Wearing your idols literally on the credits of your album might be considered derivative for some, but for Capsula it’s the only way.  This trio of self confessed gigantic David Bowie fans- would hire a Mr. Tony Visconti, producer of  The Thin White Dukes’ greatest moments, to produce their new release Solar Secrets.  Martin Guervara […]

[rating=6.00] Rubblebucket, a fast rising seven piece from Brooklyn (by way of Vermont/Massachusetts), manage to combine the best of 80’s mainstream pop (think Madonna, Hall & Oates) with indie rock creativity/weirdness producing engaging music that is hard to define but easy to enjoy.

[rating=8.00] With B-Room, Dr. Dog has begun the process of highlighting various aspects of the densely crafted sound they’ve developed over their decade-plus together. Like their previous efforts, recorded in their own self-designed and constructed recording studio (newly rebuilt from its Meth Beach predecessor), the Philly sextet bring melody to the forefront on songs like […]

[rating=7.00] Mike Doughty’s latest release, the unwieldy title of which will be abbreviated here as Circles, is much more than a re-hash of Soul Coughing tunes. This is a redemptive, personal album and there’s a lengthy and often unnerving back story to how Doughty arrived at this collection of his once-shunned songs. Here’s a short […]
