REVIEW: Forecastle Festival Day One

Posted on July 22, 2013October 8, 2013 by Jacklyn Citero

After taking a seven-hour trek and making it through the cluster of endless lines of eager festival goers, we were finally greeted by Louisville’s 85-acre Waterfront Park overlooking the Ohio River. With a lineup including headliners The Black Keys, The String Cheese Incident, The Avett Brothers, and Robert Plant, Forecastle Festival seemed to have something…

REVIEW: of Montreal premiere first single off new album

Posted on July 10, 2013October 8, 2013 by Kate Foster

of Montreal is the kind of band that wanders in and out of its time. At the height of fame for Kevin Barnes and crew, around the Hissing Fauna era, their sound was modern and fresh. By Paralytic Stalks, the band propelled into the future, prompting the loss of a few unprepared fans. With the…

REVIEW: Look Alive’s ‘Mistakes and Milestones’

Posted on June 25, 2013October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Look Alive, an up-and-coming band straight out of Atlanta, Georgia, is kind of like a manifestation of all of your favorite pop-punk bands from 2004. Intrigued? Well, rightfully so. These guys have been at it in some form or fashion for over 10 years now, and now the time has come for them to release…

REVIEW: David Lynch and Lykke Li’s “I’m Waiting Here”

Posted on June 12, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

Two years since David Lynch’s “Pinky’s Dream,” the release of his upcoming album, The Big Dream, is creeping along quite nicely, with Lykke Li’s whispered hint of a far sexier and more surreal theme of an album that may indeed be much bigger and better than its predecessor. “I’m Waiting Here,” the Lykke Li/David Lynch…

REVIEW: Heard In The Mountains’ Will To Well

Posted on May 28, 2013October 9, 2013 by Kate Foster

In 2011, Vancouver-based band Heard In The Mountains got together and began shattering the windows of a local church – metaphorically speaking, that is. As their casual jam sessions began to morph into the beginnings of an actual band, their sound transformed into a rock-meets-pop-meets-indie powerhouse, and frankly, we’re surprised they didn’t blow that church’s…

REVIEW: “Palm Reader” by Sonny and the Sunsets

Posted on May 27, 2013October 9, 2013 by Grafton Tanner

Sonny and the Sunsets’ follow-up to Longtime Companion is entitled Antenna to the Afterworld, and like many indie artists to go before them, Sonny Smith and his band are ripe to tackle death and its aftermath.  The band suffered the loss of a close friend, and that tragic experience has led them produce songs like…

REVIEW: Lemuria’s “Oahu, Hawaii”

Posted on May 21, 2013November 12, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Buffalo, New York’s own Lemuria is dropping their newest album The Distance Is So Big on June 18th, but prefacing that date, they have decided to release a few sneak-peaks from the album- the most recent being “Oahu, Hawaii”. Upon pressing play, I noticed Lemuria had strayed from the norm in certain aspects, but in…

REVIEW: September Call-Up’s Air And My Sleep

Posted on May 21, 2013October 9, 2013 by Kate Foster

Christian Bitto, singer of the September Call-Up, is a lot like Leonardo da Vinci. How, you might ask? Quite simply, Bitto is a Renaissance Man of vocals, a jack-of-all-moods, you might say. From first track to last on his album with drummer Jesse Gimbel, Air And My Sleep, Bitto switches constantly and effortlessly from a…

REVIEW: Valaska’s Natural Habitat

Posted on May 7, 2013October 9, 2013 by Kate Foster

With the warm, lazy summer months ahead, what could be better than a pensive indie album with fantastic acoustic instrumentals? Enter Valaska’s new album, Natural Habitat. The brain-child of Chicago native Dave Valdez, this record will uplift you with its often cheery acoustic guitar, then force you into a state of reflection with its unabashedly…

SHOW REVIEW: Crystal Castles at the Tabernacle

Posted on April 18, 2013October 9, 2013 by Kate Foster

A threesome of musicians swarmed the Tabernacle stage, awash in black, taking their places before a massive, eerie depiction of a cloaked figure embracing a naked human form. The waifish, platinum blonde front woman, Alice Glass, took a drag from her cigarette as the heavy beats reverberated around the room. Crystal Castles provided an incredibly…
