Beach Fossils Release Video For "Saint Ivy"

Beach Fossils Release Video For “Saint Ivy”

Beach Fossils have shared the video for “Saint Ivy,” a track that combines both the efforts of Vince Guaraldi and The Beatles. I can honestly say that I don’t mind and I certainly approve of their efforts including their political statement towards the current political administration. I dare say, “More please.”

Last month, Beach Fossils announced their new album, Somersault, out June 2nd on…

Depeche Mode: Spirit:: Review

Depeche Mode: Spirit:: Review

They are back. They have made albums. All along. As recent as 2009. But DEPECHE MODE is back. In sound and style. Even more political. I half expect to catch David Gahan wondering my neighborhood in cloak and crown, carrying his folding beach chair. Spirit is a return to the iconic sound and production of Violator, with a taste of Songs of Faith and Devotion. But it sounds altogether new,…

Raekwon: The Wild:: Review

Raekwon: The Wild:: Review

After the intro skit, The Wild kicks off with “This is what its Come To.” A track that sounds straight out of a late night recording session with Mobb Deep circa 1995. It invites us into the record with safe and familiar beats and styles before jumping off into all kinds of directions. The Chef himself boasts, “ Ain’t no words to describe my rhyme.” A lovable proclamation from an undeniably…

The Jesus and Mary Chain: Damage and Joy:: Review

The Jesus and Mary Chain: Damage and Joy:: Review

If the JAMC were a car, it’s an old one, but its stilling running. It gets you from point A to point B. It’s paid for. But there are little quirks, noises, and eccentricities that let you know it just don’t run like it used to. It still works in the same ways. Riff distorted heavily, usually droning. The requisite hypnotic beats and rhythms. Softer, gentler numbers are in the mix too. But the…

The Shins: Heartworms:: Review

The Shins: Heartworms:: Review

When I first heard the Shins, I thought they were the new great hope of post alternative, post punk fans everywhere. The promise of the early nineties let us down after Cobain was gone. We were surrounded by ska pop, Smash Mouth and Nickleback and told it was “alternative.” But then came the Shins. For whatever reason, the bass hooks, the song craft; I heard a Factory Records band hidden in a…

Mastodon: Emperor of Sand:: Review

Mastodon: Emperor of Sand:: Review

The kings of the Heavy Metal libretto return. No one does a theme like Mastodon. From the Moby Dick of Leviathan, to this week’s, Emperor of Sand, concept album is an understatement. These are metal operas. The concept and story in Emperor of Sand follows a desert wanderer who has been handed a death sentence. Themes of death and survival are woven into the song’s lyrics, which were inspired by…
