The Faint
The Faint – Fasciinatiion 7/10 It’s always a blast when you can’t tell if it’s a person or an instrument singing. The Faint has already established itself as leaning into the wind of experimental/foreboding/futuristic pop, gracefully and unyieldingly taking the reigns over all the other shit-tastic purveyors to bring us a blindingly fresh and acerbic [...]

Edie Sedgwick
Andy Warhol Once Loved Me Andy Warhol’s factory was once a famous hang out for transgender freaks, drug crazed manics and one of the greatest bands the world has ever scene.

Jaguar Love
Jaguar Love – Take Me To The Sea 6/10 Jilted power pop that shrieks and fizzles with every tumbling guitar line and piano stab and cymbal crash is the style of Jaguar Love’s debut album. The singing is out of key and largely effortless, but it sure makes for an interesting listen! The obvious “takes [...]
