In many respects N*E*R*D and The Neptunes share an identity. That being said, The Neptunes have been given a respect that N*E*R*D have not; one of credence, respect and admiration within their field. With Seeing Sounds however N*E*R*D again attempts to deliver a set that equips their brand with the same level of [...]
The city of Seattle lies on a hip hop fault line. Deep underground, the volatile tectonic plates of West Coast Rap and Northwestern conscious Hip Hop grind against each other, producing unpredictable geological phenomena. One of the largest eruptions of late came in the form of Cancer Rising, the intrepid trio of MC’s [...]
Having singer Clayton Hagen previously decried a savior in sake of his hate on “The Hustle” (from The Hustle, The Prayer, The Thief) there is a tremendous weight on A Night in the Box to follow up its debut album with something as equally thoughtful and compelling. With Write a Letter the band has [...]
Pretty music is nice. Sometimes though, what you need is the rock ‘n’ roll equivalent of a spirited bar fight. In those instances, lately I have been turning to San Diego band The Muslims. For example, I popped their self titled debut EP into my car stereo this morning and by the time [...]
To introduce Coldplay as an internationally popular group would be an understatement. Dropping Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends and exceeding Platinum status in the UK within three days of its release might do well to back that up. With the album the members of Coldplay had stated that they [...]
Attempting to explain Feed The Animals and identify what succeeds or fails with the set can’t be done on the level of an album in its entirety, it’s hard to even approach each track on an individual basis considering what they are. Mashups aren’t anything new, nor is Gregg Gillis’ mix-heavy approach, but what’s [...]
My first exposure to Ghost In The Water came at Minneapolis’s Triple Rock Social Club where they opened for the fantastic M83. Though I only caught about half of their set, I was immediately impressed. The duo of spouses, Nathan and Mandy Tensen Woolery, create a complex blend of charming electronic pop – right along [...]
With ruminations of a platinum-selling first week Lil’ Wayne’s Tha Carter III may very well be the album that gives credence to his ongoing allegations that he is the best out there. His growl hasn’t softened, his rhymes are as dense as ever and Wayne may now be ready to accept the celebrity status [...]
It’s impossible to talk about Lil’ Wayne the rapper without talking about Lil’ Wayne the phenomenon. A bit of history:
Right before the turn of the century, something interesting happened in the hip hop world. Hip hop was well into the period where it was realizing its potential as a money-making force and certain [...]

Pitchfork referred to Hercules and Love Affair as “a compelling new voice in American dance music.” The act’s music is so deeply rooted in club culture that with its debut release it has retreated into club’s history to find what may be the next great sound. Surely disco is an influence, but is [...]
When it comes to Midwest hip hop, the mainstream tends to focus on Chicago (Kanye, Common, Lupe, etc.) and the underground tends to focus on Minneapolis (Atmosphere, Brother Ali, etc.). All too often lost in the shuffle is the city where these distinctions blur, the city producing some of the hottest emcees and producers [...]
From the lilting vocal harmonies of “Sun it Rises” to the final desperate cries of “Oliver James,” it is immediately apparent that Fleet Foxes’ first full length album is going to be one of the most talked about recordings of 2008. By utilizing a rich tapestry of pastoral music, stripped down melodies then rebuilt into [...]
Afternoon Records describes Haley Bonar’s new album as “like a Cormac McCarthy short story: simple on the intake, but revealing universal truths with a powerful emotional impact as it sinks in.” Never mind that McCarthy doesn’t write short stories, the quote is quite correct in establishing that Big Star demands more than just a [...]
An album loosely seeded in countless stages of pop music from the past thirty years, Santogold is a determined effort that shamelessly caters to trend while also defying its own predictability. Here are four reactions, four impressions, four takes on Santogold’s Santogold.
