A collection of glorified outros: miffle – goodbye, world! *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐✨ | I am admittedly late to the party on this one. This album was released all the way back in September of this year, and has steadily amassed an online buzz, probably helped along by a recent glowing Anthony Fantano review. It is always heartening to see artists finally getting their flowers offContinueContinue reading “A collection of glorified outros: miffle – goodbye, world! *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Egg punk is here to stay: Snõõper – Worldwide *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Snõõper are their own universe now. Since landing with a breath of fresh air on their 2023 debut, it seems the Nashville band is more than willing to double down on their uniquely zany garage and egg punk sound. This time around though, there are some notable extensions in the mix. ForContinueContinue reading “Egg punk is here to stay: Snõõper – Worldwide *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Not ecstatic enough: Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐ | When Agriculture first began breaking onto the scene a few years back, the black metal genre was stuck in a limbo state. Gone were the exciting days of the early 2010’s Renaissance. Liturgy with their freshly-coined transcendental black metal, Deafheaven with their revelatory blackgaze, Altar of Plagues with their successfully experimental blackContinueContinue reading “Not ecstatic enough: Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Balancing brevity with big ideas: Big Thief- Double Infinity *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐✨ | The somewhat elusive folk-rockers have gone back to the drawing board, following their massive 2022 drop ‘Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You’. Not necessarily to re-invent their entire wheel or anything, but more so to dig deeper into our shared, yet individual experience of life. It somehow feels loftier inContinueContinue reading “Balancing brevity with big ideas: Big Thief- Double Infinity *ALBUM REVIEW*”

The sophomore level-up: Sabrina Carpenter – Man’s Best Friend *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Since blowing the music world wide open with her 2024 breakout record ‘Short n’ Sweet’, it has become increasingly incumbent upon Sabrina Carpenter to make good on her promises. The aforementioned release saw her dabbling in some incredibly sharp, catchy pop song-writing that presented a promising direction. It saw a sardonic lyricalContinueContinue reading “The sophomore level-up: Sabrina Carpenter – Man’s Best Friend *ALBUM REVIEW*”

King Gizzard elevate their usual jam-style: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard- Phantom Island *ALBUM REVIEW*

Oplus_131072 | ⭐⭐⭐✨ | Pre-eminent Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have embarked on a collaborative album with UK conductor and keyboardist Chad Kelly, resulting in some of their most lush and elegant compositions to date. It wasn’t out of nowhere either, it came as a result of their shared love for allContinueContinue reading “King Gizzard elevate their usual jam-style: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard- Phantom Island *ALBUM REVIEW*”

A Title Has Never Been Truer: Miley Cyrus – Something Beautiful *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | At first glance, the latest release from the polarising Miley Cyrus may seem to be another attempt by the songstress to expand her repertoire within the pigeon-hole of “pop girlie”. Too often does the expectation fall upon artists under this label to churn out singles. Appeal to the lowest common denominator, orContinueContinue reading “A Title Has Never Been Truer: Miley Cyrus – Something Beautiful *ALBUM REVIEW*”
