Sunn O))) – White2 – Review

January 24, 2005

An experimental/ambient duo whose twin gods are the band Earth and Sunn amps. The fifth full-length amid the millions of limited-edition releases.

Stinking Lizaveta – Caught Between Worlds – Review

January 24, 2005

My kind of jam band. In possession of a nimble, subliminal band groove, the type made possible only by playing together for large spaces of time.

Stiff Little Fingers – Guitar and Drum – Review

January 24, 2005

Starwood – If It Ain’t Broke, Break It! – Review

Bella Morte – As the Reasons Die – Review

January 10, 2005

Comprised of the new wave, synth-pop, punk, and darkwave we’ve come to expect, there’s also an edgy guitar layer, without turning into a KMFDM grind-fest.

Asrai – Touch in the Dark – Review

The Asrai are small, fragile, female beings who polymorph into puddles of water. Asrai is a disarmingly honest blend of prog rock, new wave, and Gothic metal.

Monofader – Frost – Review

January 10, 2005

Comprised of Sebastian R. Komor (Icon of Coil) and the silky smooth vocals of Richard Bjorklund (Spektralized). One of the top 10 future pop releases of 2004.

Human Television – All Songs Written By – Review

January 10, 2005

Human Television have been compared to The Wedding Present a lot for good reason. Jangly guitars, hop-along tempos, noodle-y melodies, rough-but-catchy vocals.
