• 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…

  • 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.…

  • Review: EP Island – Aston’ish

    I think one of the greatest incentives a creative mind (!) can have is pressure. It is only when one’s back is against the wall that the fight or flight, or in this case, create or yield, kick jolts the internal muse. EP Island‘s frantic way of working seems to yield good results for their…
