PJ Harvey – I Inside the Old Year Dying

By - Kristi Houk Recommended if you like: Kate Bush, Bjork, Radiohead, Patti Smith Polly Jean Harvey doesn’t make the same record twice.  Period. I feel the need to lead with that since there have been murmurings that her latest release, I Inside the Old Year Dying, doesn’t have enough grit as her earlier albums.

Palehound – Eye On The Bat

By - Jackie Lo For those that love: Bachelor, Jay Som, Grandaddy, Elliott Smith, Waxahatchee, Soccer Mommy The first song I ever heard from Palehound was “Holiest” off their Kitchen 7” back in 2014 and that one song made me an instant fan. Since then, their music has been a constant in my playlists with their 2015’s Dry Food, 2017’s A Place I’ll Always Go, 2019’s Black Friday, and Doomin’ […]

Asteroid City

By - Nick Adrian For fans of Wes Anderson, 50s sci-fi, and Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner cartoons There are only a few household name directors whose new film releases still feel like a major event, and Wes Anderson is a prime example. His unique and singular style (that’s been the source of inspiration for many a TikToker as of late - but don’t tell him that) only improves with each […]
