Who is the man behind the mask? Electronic producer from the US and your imaginary friend he claims. He has been making music and released an album in 2012 and this is the first I’ve heard of him. His forte is EDM and despite me not recognizing his moniker, he did do a collaboration with…

Craters. That’s what I’m calling my readers. It is written. I am excited for this one. I’ve been wanting to write about this one for a while, but this album has been on my mind for the longest time. Genesis Owusu is a name that has been familiar with me with everyone praising his last…

For an album that talks about how he became 58, this singer-songwriter is 60 as of right now. Not a jab against Bill Callahan. It just goes to show how long he invested to craft this album. This man has been in the game for so long, while working under the band of Smog. He…

Fabiano do Nascimento is a Brazilian-American guitarist and composer and he came across my way when I saw Brazilian Classical music was the selling point of Vila. I don’t have much Brazilian Classical knowledge, so my expectations were neutral and I didn’t anticipate the aura that was about to be brought down on me. Do…

Once upon a time in a barn far, far away there lived Horsegiirl. Half girl. Half horse. All aura. She’s from Berlin, Germany where she is a DJ who is not only a whimsical character, but is also elusive by wearing this hyper realistic horse mask everywhere she goes like a mythological creature. In my…

Kelela Mizanekristos was born in Washington, D.C. with two Ethiopian immigrant parents and the world was her oyster at that point. She was inspired by legends such as Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill according to Wonderland Magazine. Since she’s a young person of color and a child to immigrants, she had an identity crisis, similar…

I was browsing Bandcamp and was looking for metal albums specifically. So, I went back to a label that didn’t let me down being Transcending Obscurity Records that had a release I really loved back in 2024 being Infinite Mortality by Replicant. So, I give them thanks for leading me here, but what also grabbed…

If an album sounds noisy, harsh, and just thumps to the point that it makes you jump up and down. Then this sparks joy. When URGH by Mandy, Indiana released earlier made me go on an industrial kick so I’ve been listening to the genre’s past works. So, it was auspicious timing when their single…

Boards of Canada (who aren’t even from Canada!) are one of the most renowned electronic groups from the underground and Scotland (not Canada by the way). Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin changed what IDM can be when they released their debut album, Music Has a Right to Children as that is one of my favorite…

This one was giving high praise by Anthony Fantano from the Needledrop, so I gave this one the old college try as this was the first time I’ve ever heard of her. She started out in music during the 2000s, but also dipped her toes in acting. Her music career is vast, but To Whom…

I’ve already talked about her, but she’s worth mentioning again. Me talking about her would be such a drop in the pop bucket as her name is well renowned at this point with the success of her first two albums (the latter Guts being my favorite) and now it’s safe to say her third is…

So, telling you where this musical group resides would not exude confidence in me since Tinariwen are made up of Tuareg people, which are a nomadic group from the northern Saharan-Africa region who are Islamic. I knew jack about them before writing this post. Me looking into this band, while I am unfamiliar with the…

So, when this album cover came my way on Bandcamp, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of retro 8 bit throwback. It looks very video game inspired in its Wimmelbilderbuch of all these characters and objects clashing together for space on the canvas. After listening to it, it’s not what…

There was this band from Montreal named Ought. They were hitting it up in the underground indie scene for a solid ten years. All of a sudden, vocalist Tim Darcy and bass guitarist Ben Stidworthy decides to branch out on good terms and go for a new name with percussionist Evan Cartwright. It didn’t sound…
