Alain Johannes – Hallowed Bones – Music Stream

September 3, 2020

“Hallowed Bones” is perhaps the most similar to Eleven’s output in the ’90s, and therefore a fave of mine.

Gin Wigmore – Feels Like Me – Music Stream

August 17, 2020

Randy Newman’s bouncy piano work and raspy, optimistic female vocals feel like the first sip of coffee in the morning or a cool breeze coming across the park.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre – What You Isn’t – Music Stream

May 19, 2014

The music industry illuminati declared The Brian Jonestown Massacre – and their supposed mad genius frontman Anton Newcombe – to be rock’s great saviors.

Owls – I’m Surprised – Music Stream

Owls are a satisfying throwback to a time when emo rock hadn’t yet evolved into an overly sleek, whiny mess of a movement.

Dum Dum Girls – Lost Boys and Girls Club – Music Stream

January 30, 2014

Blitzen Trapper – Ever Loved Once – Music Stream

December 31, 2013

Rogue Wave – College – Music Stream

December 9, 2013

“College” is appropriately-named. Rogue Wave offer up a 101-level anthem for awkward, nervous late-teens.

Saturday Looks Good to Me – Invisible Friend – Music Stream

December 3, 2013

Gloriously produced, easy-breezy summer indie pop, with most of the vocals volleyed by the women. Their voices match better than my socks.
