Tim Hecker – Virgins review

There’s already been a surprising amount of great electronic music released in 2013, and with the year wrapping up shortly, I’d like to bring up another release that stands out. Hailing from Vancouver, BC and taking his project to Montreal, Hecker has created a name for himself in the experimental music scene since his Imaginary Country release

Oneohtrix Point Never – R Plus Seven

For the past three weeks, I’ve attempted to write this review about five times with the same events happening. First, I create a strong opening line that describes my feeling about the album, followed by a point that talks about the artist, but by the time I get around to actually describing why I feel

No Age – An Object

  Lot’s happened in 2010. Vampire Weekend’s Contra debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, Jay Reatard died at 29, Pavement reunited for a tour, and Arcade Fire shocked the world with the Album Of The Year at the notorious Grammy’s.

Ironically, the band’s legacy is still found today in top album lists and other

Autre Ne Veut – Anxiety Review

R&B is one of the most popular genres of music so far in the 21st century. Everything released from 2000-2004 that was on top 40 seemed to fall into the “Rhythm & Blues’ category. Like rap music, it’s largely connected with the African-American demographic and reigned up until recently as an ‘anti-hipster’ genre. If you claimed

Scott Walker leaves you with a jaw to pick up on “Bish Bosch”

Experimentation in music is the reason why we hear what we do today. If someone didn’t go out of their way to fuck with the listener, who would? Us as humans are intrigued by the some of the oddest things. We enjoy attention, we like it when others we dislike are hurting, and we want
