Stream: Sauna Youth – Transmitters
Just like Dr. Who‘s Sea Devils, Sauna Youth invaded a sunny beach resort in the south of England. Brighton, to be less obtuse (I refuse to remove my anorak.) Starting out in 2009, Sauna Youth are punks all the way through, releasing a début album called Dreamlands back in 2012 (available on Faux Discx/Gringo Records) while still…

Stream: Emma Swift – Follow your money
I think it’s clear we love the alt-country//sadcore music created by the always nifty Emma Swift. No, really, we have been very clear. She released a single with that legend we know as Robyn Hitchcock for Record Store Day 2015 and we can’t think of anything better for this Wednesday than to listen to this…

Short Story: Pulcata Romero
It’s another quiet Friday at Pulcata Romero. Once the great pride and joy of Los Remedios, Pulcata Romero saw its decline after the turbulent 1960s. The constant presence of criminal and ne’er-do-wells, the “quaint” factor of its gaudy decor and the terrible fame brought by films and tv were factors on its decline. Even so,…

Review: Pree – Rima
For years and years, we keep hearing the term “summer album” as a general catch-all for albums with breezy moods and ever-so-dreamy vocals. I’d hate to tag Pree‘s Rima with such an unimaginative tag because their music is everything but. Take for example ‘Hooks & Eyes’, a tour de force performance where Pree integrate both…

Stream: For Esmé – You
‘You’ is the brand new single from Toronto’s artpoppers For Esmé, a trio creating delectable kaleidoscopes of electronic beats to decor a lovely pop bungalow. ‘You’ mixes an electropop base with a coquettish guitar that times its visits just right, man. Sugar, their upcoming album, is out later this year, but y’all more than…

Review (sort of): Game of Thrones – Kill the Boy
Whew! It’s been a while, I skipped reviewing the past episodes not only because I was saving the world from Salamander aliens that were led by a curiously strange looking Jane Badler, but also because I had writer’s block. Or is it writers’ block? If it were writer’s block, it would mean only ONE writer…

Stream: Firesuite – Edge of the Earth
Sheffield‘s Firesuite have been steadfastly providing spacey shoegaze/post hardcore music for a few years now and we’ve been eagerly waiting for new material. So we are pretty happy to bring you the brand new Firesuite single, ‘Edge of the Earth’, from their upcoming album, Outlive your body, which drops later this year. ‘Edge of the…

Review: My Morning Jacket – The Waterfall
There are two different ways to approach My Morning Jacket: threading slowly or just jump in and pray for the best. This applies to water bodies too and curiously enough, this album is called The Waterfall. Once again, My Morning Jacket‘s musical style changes, spiraling from Jim James‘ sweet crooning. Whereas Evil Urges loved schizophrenic 70s…

Short Story: The Hum at Miramar
“Wake up” the voice says while I hear a motor idle. It’s very hot and humid. I can smell the salty breeze and hear the white noise of the waves crashing, creating surf. My eyes hurt from the sun and she passes me the imitation wayfarers. I thank her and she half climbs the seat.…
