Music
Gazillion (ft. J Dilla)
MF DOOM passed away (RIP) and we’re not ever going to be done remembering him through his music.
Taken Back
Rich Ruth’s I Survived, It’s Over is too zonked to parse genre distinctions finely. Call it ‘psychedelic.’
Yusawa Experience
The true thrust of Precipitation’s Glass Horizon is chill, New Age ambient, but have a listen to house banger “Yuzawa Experience.”
Claire Rousay and More Eaze: Never Stop Texting Me
It takes two experimental musicians to TANGO on Never Stop Texting Me. Truly Autotune Never Gets Old.
Loz Goddard: Balloon Tree Road
Loz Goddard’s latest full-length Balloon Tree Road honors the Madchester tradition with a club-ready contribution to 21st-century breakbeat science.
Family Name
Beat Radio returns to the airwaves with Real Love, the first release from the Brian Sendrowitz-led band since 2016.
Thin Thing
For diehard fans of Radiohead, The Smile’s debut album A Light for Attracting Attention is obligatory.
Somergloom and Doom
On 27 August, 2022 darkness descended on Boynton Yards as titans of postmetal Junius headlined a daylong bill of doom at Somergloom.
Altar of Tammy
Not so infrequently artists describe their music best. Mary Lattimore and Paul Sukeena keep it simple.
Clamb Comes Alive
On 26 August, 2022 the Midway Cafe hosted Clamb, Boston’s own earthmagik peacelords, for a night of mind-bottling krautjazz. City of Four and Lon opened.
Mt. Surreal
Disco Doom is nothing if not patient on the superlative title track of its forthcoming LP Mt. Surreal, working through the musical motifs like a chimp on Thorazine solving a Rubik’s Cube.
Green/Blue: Offering
Offering offers taut, trim punk and post-punk rockery with a minimum of fuss from Green/Blue.
Synthetic Fire
Garcia Peoples continues to defy the odds for indie bands (really, any band) by releasing a high quantity of high quality material that actually sells.
The Sun XiX
The Copenhagen-based ambient artist Sofie Birch cultivates a rainforest of cool electronica exotica on Holotropica.
Aldous Harding: Warm Chris
Warm Chris finds Aldous Harding officially planted within the airy and sometimes arid soil of an indie pop career.
