Amoeba Hollywood

The kind of album that I would of been in love with in almost every stage of my life. A darkwave synth album full of all the goth sadness and dance pop that I love. Timeless and perfect and everything I love.

I love when a new band takes all my favorite genres of the 90s and mashes them up together. It is like they were raised inside my brain. Shoegaze and grunge mixed with Twee pop to create a super catchy and fun swirly album.

I know everything is going to be OK when I have a new Kelly Lee Owens album in my life. It is always a fun ride when you dive into one of her albums. Dreamy electronica that I can lose myself in. Like a euphoric musical blanket that you can wrap yourself up in.

An absolutely gorgeous album from my new favorite artist. I love it more and more after every listen. Emotionally complex pop that somehow sounds like nothing you have ever heard before but also comfortably familiar.

Pinball (CD)

MIKE
MIKE has been on a crazy generational run. This project is just ridiculous how hard it goes. It's no small achievement the way he's bringing together worlds that may seem like polar opposites via music. No performative bs, just genuine and undeniable good energy. Read more

Forever, Ya Girl (LP)

keiyaA
Recently released on wax! I still listen to this album like it just came out. The lyrics are moving as they maintain an element of playfulness and a strong sense of honesty. The production mirrors this lyrical approach. Incredible body of work from this virtuoso. Also there's a really clever re-imagining of 94 East's 'When You See Me' on here titled 'Do Yourself A Favor'. Read more

2MM DON'T JUST STAND THERE! (LP)

Sideshow

I am all about Jambands and I love to dance (poorly). I am also a DJ for an Internet Radio Station based around the band Goose.

The Chateau (LP)

Orebolo
Goose shows off their acoustic side with their new project, Orebolo, providing your relaxing fall soundtrack with their first ever studio release. Beautiful vocals and guitar work melded together with pristine production and the amazing songwriting abilities of Rick Mitarotonda and Matt Campbell will instantly send you away to that peaceful autumn bonfire. You don't want to miss out on these incredible vibes. Read more

How to Dream In Color (LP)

Lotus
Lotus is back in full force with their 2024 release, "How to Dream in Color" and it will make you dance your socks off. Incredible guitar work perfectly complements the driving beats. You won't be able to sit still listening to this one, it will have you up movin' and groovin' not even thirty seconds into the first track. Drawing influences from jazz fusion, Drum n' Bass, and prog rock, this album is unstoppable from start to finish. Read more

Gris Gris (LP)

Dr. John
It's the hour of the wolf. The wind is rapping at your door. Dr. John, the Night Tripper, spins on your record player, with his liquor-guzzling voice-can you imagine the stench?! He's a warlock DJ'ing his set straight from the underworld. The voodoo drums start pounding. Or is it your heart beating? Something wicked this way comes. By the crack of dawn, you're gone, kinda like the dust, taken by whatever omen that was conjured up. You shouldn't have played his record, but you did. Read more

Of Rivers and Religion (LP)

John Fahey
You wanna talk about Americana, this one hijacks the definition, lifting the swamp fog as you crawl through murky waters on a raft, catching clearing visions of a prehistoric USA. Read more

Dusty in Memphis (LP)

Dusty Springfield
It's 8 a.m. and you step out of the bathroom, fixing your earring. He isn't even fully dressed yet! Sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands on his face. He's bawling, not knowing how he's gonna tell his wife he's leaving her. And what about the kids?! Little Timmy's soccer practice. Who's gonna drive him now? You hug him, patting him on the back while you check the time on your wristwatch, palm up. You're gonna be late for the hairdresser's, thinking you should dump him. You should. Cue the next track. Read more

Siembra (LP)

Willie Colón and Ruben Blades
Piercing lyrics as Papá sits you on his lap and talks to you about the birds and the bees and guayabas and gente plástica and no-no good Pedro Navaja and Latin American culture encapsulated. Whether you're Mexican, Colombiano, from Puerto Rico, or simply a curious tourist traversing, you get your crash course lesson, and you get it fast. Read more

4K + Blu-Ray (BLU)

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
It's a ballad with stanzas, out of folk tradition. By the time Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" steps in, your heart's on the floor, down a raft of tears. Read more
