at any given time. I can’t imagine how many LinkedIn notifications songwriting folkster Michael Flynn (formerly of Slow Runner) must have gotten to inspire this song: “I wrote this song from beneath a giant pile of LinkedIn invitations. …

Track Premiere: Saw Black – “Mama Knows”

Posted on April 18, 2018May 14, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Are you feeling comfortable right now? Wrapping up in a blanket might be the best move for listening to this one. Richmond, VA folk artist Saw Black’s new single “Mama Knows” is so pillowy and lush, that anything less than your coziest outfit will seem out of place once you press play. While his voice never…

The Voidz: ‘Virtue’

Posted on March 30, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

How does Julian Casablancas want to be remembered? It’s been 17 years since the release of The Strokes‘ Is This It, and I think Julian is finally a little tired of being a Stroke. I never thought that I could have typed this sentence, but I also didn’t ever expect to be this taken aback by a new VOIDZ album. I…

Preoccupations: ‘New Material’

Posted on March 23, 2018March 24, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Have you ever been to a rave? No, like a real one. I’m talking about the kind that would be in warehouses, bunkers, or maybe even condemned buildings. What if the new generation of post punk kids all decided to throw a new kind of rave together in that fashion? New Material by Preoccupations asks this question. Are they having…

Artist to Watch: Molly Burch

Posted on March 20, 2018March 19, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Like a well-maintained and beautifully hand carved wooden sculpture, Molly Burch’s music has a sort of softly natural, matte glow to it. Influenced by the music of her childhood spent growing up in LA, her early country influenced songwriting and equally paisley patterned arrangements have caught the ear of record labels, including Captured Tracks (who…

Nap Eyes: ‘ I’m Bad Now ‘

Posted on March 9, 2018March 10, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Upon first listen, Nova Scotia, Canada natives Nap Eyes‘ I’m Bad Now felt like nothing but a snarky stoner’s revelry. Too zonked or tired out to outgrow the comfortable Loaded era Velvet Underground,  Nashville or SoCal instrumental trappings, the album on first listen quite frankly felt very flat. Oh, how wrong I was. Like an unglazed clay pot…

Camp Cope: ‘How to Socialise and Make Friends’

Posted on March 2, 2018March 8, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Let me get one thing out of the way: Camp Cope are not fucking around. The moment singer/guitarist Georgia “Maq” McDonald lets loose the first lyrics of the How to Socialise and Make Friends, all bets are off that this is going to be an easy listen. Don’t get me wrong, the instrumentation on the…
