Running the back alley his way, as a one-man band split into a full four-piece, David Drake delivers a smashingly creative performance in the music video for his new single “Shooting Arrows at the Sun.” In avoiding any temptation to invite unnecessary props and elements into the big picture here, Drake ensures that this wildly […]
Metal has been in an interesting state the last few years. More than ever before, the genre’s underground is becoming increasingly difficult to categorize, and acts like Bovine Nightmares are no doubt the reason why. Bovine Nightmares meld a lot of different elements together in their new single and video “Giving Little Robots to Children,” […]
There have been a lot of interesting takes on Americana coming to the surface from beneath the mainstream in the last two years, and while I’m reticent to chock up David Haerle’s new single and music video “Go Do That With Sharon” to a trend in his scene, there’s no debate whether or not it […]
Devoid of a heavy overdrive and relatively crisp comparative to the other string play I’ve listened to this season, the fretwork in Reverse Mechanic’s “Head in the Clouds” might not be the most evocative element in the single/video combo, but it’s an irreplaceable cornerstone of the track all the same.

In a confident glide, the beautiful textures amalgamate to form the first thirty seconds of Antherius’ “Midnight Cowboy,” out this spring in both music video and single form. In the video, we look out upon a surreal, near-empty New York City, the ghostly imagery reflecting the awakening melodies rather perfectly. We’re no more than a […]
R U IN, the latest album from the acclaimed Heartour, comes to us as polished as any indie synth-rock record should. There are varnished beats in “As Far As We Go,” acrylic bass textures to behold in “The Persuadable One” and light shades of psychedelic decadence in “Bubbling.” Jason Young’s voice sparkles with an anti-artificial […]
Pop music has evolved in some amazing ways over the past decade. The start of the 2010s brought about a new wave of experimental attitudes, and subsequently, a litany of new influencers who could lead the genre in a new direction. Shifting away from the plasticized loop stylizations that led the 2000’s pop generation to […]
