Some of the best things in music are collaborations. Queen & David Bowie. Beyonce & Lady Gaga. Fall Out Boy & Panic! At The Disco. With the exception of hip-hop, the genre of perfect pairings has been declining, with artists secluding themselves from each other creatively. However, Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett have come to […]
Despite being a huge Tove Lo fan, I was prepared to hate “Disco Tits”. Why? Because what kind of a name is this? Who in the world names a good song “Disco Tits”? Tove Lo does. It’s with a huge smile on my face that I write that my assumptions about “Disco Tits” were completely […]
Bully, a rock band from Nashville, will be in Philadelphia on 11/14 at First Unitarian church. Bully’s sophomore album Losing is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases for Fall, with early reviews and critics raving about the record’s explosive power and sharp and powerful lyrics. It came out this month on Sub-Pop. Bully received near […]
What I would listen to if I were somehow sunbathing at 2 or 3 AM. It would be dark out, but somehow still pleasantly warm — as if it were a nice, sunny day. This album gives me a uniquely eerie feeling that I’ve never really been able to find anywhere else. Many of […]
Okay, so I go to a lot of concerts. I spend basically all my money on concerts (or food). Rock, hip hop, pop, rap, jazz, classical, world—it doesn’t matter. I’ve been to concerts in big groups; I’ve been by myself. I’ve been first row, last row, to big festivals and tiny venues. There’s something so […]
If you’re not careful (really, even if you are careful) this album will make you lose faith in your sense of reality …but in a sort of good way. Jerry Paper, who describes himself as an ‘11th dimension musical entity’ who occasionally occupies the body of Lucas Nathan, is absolutely obsessed with the simulations […]
Kali Uchis played at West Philly’s own World Café Live, with a very impressive opener Phony Ppl, both bringing the chilliest of vibes on Wednesday night to a sold out show. Kali Uchis, born Karly Loaiza in Pereira, Columbia, is a singer, songwriter and producer who has been garnering more and more attention in […]
Hey Philly! Two shows coming up you don’t want to miss: Walter TV @ Space 1026 on 10/24 Walter TV, the former of band of Mac DeMarco, just dropped their latest album Carpe Diem last month via Sinderlyn. The indie rock band is Pierce McGarry on vocals/guitar, Joe McMurray on drums, and Simon Ankenman on bass. Northern Transmissions said, “On their third […]
An album so smooth that, if I was forced to choose when bedtime rolled around, I’d pick it over a soft blanky every time. This album is somehow very spacey and very tight all at once. While listening to a few of the tracks I found myself feeling like somebody was shooting lasers directly […]
Last week, we interviewed Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion to discuss Offering, the latest offering from their band Cults. The two perform at Johnny Brenda’s this Saturday, October 14 in a show that will demonstrate their musical transition from the 2010 hit single “Go Outside” to the more spiritual sound of Offering. Throughout the interview, […]
