Dallas trio TRUE WIDOW craft patient, rounded music that calls to mind images of foggy dawns and parched fields. Formed in November 2007, TRUE WIDOW released their self-titled debut a year later and immediately caught the ears of the underground. At its core, the music of TRUE WIDOW is powered by the driving, guitar-dense aspects […]

Sunflower Bean find magic within friction. The New York trio’s full-length debut album, Human Ceremony , emerges at the intersection of dreamy modern psychedelica and urgent fuzzed-out bliss. That push-and-pull colors the aural tapestry of these three musicians—Jacob Faber , Julia Cumming , and Nick Kivlen . “Everything comes from a conflicting interest,” affirms Nick. […]

Totally unrestrained creative expression is a standard that any artist would strive for. It just so happens that Atlanta quintet Hello Ocho has long since left that landmark in the rear view, hurtling through the cosmos like a psychedelic freighter with little regard for traditional song and genre forms. The latest product of their efforts, […]

Show Me the Body is a sludgy trio of NYC natives who, with only two EPs, have become fixtures of the city's underground scene. In 2016, they capture the increasingly alarming state of a New York that is rapidly attempting to eradicate the chaos they favor. Like their friends Ratking, who are fellow members of […]

The Tokyo, Japan based 4 piece Instrumental Rock band MONO was originally formed in 1999.

Atlanta's "new kings of noise rock" Whores have hit the proverbial big time. With a two EPs that have achieved near-cult classic status in the noise rock underground and countless cross-country tours, over the past five years the band have managed to gain the kind of respect usually reserved for acts that have been pounding […]

Over the course of two astonishing albums, Perfume Genius, aka Seattle native Mike Hadreas, cemented his place as a singer-songwriter of rare frankness, creating songs that, while achingly emotional, offered empathy and hope, rather than any judgment or handwringing. Sparse, gorgeous and with Hadreas' quavering vocals often only accompanied by piano, they were uncommonly beautiful […]
