Favorites albums of 2011
(Originally posted on Tympanogram.com on December 22, 2011) It’s hard to tell whether this was a really great year for music or if I was just paying attention more than last year. That sums up my feelings at the end … Continue reading

Album review: Priestbird – “Beachcombers”
Priestbird is the new moniker of former instrumental indie-prog outfit Tarantula A.D. It seems that tensions within the band came to a breaking point such that they didn’t feel they would be able to continue making music together. They split … Continue reading

Album review: Psychedelic Horseshit – “Laced”
For those of you out there that feel like White Fence’s release “Is Growing Faith” was a little too “mainstream” and accessible, you’ll be happy to know that Psychedelic Horseshit’s latest release, “Laced” is neither of those things. Psychedelic Horseshit … Continue reading

Album review: Colourmusic – “My ______ is Pink”
Go ahead: admit the first thing that popped into your head when you read the title. Yeah, that’s what I thought, sicko. Well that’s not how this reviewer read it at all. I read it as “My blank is Pink” … Continue reading

Album review: Colin Stetson – “New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges”
Colin Stetson is a saxophonist that is clearly out of his mind. Sax players, in my experience, are a divided lot. They usually either stay on the side of jazz or classical and never the twain shall meet. More accurately, … Continue reading

Album review: Deerhoof – “Deerhoof vs. Evil”
Deerhoof, the ultra-quirky indie math rock/pop/irony heavy band is back with an album cheekily titled “Deerhoof Vs. Evil”. To me Deerhoof is a band that I am constantly curious about. They seem to be combining things that one wouldn’t necessarily … Continue reading
Album review: The Insane Warrior – “We Are the Doorways”
Music has the ability to take on a character of its own and often the musicians that are creating it feel that they are a different person while in the studio. This much is quite true for hip-hop producer RJD2 … Continue reading
