slenderbodies, “the one”

autumn is here | september 2018, round 2
If you thought the first half of the month had insane amounts of fun new videos, then you'd be hard pressed to say any different of the second half of the month. So while everyone else is singing their praises to Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends", we will...

On September 28th, New York-based trio Isla Invisible - comprised of Rebecca Adorno, Julian Brau, and Ryan Correira - released four track collection EP1, and we've got some thoughts. From the first, slow, almost trepidatious lines of initial track "Pillow", EP1 seems...

sunshine riot’s playlist for over-privileged weirdo kids
A common theme here is that a lot of the music that influences and inspires us is pretty weird and catchy. This taught us that its okay to do whatever we want and write however we feel. We’re lucky that it happens to be catchy enough to remember! Play on shuffle or in...

magic bronson, “evil plans”
Magic Bronson has always been a thorn in our side, though not for reasons you'd assume based on that comment. No, the Los Angeles-based alt-dance duo began to dazzle us at SXSW 2017, and we haven't been able to knock a single song they've released since. Now, they're...
cnjr, “ansible”
PNW-based CNJR (kon-jer) creates a soundscape like no other, drawing from multiple genres for a sound that is theatric, brooding, and alive in all of its synth-infused glory. An instrumental masterpiece, we find ourselves drawn in by the hip-hop aspects of the track,...
