Swans’ new record is going to be a doozy. Previously, the band dropped a 10-minute version of the album’s 23-minute track “The Apostate,” and now NPR is streaming another 10-minute epic, with the suitably huge-sounding name “Mother of the World.” The track is essentially a lengthy, churning waltz, with
Sounds of Desolation by Sun Devoured Earth Sun Devoured Earth is one-man experimental project based in Aizkraukle, Latvia with a wide swath of influences and a very ambitious sound. He describes the sound of his new full length Sounds of Desolation as “gloomy dream pop,” but I think the album
Swedish crooner Jens Lekman dropped a new video recently for the title track from his forthcoming album I Know What Love Isn’t. This album was released early to people who pre-ordered it, so I’ve had some time to enjoy it for quite a while already, and although I

I think there’s more than one Ty Segall walking the planet right now or something, because the California garage rocker is about to drop his third–yes, third–project this year. His previous two releases were great, rowdy rock records, and it’ll be exciting to see if he
August 21st is almost here, which means the release of DOOM’s new collaborative project with Jneiro Jarel is almost here as well. JJ DOOM’s new LP, Key to the Kuffs, from what I understand, will be nothing but straight spitting from DOOM and production from Jarel. “Rhymin Slang”
Though Mature Themes does contain some of my favorite Ariel Pink songs, it’s hardly a solid listen. Between “Nostradamus & Me” and “Driftwood,” there are just too many underwhelming and forgettable potholes on this LP. WATCH THE REVIEW
On their debut LP, Niki & the Dove draw up some really catchy synth pop tunes, but fail to draw up their own take on the style. However, it still ends up being a reasonably enjoyable record based solely on the merits of their production and hooks. WATCH THE REVIEW
