NEW MUSIC: Arbor Labor Union – Volume Peaks

Taken from their new LP I Hear You, out on Sub Pop, here’s Arbor Labor Union‘s clip for the single Volume Peaks. Tough, gritty, rolling guitar dirges that dig in and stretch out. They’re a mangled mess of post punk, post rock, indie rock and freewheeling’ jam band psych grooves. Dig it. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Arbor Labor Union – Volume Peaks

ALBUM REVIEW: Damien Jurado – Visions Of Us On The Land

This is the last in a trilogy of albums that Jurado has released with producer/collaborator Richard Swift and it’s as immersive, wide ranging and often fantastical as its predecessors. Swift again brings a lushness of production to Jurado’s folk songs. He adds the drama, the texture and the light psychedelia that washes over the 17 songs. The album completes the tale of an individual who … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Damien Jurado – Visions Of Us On The Land

ALBUM REVIEW: The Drones – Feelin Kinda Free

On The Drones last album, I See Seeweed (2013), there was a sense that the band had reached terminal velocity with their brand of dense, churning rock music and elegiac, snaking balladry. Where could they go from there without repeating the format they’d seemingly mastered? The answer is Feelin Kinda Free – the title alone signalling a breaking of the creative shackles. Between albums they also … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Drones – Feelin Kinda Free

NEW MUSIC: White Denim – Holda You (I’m Psycho)

Here’s a new slice of White Denim wigged-out greatness. Yet again they dive into crazy psych boogie, glam pop glitter rock of the highest order. Their new album Stiff came out last week via Downtown Records/Create Control. Recommended as an antidote to the bloodless beige rock and no-soul electronic pop music poisoning the airwaves. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: White Denim – Holda You (I’m Psycho)
