April 2, 2010

Last summer’s My Guilty Pleasure from Sally Shapiro had me feeling anything but guilty. Like a nordic wood nymph, yes, but not guilty.

March 5, 2010

New material from Neon Indian is most welcome, even though it’s only been 5 months since the release of NI’s debut, Psychic Chasms. Still, it seems like Alan Palomo (the man behind the Indian as well as Vega) is making next week’s drop of “Sleep Paralyst” kind of a big deal. Maybe it is. Or [...]
