Pre-show Chat with Pretty & Nice
I was recently hanging out with Pretty & Nice before their show at Flicker Bar in Athens, GA. And because I love you guys, I recorded our conversation. Go ahead and listen to us talk about their current album, their awesome merch, and their future plans. And then go ahead and listen to their newest…
REVIEW: David Lynch and Lykke Li’s “I’m Waiting Here”
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…
On the Lawn with pacificUV
We met up with pacificUV before their show at the 40 Watt in Athens, GA. Looking for a quiet place to interview, we ended up crashing the lawn of a frat house to talk about their new album, The Album Leaf remix, and upcoming tour. Enjoy!
REVIEW: Heard In The Mountains’ Will To Well
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
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…
In the Dark with Ryan Graveface
So I saw The Casket Girls at South by Southwest, and I kicked myself for not getting into them beforehand so that I could interview them there (dudes, you should see this band live. It’s quite an experience). Lucky for me, it wasn’t even two months later that they showed up in Athens to play…
REVIEW: Lemuria’s “Oahu, Hawaii”
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
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…
The Front Bottoms release ‘Talon of the Hawk’
It’s here. It’s happened. The Front Bottoms have released their second album, Talon of the Hawk, TODAY! So no one try to contact me the rest of the day. I’ll be too busy listening to this over and over. And over. Join me.
What We Know About Season Four of Arrested Development
After about six and a half years of waiting, the Bluths could have had us thinking they’d never come back for us— but that’s why you always leave a note. Thankfully, they left us a few. Here are the ones we’ve gathered at Vinyl Mag: 1. From the trailer, it looks like… Michael is moving,…
