Washed Out Life Of Leisure
Life Of Leisure is a record that resembles a woozy Technicolor frolic through a field of opiates. Give it a listen - you know you want to...

Pantha Du Prince Black Noise
Hendrick Weber's first release for Rough Trade dissapointingly throws a few spanners in the works.
Jody White reviews... -
The Morning Benders Big Echo
Gotta love a band whose name implies alcoholism...
Ryan Faughnder reviews... -
Tunng ...And Then We Saw Land
A mix of folk and electronica is all well and good - but what happens when you don't have the tunes?
Joe Rivers pretty much forgets what just happened... -
Yeasayer Odd Blood
Odd Blood's peaks simply can't compensate for its valleys.
Michael Skinnider reviews... -
Peter Gabriel Scratch My Back
It's no "Shock The Monkey". It's not even "In Your Eyes".
Chris Coplan reviews... -
The Besnard Lakes The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night
The Montreal sextet's epic new album ups the ante by expanding their psychedelic tendencies to a grand scale.
Juan Edgardo Rodriguez may have the cure for modern rock in his hands... -
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Brutalist Bricks
Ted Leo's latest full length is a sloppy and uneven disappointment.
Gabbie Nirenburg reviews... -
Toro Y Moi Causers Of This
Toro Y Moi releases his debut full-length amid two peaks, the popular reign and critical boredom of still-infant subgenre chillwave. Or was that glo-fi? And what about shit-gaze? Seriously, I read an album-review classified as shit-gaze yesterday... Anyway, well after Causers Of This is finished and released, Toro Y Moi has his work cut out for him.

Freelance Whales Weathervanes
Weathervanes is too lacking in substance to make it more than an occasional indulgence (like a fried Twinkie) or a novelty album for snugglin'.
Nate Adams is well known for his cotton candy shits...
