On the first track to drop from Bjork’s forthcoming album, Biophilia, the Icelandic singer-songwriter just doesn’t do a lot for me, honestly. I was pretty excited about this track, too. It’s certainly got all the makings of a great Bjork track–some strong vocals and personality, ear-grabbing

New York’s Cults have a deeply rooted love for pop’s older and more sentimental side. Considering how referential this music is, these two must be extremely well-verse when it comes to the Spectors, Wilsons, and Meeks of the world. I’m sure they’re even fans of artists

On Iceage’s full-length debut, the band forges a cohesive style in raw, messy musicianship and noisy guitars. Sometimes it’s overwhelming, and sometimes it’s just catchy and loveable. But it’s always giving off some kind of strong energy or emotion–even at its most apathetic. WATCH THE

Considering this album’s lineup change, its group of new guest singers, Gloss Drop must have been a bit of a challenge for Battles. Also, don’t forget to add the fact this thing is the band’s Sophomore LP, which comes after a highly praised first album. If this

On Arctic Monkeys’ latest album, the band drains themselves of adrenaline to play a set of songs that go back in time and try to revive a group of dated sounds. The guys play with sunshine pop, garage rock, and even some Queens of the Stone Age-esque riffage make it

On its latest release, Woods make their sound a little sunnier with brighter guitar leads and attitudes. But some of the songs here just feel too unfinished to really feel memorable or exciting for me. I dig this band a lot, but I almost feel like I’ve fallen off

What can I say about Planningtorock’s latest album that’s positive? Honestly, not much. Not only that, but I’m awestruck at how positive some of the receptions have been to what she’s doing. I don’t begrudge her the fanbase she’s gathered so far–especially since
