In the history of film, cult classics hold a special place. Although they don’t always do well at the box office when they are first released, they eventually build devoted fan following and continue to be relevant in society. For new viewers who might have missed these films in their first runs, seeing them again […]

Some bands can be described as tireless artists who simply can’t help but create. Then, there are prolific bands containing the same restless energy, yet are also driven by the urge to share their creations with the world. Then, there is The Mommyheads, veterans of the New York City rock scene who relentlessly push themselves […]

Portugal. The Man, the genre-agnostic outfit led by the multi-faceted John Gourley, is changing before our very eyes. Not in the way this band has been since they emerged in the mid-2000s, consistently shifting sonic terrains throughout their wonderfully colorful discography, but on a more personal level. Gourley is now a father, fully independent after […]

Andrew Spencer Goldman’s Fulton Lights project returns with the four-song EP Well the Night Has Come. Written and produced by Goldman and mixed by Grammy-nominated Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu, Book of Knots) at Studio G, the EP comes after a long fallow period and marks the first Fulton Lights recordings since 2018’s Moonwalking into the […]

The record industry’s shift away from vinyl in the late ’80s and ’90s did a real disservice to live albums.

The tour begins amid the 25th anniversary of the band’s seminal Kid A LP, and is promising to […]

Rounding out our Unwound showcase for the week, for today’s Weirdo Wednesday, we’re serving up the official video for “Radio Gra” off their brilliant final album, Leaves Turn Inside You. An eerily atmospheric and all-consuming listening experience, the album captured the band at their experimental peak, channeling the moody, arty vibes that post-punk forefathers Wire […]

Quixote emerged in 2007 from late-night recording sessions and shared obsessions with sound. Their self-titled 2009 debut blurred lines between indie, folk, emo, psychedelia, and chamber pop, marrying organic instrumentation with cinematic dynamics. Founding members Joe Stulpin (vocals, guitar) and Evan Murphy (drums) join Justin Demers (previously bass, now lead guitar) to deliver a fermented […]

Blue Tomorrows is the recording name of songwriter and producer Sarah Nienaber. Her third album, Weather Forever, gathers sonic experiments made over several years and two landscapes. On a cosmic scale, acoustic and electric melt into each other: gentle, babbling electronics, synth hugs, opaque guitars, and massive reverb cumuli live in blissful harmony with acoustic […]

What do you get when you cross Smell the Glove-era Spinal Tap with a load of 1975 Ted Nugent, a henry of early ‘70s Lemmy Kilmister, and an 8 ball of mid-‘80s Tommy Lee, then dress the band up in peak “Macho Man” Randy Savage garb, surround them with alluring ballerinas, and give them all […]
