NOW PLAYING: Blank Dogs, ‘Phrases’ (Captured Tracks, 2010)
May 7, 2010
The Details: Blank Dogs, Phrases EP (Captured Tracks, 2010) A Quick Review: Hey, where did all the feedback & fuzz go? And what’s up with Mike Sniper’s vocals? They’re so…clean.

MEAL TICKET: White Hinterland’s Recipe For Kumquat Marmalade
May 4, 2010
We’ve already told you why White Hinterland‘s Kairos LP is one of the year’s finest makeovers–an abrupt but seamless shift from smoky, jazzy folk tunes to beat-heavy pop and R&B. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, singer/multi-instrumentalist Casey Dienel is also one hell of a cook. So now that spring has officially sprung at White […]
