I will say with complete certitude that this is the last Interpol album I will ever review. They are a band that meant something to me for (generously) three albums...
I’ve been a fan of Car Seat Headrest in the past and continue to be up to and including this album. My initial issue with it, though, is that it’s technically not...
Spoon is a band I've been listening to for years. I've seen them live and created playlists on Apple Music and its predecessors that I just throw on shuffle and...
I know we don't really do desert island albums since the advent of the iPod, but let's just pretend for a sec that I could only bring 10 albums with me when I h...
The first time I listened to this one I'm not sure I was in the right frame of mind. I heard the initial blast of lo-fi auditory fuzz and almost immediately dis...
What the hell is going on here? That is the only question one can ask when the lispy, Scotsman whines the line "My brother had confessed he was gay to take the ...
Sounding like the title of a forgotten The Smiths album, If You're Feeling Sinister is an odd album that somehow mines the dark underpinnings of the sunny world...
This title sounds so dirty, I hardly want to pick up this album. The first track, "It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career" is a terrific little piece of pop blis...
Malkmus was always tagged with the whole slacker thing from way back. But somehow those old Pavement records feel way less slackery than his solo stuff, despite...
Right out of the gate I'm thinking second coming of Elastica. Though that comparison is relatively fleeting, as the obvious Siouxsie and the Banshees thing roll...
Have you ever seen Donnie Darko? Well, if you haven’t, then consider this a supplement to your soundtrack. Well, that mixed with a twinge of Cat Stevens’ "Troub...
As an aging hipster, it is a moral imperative that I buy this album. Pavement is the ultimate touchpoint for any throwback hipster and having Beck on the boards...
I generally stay away from the low-key singer/songwriter stuff since Elliott Smith snuffed himself. I saw one of his shows at Irving Plaza back when he was stil...
I will not apologize for enjoying Interpol albums. Not that anybody has asked me to, but there seems to be something almost unsavory about admitting the joy in ...
At first I felt kind of weird or bad listening to this guy. But by this, the third of his albums I purchased, I got over the fact the guy calls himself Jay Reat...
Sprout's sophomore effort starts in outer space somewhere, with a hum that made me think my headphones had broken. The rest of the album just kind of settles in...
There's no mistaking this for anything else but a Guided by Voices solo project. Granted Tobin Sprout just doesn't have the swagger in his music that Bob Pollar...
You can't even call yourself a fan of indie rock if you don't own and love this album. "Summer Babe," the opening track, is as perfect piece of slacker rock as ...
