【review/rate】the 1975 / a brief inquiry into online relationships
released 2018, dirty hit. One of my most anticipated album releases of the year, "A Brief Inquiry..." arrived after a lengthy campaign (that ended up giving us a third of the album as singles before the actual release, yikes) and months of buildup and expectations. I'll say that while it met mine [expectations], it is... Continue Reading →
【check!】keshi / the reaper
keshi's got a new mini out now, four slices of chill tinged pop boppery topped with suave vocals like a cherry on a sundae. The title track and '2 soon' are the highlights for me. https://open.spotify.com/album/1hM5xkleU8wr2yOaY2gCMB

It wasn't as punk rock or upbeat as most of the first... Continue Reading →

released 2018, konichiwa records. If you've been on the hunt for a pop experience that will throw everything you thought you knew about the medium out of the window, look no further. I'm just gonna come out and say it : Honey is quite possibly the most sincere, raw and brilliantly produced pop album of... Continue Reading →
【check!】filter / take a picture (hybrid mix)
I like to watch tons of horror flicks during the month of October, and tonight I picked out 2001's corny yet effective "Valentine". Do I enjoy it? Yeah. Is it a 'good' film? Not so much. I can say that whoever picked the licensed music did a brilliant job, though. The progressive beats of this... Continue Reading →
【live/check!】rose ette album release show (2018.10.05)
Last night I took it upon myself to head out to Dan Electro's after a crazy day of work for Rose Ette's first full album release show. It was a pretty stellar night, and also introduced me to a smattering of local groups full of talent that I'll definitely be keeping tabs on. It has... Continue Reading →
