Album Reviews

While animated and presented in sepia as if to suggest an ancient quality not made clear to us in the song itself, the video for Milquetoast & Co.’s new single “Hummingbirds” is an imagistic treat that doesn’t deliver its eccentricities to us in limited doses. We’re brought into what feels …

Lucky Harmon’s intent on cutting loose and having a little fun in his new music video with Bboy Fidget, “Party Life,” and whether you’re able to get on their level of late night exceptionalism or not, the fun is more than provocative to put it quite mildly. Lucky Harmony delivers …

The thrust of “Beaming Right Up” is indeed alive and well in the groove that sits beneath the distorted melodic volley driving home “Communion” this December, but if you think Makes My Blood Dance simply repurposed the setup for their debut in this fourth official single, you’d better think again. …

Guitar. Bass. Drums. What more do you need in true rock n’ roll? According to Tsunami of Sound, nothing else, and they demonstrate just how much truth there is to this notion in the new single “Motor Oil” and its accompanying music video, both of which were recently released independently …

The video for Moonray’s “When You’re Around” starts off like a true motion picture complete with more props and character depth than most indie acts can assemble inside of a six minute document, but don’t be fooled by the larger than life cinematic elements; this is indeed a vehicle meant …

A thousand new rules and a constant feeling that we’re living in uncertain times have become quite common in the last ten months or so, and in the music video for “The Covid 19 Christmas Song” by David King Jones, this emerging shift in culture is translated into imagery and …

Throttling us with a physicality that is earned rather than implied, Greg Hoy’s “Can You Take It?” doesn’t sit back in the shadows waiting for us to discover the charisma of its rock n’ roll groove. This is a track and music video that get in our face with their …

One part hip-hop ballad, another part progressive R&B experiment, Christopher Watson’s “Truth Is” isn’t exactly the easiest of singles to categorize, but when taking a look at its music video, there’s no denying that its composer has a very stylish and appealing persona no matter what you call his sound. …

Brooding isn’t a word that I would normally whip out to describe a synth part in any album, but in the case of Paul Jacks’ “Into the Silence” and the other nine songs found on Black Jackal, no other will do. In Black Jackal, Paul Jacks is seeking to change how people …

Getting started with The Dead Daisies’ “Holy Ground (Shake the Memory)” isn’t that much different than playing any of the other single/video combos they’ve released since first getting together just a little while ago; the biggest difference, I suppose, is how quickly things evolve into brilliant bedlam for the players …

Money. Swagger. A total disinterest in the stress of 2020. These are the themes of GoodLook’s “Rich Dance” music video, but beyond its cosmetics, this video is sporting a soundtrack that is enough to make anyone feel like a millionaire at the right volume. GoodLook is entering the market at …
