With an almost unmeasurable poetic bitterness, Andrew Jackson Jihad are as sharp as ever on their new album, Knife Man. As usual, the music here is about the lyrics. The chord progressions are familiar copies of folk songs and punk tunes. Hell, some of the songs even sound similar to
If you love cute rock tunes with a dismal outlook on life, Veronica Falls might be the band for you. Their latest LP is simple, immediate, and catchy. I know it’s easy to get down on something that sounds so easy to execute, but the energy and moody aesthetic

Singer-songwriter Liam Finn dropped his sophomore album, FOMO, this past summer on Yep Roc Recs. “The Struggle” is one of the hotter and heavier moments from this new album. The song actually reminds me of a track off the Mountain Goats album Tallahassee. The execution is similar, but what makes

Out now via Kranky Recs. The track above is from the new a Winged Victory For the Sullen album. It’s self-titled. The project involves Stars of the Lid member Adam Wiltzie and composer Dustin O’Halloran. The final result is a stunning and pretty combination of classical sounds and
BBNG by BADBADNOTGOOD I’ve talked his young, Canadian jazz trio up before on the blog. Hopefully, you know the deal with them by now. They’ve got a new release of jazz and hip hop fusions on their Bandcamp. It’s titled BBNG, and features a little Joy Division
Das Racist’s Relax is a bit of a letdown for me. I just didn’t enjoy it as much as the tapes. There are plenty of tracks here where the guys are their usual, hilarious selves. However, some of the funnier tracks lack the focus that make songs such
