Album Review: Joanna Newsom – Divers
Joanna Newsom's latest album Divers succeeds on multiple levels: it’s wide-spectrum folk with a reach beyond freak-folk aesthetes. Divers is a masterpiece.
Album Review: Moñecho – Past Waters/Fever Lives
Moñecho throws the rulebook out the window with the creation of Past Waters/Fever Lives, and lives to tell the tale. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

Album Review: Editors – In Dream
In Dream isn't a step in the right direction for constantly shapeshifting band. I've liked Editors for a long time, but In Dream is lacking a familiar core
Man Man @ The Grog Shop, Cleveland Heights, OH – September 24, 2015
The Man Man show felt like a creep show carnival. It felt like a 1970s dance party. It felt like experimental theater. It felt like the awakening of a cult.
Album Review: mewithoutYou – Pale Horses
There’s a sense of measured purpose to Pale Horses that I really needed to hear in 2015 and I’m glad I got to experience from mewithoutYou.
Adopt this Album: Calexico – Edge of The Sun
Like all of Calexico’s albums Edge of the Sun is fun, layered, complex, moody, sultry, diverse, and interesting. This is an album worth listening too.
New Jams: Loose Tooth – Easy Easy East
Loose Tooth is just plain fun. Whether is on their album Easy Easy East or playing live, the energy of their music takes you to a world of excitement.
Album Review: The Wheel Workers – Citizens
The Wheel Workers' Citizens is a combination of strong words and great music that results in pop-rock encouraging you to think. Nothing wrong with that!
