Actor, writer, and rapper Donald Glover is Childish Gambino. He’s best known for his comedic output, but his rap career seems to be growing exponentially with the release of his latest EP–look out for a full-length this fall, too. We’re taking on the lead single from this
If my son had made this album, I’d say this: “This is a strong debut, son. Strong debut.” WATCH THE REVIEW
This Will Destroy You’s latest LP starts and finishes with flying colors, but it gets a little underwhelming in the middle for me. Hearing the band revisit old sounds, work with an odd drum mix, and working with similar structures throughout this album make me rethink my original love
On their sophomore album, Australia’s the UV Race brings garage rock to a dirtier and grimier level than most. The band’s loose song structures and loose playing bring a lot of, well, “character” to these recordings. There are flubbed notes everywhere, and it’s all for the sake

As many of you already know, my views in these reviews are mine and mine alone. I don’t expect people to feel the same way I do about albums–whether my feelings are positive or negative. This “review” is on the new Man Man album, Life Fantastic; however, I
On his debut full-length, Outmind, Matthewdavid flips through his sketchbook of ambient drones and blurred beats, picking out the best stuff he’s got to offer so far. While he does pull some fantastic sounds together, and issue I find myself running into is the brevity of some of these
On the band’s latest album, Manchester Orchestra seems to lose of a lot of the passion and rock ‘n’ roll momentum that have made their last two LPs pretty decent. They’ve exchanged this for some relatively heavier production and string arrangements. In my opinion, it wasn’t that
