Le Tigre – This Island – Review

April 18, 2005

Kathleen Hanna’s seething siren howl blaring over Johanna Fateman’s chunky, fuzzed guitar and JD Samson’s writhing and cranking beats is perfection to my ears.

Lene Marlin – Another Day – Review

April 18, 2005

A catchy yet lingering acoustic-based pop gem as heartfelt as anything by Dido or Norah Jones. Not an album you listen to, it’s an album you experience.

Keane – Hopes and Fears – Review

April 18, 2005

Gigantic melodies that could topple mountains, belted out by a vocalist who reminds the masses what good songs are capable of in the right hands.

El Toro – May and Marielle – Review

April 13, 2005

Metaphorical and rife with self-reference and examination, Lubwikowski’s confessional lyric style weaves storybook sensibility around his inventive narrative.

Pela – All in Time – Review

April 13, 2005

Pela skates dangerously close to an over-hyped trendy indie rock band, but that’s the culture, not the songwriting, and that’s what saves them.

No Wait Wait – Review

April 13, 2005

Funny, this band name is like calling out to me as I type “Ignorable indie rock” and asking me to stay a bit longer. No.

Innaway – Review

April 13, 2005

Not much to grab onto here, and I’m too high strung to ever really appreciate this gentle indie rock. Some Records is pretty reliable.
