Earlier this week, The Black Keys Instagram was infiltrated by comedian David Cross and his fictional organization Dads Interested in Choosing our Kids Songs, or D.I.C.K.S for short. The video pleads the viewer to not go see The Black Keys on their “Dropout Boogie” tour which kicked off last night (July 9) at the MGM […]

New York’s Dash Hammerstein borrows a page out of the David Byrne textbook on the latest 808-driven single “Let it Grow”, serving up a seemingly light-hearted head bobber full of tongue-in-cheek lyrics to shed light on big ideas in a sneakily tricky pop package. While the lyrics address a society whose opposing sides grow increasingly inflexible by […]

Delicate Steve – “I Can Fly Away” Steve’s breezy and virtuosic playing has only gotten better, and his ability to captivate with these guitar-driven instrumental jams should have the same hold on the public as Khruangbin, or at least the same hold on college kids cramming for finals. The difference might be that Delicate Steve […]

We’ve all seen a film that drew us in so profoundly that we longed to see it again and again — or, at the very least, find a way to appreciate it for just a little while more. If your favorite film does not have a sequel, there may be other forms of entertainment that […]

The steady stream of releases Neil Young has been issuing over the last couple of years can be daunting, even for his most devoted fans. But there are some real advantages to experiencing the Canadian’s prolific nature, in terms of both archive titles and new releases. In fact, the latest title, Toast, offers the chance […]

Chris Antonik, the blues-rock guitar wielding singer-songwriter from Canada, has just gone through a five-year process of personal growth and self-compassion building — and he wears his stories on his sleeve across the 14-track Morningstar, out August 5th via Second Half Records, in partnership with Moon Dog Music (PRE-ORDER).

DYLYN is the moniker for Canadian artist Gwendolyn Lewis’ multi-genre music, and she released the EP Bring on the Blues via Nettwerk this Spring, and while the collection shows a wide range of influences and traditions, the prevailing currents are Rock-influenced, confessional, and reflective.

Yet, as we have often learned, labels are just […]

The title track serving as […]

In a flurry of steel guitar and raucous drum beats, Americana renaissance man Jim Lauderdale kicks off Game Changer—his 35th full-length album—with “That Kind Of Life (That Kind Of Day),” a rollicking ode to what Jim calls “the sentiment and wishes for others to have a good life.” Lauderdale had the instrumental twin guitar/steel hook […]

Don’t let “Ochre” the latest shoegazey indie-rock single from LA’s up-and-coming Goon, fool you with its moony vocals and vibrant, dusky backdrop of comforting guitar chords, droning synths, and enveloping warm blanket of a ride cymbal. There’s an underlying darkness to the song; apocalyptic images, destruction, and even (possibly?) malicious aliens. Despite dealing with anxiety-inducing themes, “Ochre”, is a […]
