Spokane, Washington’s finest musical export, has officially broken the audio matrix. Hailing from the gloomy, grunge-soaked Pacific Northwest before transplanting her genius to Los Angeles, Deb Never has crafted an absolute kick ass record with ‘ARCADE‘. The record is a musically majestic of moody, nostalgia-laced alternative pop that feels like a neon-lit house party happening […]
Dancing On The Wall by Muna
MUNA’s fourth studio effort, Dancing On The Wall, is a shimmering, synth-drenched masterpiece that proves being well-adjusted is overrated but being well-produced is mandatory. Emerging from the glitter-cannon blast of their 2022 self-titled record, the trio has returned with a “pop world built with teeth,” trading some of their previous optimism for a deliciously anxious […]
High Speed by The High Curbs
These Chino legends have spent a decade as the kings of the backyard mosh pit, but ‘High Speed‘ sounds like they finally traded in the dented van for something with a turbo engine and working AC. It’s loud, it’s fast, and it’s got enough hooks to catch a week’s worth of dinner at the Santa […]
The Cost of Living by Somni
On their new album, ‘The Cost of Living‘ , Somni has managed to craft a sound so pillowy and lush that it makes real life feel a bit too high-definition and loud. It’s “lo-fi” in the way a five-star spa is relaxing as fuck, every crackle, hiss, and muffled vocal feels like it was placed there by […]
Orange by White Fence
Tim Presley has returned with ‘Orange‘, an album that feels like finding a vintage Rickenbacker buried in a time capsule, only to realize it was actually tuned by a space-traveling wizard. Currently out now on Drag City Records, ‘Orange‘ is pure “Shellodic” pop, a term Presley coined that perfectly captures the feeling of a melody […]
CARRGIRRL by CARR
CARR has officially entered her final form with ‘CARRGIRRL‘, a release that feels like a neon-lit joyride through the beautiful wreckage of your early twenties. It is a masterclass in “sarcastic alt-pop,” blending razor-sharp wit with hooks that stick to you like spilled soda on a car seat. If you’ve ever wanted a soundtrack for being […]
Tan Lines by Lavalove
Lavalove’s sophomore release out now on Pure Noise Records, ‘Tan Lines‘ is the sonic equivalent of a perfect beach day where you actually remembered to reapply sunscreen. This album is a masterclass in sun-soaked indie rock that is both nostalgic and refreshing, led by the high-energy “California Cheerleading” style vibes of frontwoman Tealarose Coy. One […]
Heaven 2 by Lala Lala
Lillie West, the creative mind behind Lala Lala, has officially traded the Midwest chill of Chicago for the sun-drenched sprawl of Los Angeles, and her latest release, Heaven 2, perfectly captures that “new city, who dis?” energy. Out now on Sub Pop Records, the album feels like a masterclass in what happens when an artist […]
Uni Boys by Uni Boys
If you’re looking for the sonic equivalent of a leather jacket that actually fits and doesn’t smell like a thrift store basement, look no further than the self-titled masterpiece from Los Angeles, California’s Uni Boys. These guys have managed to resurrect the ghost of 1979 power pop without making it feel like a tacky séance… […]
