Album Review: Drone guitarists Kyle Bobby Dunn & Wayne Robert Thomas transcend on split 12″
Clocking in at 40 minutes, ambient and experimental guitarists Kyle Bobby Dunn and Wayne Robert Thomas have, in short, created two works on KBD / WRT that it is all too easy to become absolutely lost in.
Editors: Violence | Is Violence The Answer?
Violence is the best work Editors have released, hopefully leading to greater things and not be a full stop. Violence seems to be the answer.
Massive Attack: Mezzanine | Close Your Eyes and Reinvent Me | 20th Anniversary

Album Review: Underoath – Erase Me | Its Dangerous Business Leaving Your Old Sound
Bottom line: Erase Me is not an Underoath record. Same band name, because that is what everyone knows them as, but if I am being honest, this sounds a lot more like the second Sleepwave record. Screamo is officially dead, and Underoath get that. But, I just cannot get into this.
Wye Oak: The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs | Embracing the Future while Barely Looking Back
The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs is not a defining artistic statement for Wye Oak. Arguably that is the make or break desperation and immediacy of Civilian; however, this time around, it finds Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack growing more comfortable into the sonic palate they’ve found themselves in.
