  • Review: Nevoa – The Absence of Void

    I have my own taste in Metal music that tends to limit what I might listen to, and one of the big ones is a dislike of vocals that aren’t “clean”. That would arguably prejudice me against two-man band Nevoa‘s début album The Absence of Void because their primary vocal style comes straight from classic…

  • Stream: Sundiver – Caravelle/Discoverer

    As announced recently, Sundiver‘s magic bag of spacerock tricks is ready to burst. ‘Caravelle’ taps into an endless source of energy, cycling through raw emotions. It builds up a comedown that shakes wistfulness away with great acumen. Whereas ‘Caravelle’ goes for the slow build, ‘Discoverer’ is a straight rocker. Sharp, lean and right on target. Two masterful  hors-d’oeuvres to…

  • Interview – Sundiver

    Sundiver are a fantastic space rock band from Kansas City. If you need a stronger and verbose argument than the previous sentence, we’ve got your back with this here review. Anyways, we got in touch with the band to have a little chat (via email) and here’s the conversation in full: 1.- For those of…

  • Review: Actual Wolf – Itasca

      A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of talking with Eric Pollard, aka Actual Wolf. It was a lovely conversation and we mostly geeked about coffee, music and his new album, Itasca.  A sort of love letter to home and childhood, Itasca is made up of 9 songs. Although much of it is quiet in comparison to the thunderous…

  • Podcast: Eight songs with Vast Robot Armies

    Been meaning to bring back this feature, a podcast where I go one on one with a musician and ask him to choose 8 songs that have influenced his or her life. I was pretty happy to do so once I managed to wrangle Vast Robot Armies’ Jason Thomson to talk about The Beatles, Supertramp, Shiner, Jawbox…
