Ólöf Arnalds - Surrender (Ft. Björk)
Sounds like: Sóley, Jónsi, Lay Low
By Abby Madan on Jun 2, 2015 | Let it be known that some incredible musical talent hails from Iceland (think Seabear, Ólafur Arnalds, Pascal Pinon, I could go on and on). For a country of around 330,000, Iceland produces an impressive amount of musical talent. How so much talent ... read more →

In Tall Buildings - Unmistakable
In Tall Buildings - Unmistakable
Sounds like: Peter Gabriel, Pinback, Gotye
By Cassie Morien on Jun 2, 2015 | The more I interview bands, the more I become fascinated by each artist’s creative timeline. Some musicians and bands can crank out albums and EPs like clockwork, an album every two years and a few singles to hold us over in between. Others, like the... read more →

Moses Sumney - Seeds
Sounds like: Mizan, Sampha, Bells Atlas
By sweeney kovar on Apr 28, 2025 | Moses Sumney's Mid-City Island EP was one of my favorite pieces of music from last year. On "Seeds," he continues building his world by feeling his way through it.  Sumney's falsetto enchants. The windy whisper  read more →

Foo Fighters - The Pretender (Tessa Rose Jackson Cover)
Sounds like: Washington, Kimbra, Owl Eyes
By Justin Lam on Apr 30, 2015 | Can't say I was expecting a cover of Foo Fighters' "The Pretender" by Dutch songstress Tessa Rose Jackson, but boy does she blow this one out of the water. I honestly forgot what the original sounded like till Tessa's boisterous but nostalgic rendit... read more →

Father John Misty - True Affection
Father John Misty - True Affection
Sounds like: Fleet Foxes, Kevin Drew, Elliot Smith,
By Sam McLoughlin on Apr 16, 2015 | There just isn't another songwriter out there like J. Tillman, in my opinion. His soulful cynicism, his abundant lyricism, his beard... man crushes are a thing, right?  Anyway, his new album came out a couple months ago, and what I love about it is ... read more →

Odetta Hartman - Creektime
Sounds like: Joanna Newsom, Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens
By Christiana Bartolini on Mar 16, 2015 | Haunting and eerie, Odetta Hartman invokes the perfect marriage between old and new folk on her single "Creektime." The simplicity that bellows beneath the complex surface of this track emits originality and inventiveness. The short, sweet duration ... read more →

The Mild High Club - Windowpane
Sounds like: Silk Rhodes, Tame Impala, My Morning Jacket
By sweeney kovar on Feb 2, 2015 | Though initially Stones Throw made its name through hip-hop and DJ records, they've been quietly shedding any genre-specific identity with the inclusion of Leaving Records and music by artists like Mayer Hawthorne, The Lions, and Silk Rhodes.  A new... read more →

Packwood - All Smoke Must Find Its Way
Sounds like: Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, Patrick Watson
By Hugh McClure on Jan 14, 2015 | I always struggle to get back into writing after the holiday season, when I'm take a much needed rest from music. But the first track I review is always fun, a fresh start. This year's is the premiere of a new tune from Melbourne singer-songwriter P... read more →
