Les Ailes – How To Greet A Praying Mantis
Loaded with the kind of liquid chord changes that make all distractions turn to dust, Portland based artist Les Ailes (Rylie DeGarmo) creates subtle jazz-infused folk soundscapes in which less is always more, and where every melodic twist and turn hits with devastating clarity. Seattle born DeGarmo began her recording career working with her musicianContinue reading “Les Ailes – How To Greet A Praying Mantis”

Modern Nature – No Fixed Point In Space
Jack Cooper first came to my attention when Ultimate Painting played my local record shop South back in 2015. I traced back from that bands beautiful post-VU indie to his earlier work with Mazes, and then let him guide me into whole new worlds of sound with the fluid line-ups and sonic shifts of hisContinue reading “Modern Nature – No Fixed Point In Space”
Seablite – Lemon Lights
Let me start by saying right off the bat that I’m not sure there’s a band out there right now as cool as San Francisco indie four-piece Seablite. It’s incredibly exciting when the songs, sound, vision and style all come together as they have in the lead up to their new album Lemon Lights. SinceContinue reading “Seablite – Lemon Lights”

Red Pants – Not Quite There Yet
The art and music of Jason Lambeth has been a constant presence in my life since I discovered his band Red Pants through their 2022 album When We Were Dancing, released via Bay Area DIY tape label Paisley Shirt Records. Working in collaboration with fellow Madison, Wisconsin resident Elsa Nekola, the duo have spent theContinue reading “Red Pants – Not Quite There Yet”
Cindy – Standard Candle Demos
If I was to be sent to a desert island for the remainder of my stint here on Earth and was allowed just one album for company, this is the one I would choose, no question. There is something incredibly comforting about the thought of knowing that this would be the only music I couldContinue reading “Cindy – Standard Candle Demos”
Dancer – As Well
These days, I find myself falling in and out of love with post-punk. Maybe it’s over-familiarisation or just me being too tired to be angry enough to enjoy it fully, but something really has to grab my attention if I am to step away from the jangle and get my punk stomp back on. StepContinue reading “Dancer – As Well”
