Honduras @ Rough Trade

Honduras at Rough Trade. Photo by Ysabella Monton When I make it to Rough Trade well past 9, people are still lingering around for the end of the shop’s day-long event full of performances and DJ sets. At the end of this year’s Record Store Day, Honduras closed out their tour with a hometown show...

Stonefield "Sister"

Life is tough, and sometimes you need a dense track to complement that type of outlook. If you've found yourself in need of this type of song lately, then search no further than Stonefield's track "Sister." It's the perfect descriptor for a quartet of Aussie sisters who have been playing together...

Future Islands "The Far Field"

“It’s not easy, just being human, and the lights and the smoke and screens,” sings Sam Herring on Future Islands’ latest record, The Far Field. It isn’t. Our lives are a sloppy amalgamation of highs and lows, love and hate, obsession and apathy. In essence, this record faces this reality head on:...

Vanbot "Siberia"

Vanbot's latest full-length Siberia has arrived, and though it immediately seems like the ultimate relaxation record, it was created by a musician far out of her comfort zone. After getting rid of an entire album because she was unhappy with the end result, Swedish musician Ester Ideskog brought...

Roland Tings "Each Moment a Diamond"

True to its title, Roland Tings' newest collection is sparkly and shined to perfection. To create this album, the Berlin-based, Melbourne-native producer worked through an obsessive routine where he repeated the same simple actions every day, like the route he took the studio or what he ate for...

How EDM Helped Me Heal from Anxiety

It's June 2016 and I'm testing how low I can get before breaking down. I've worked until midnight and gotten up at four to churn out more writing assignments. Seeking comfort from the stress, I reach for the chips in my cupboard, eat more than I intended, panic, and make myself throw up. Unable to...

Wayfarers "KINGS"

Wayfarers' newest track "KINGS" is an anthem of empowerment, specifically that which can be found through music. With short claps throughout and a catchy yet minimalistic backing, it's impossible to not get a surge of confidence while listening to "KINGS." It's a throwback for many listeners to...

ZZ Ward feat. Joey Purp "The Deep"

After not seeing many releases from ZZ Ward since her 2015 EP Love and War, her new single "The Deep" is a refreshing sound for sore ears. "The Deep" finds Ward returning to her roots (alongside MC Joey Purp), channeling the blues and soul sound she's known so well for. Her throaty crooning and...

Milo Greene's "Never Ender"

New music from Milo Greene is always exciting, and the group has been actively building up to their next great release after 2015's Control. The quartet released their latest EP Never Ender through Nettwerk Music Group in February, and it holds much the same energy of past releases: a dark and...

Cotillon "Alex's Room"

Starting off with distorted guitar and indistinguishable background conversation, Cotillon's latest single "Alex's Room" sets listeners up for relaxation and nostalgia with this chill, fuzzy garage rock tune. It also may have listeners wondering, who is Alex, and why is anyone in his room? The song...

Dirty Projectors "Dirty Projectors"

While the music on Dirty Projectors new album is a breath of fresh, engaging air, it's impossible to ignore the bewildering terrible lyrics, all focused on Amber Coffman's recent departure and solo career.

The Radio Dept. @ Union Transfer

The Radio Dept, with it's combination of mellow haze and hypnotic beats, is a particular live experience that hits somewhere right in between stress-free and somewhat imaginatively demanding.
