    Neighbor - Self-Titled

    The Needle Drop

    NEIGHBOR by Neighbor I like my sludge guttural, nasty, dirty, and bearded. I’ve never seen Louisville band Neighbor in person, so I can’t vouch for the band’s choice in facial hair, but those other three things are definitely there. The recording here is grimy, heavy, and somewhat

    Singer-songwriter and electronic music producer Baths has a new single out titled “Miasma Sky,” which is teasing toward the release of his sophomore full-length, Obsidian.
