By David Baugh Videographer Proz Taylor is a musical artist who we were happy to experience, as he was our first-ever musician to rap in a Studio C session. Although every artist brings us something new and unique, Taylor was such a step away from our traditional sound and did not disappoint. With live performances of a couple songs and a short interview, we had the opportunity to learn a […]
By Jacob Carter Music Journalist Artist: Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile Album: Lotta Sea Lice Label: Matador Release Date: October 13, 2017 Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile are two of the biggest indie rock acts working today, so when their collaborative album Lotta Sea Lice came out on Oct. 13, most reactions to it (including my own) were something along the lines of, “yeah, of course it’s great.” Both Vile and […]
By Jacob Carter Music Journalist Artist: Alvvays Album: Antisocialites Label: Polyvinyl Release Date: September 8, 2017 There’s no shortage of indie rock albums about relationships. But in an environment oversaturated with with synth-heavy, reverb-soaked breakup songs, how do you push the bar forward? There’s no right answer, but there are bands that are tinkering with that sound, and in the case of Alvvays on their new LP Antisocialites, coming damn close […]

This is especially true of music made by and for young people in 2017. Personally, […]

Every band’s hometown has a huge amount of influence in creating their sound, but some groups embrace that influence more than others. Toy, the latest album from Austin-based punk outfit A Giant Dog, is […]
By Jacob Carter Music Journalist If you have never listened to Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs before, the best primer for the band is to watch their video for “Talk 2 Her,” from their new self-titled album, out July 28th. Good music videos often encapsulate the spirit of a band, and this one is no exception: goofy dance numbers, 70’s guitar hooks, and Coffey’s bombastic vocals contribute to a […]
By Jacob Carter Music Journalist Artist: Kevin Morby Album: City Music Release Date: June 16th, 2017 Website: http://www.kevinmorby.com/ City life has gotten a bit of a bad rap in pop culture lately. In movies, there’s arisen a kind of fetishism for seeing the world’s biggest cities and monuments destroyed by a supervillain, natural disaster, or some other plot device.
