250 Word Album Review: Sassparilla – Pasajero // Hullabaloo
Sassparilla’s Pasajero // Hullabaloo is one of the most intriguing records you will hear all year. With an incredible amount of versatility and swagger it keeps you interested and survives repeat listens; actually, it requires them. The inspirations are from every … Continue reading
250 word album review: Jake Bellows – New Ocean
Jake Bellows disappeared after the last Neva Dinova record You May Already Be Dreaming then, seemingly out of nowhere a solo record, New Ocean, popped up. With New Ocean it seems Bellows really is in his wheelhouse, relaxed and … Continue reading
250 word album review: Allison Weiss – Remember When EP
It’s pretty damn hard to not like the Remember When EP by Allison Weiss. The pop hooks are undeniable and it has just enough grit from the garage to have an underground feel while still being a strong pop collection. The songs are … Continue reading

This Kansas City group simply has a solid rock sound, they don’t break eardrums or serenade you to sleep but instead tread in the middle ground. It goes down smooth never being hard to swallow while not being offensive or … Continue reading
250 Word Album Review: Anders Parker – There’s A Bluebird In My Heart
Anders Parker flies just under the radar the way many great indie acts have to now. With a style similar to Jim James of My Morning Jacket (but not that terrible solo album James released) he could easily be exposed … Continue reading
Album at a glance: See Through Dresses – See Through Dresses
In the vein of The Cure, Joy Division and Interpol, Omaha’s See Through Dresses debut album is a stellar showcase of how a dated sound can still be productive. Having male and female lead vocalists help to make this record … Continue reading

250 Word Album Review: Ashley Raines & The New West Revue – Blush EP
Ashley Raines returns with the Blush EP that is every bit as dark and brooding as his last release, One Trick Mule. Raines summons the honest and unfiltered voice inside us all by pulling no punches and being as straight-forward … Continue reading
