I loved the shit out of “I Love LA”, a slice of scummy retro Glam-Rock, when youthful Los Angeles based quartet Starcrawler dropped it late last year. They’re back, and still mining ’70s sleaze, both musically and visually, with a new single and video titled “Chicken Woman”. The song brings[…]
I can admit it, a lot of the shit I post here tends to be “feel bad music” in one way or another. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like to get down with a feel good jam now and then. The Summer season just happens to be the perfect[…]
Is it possible for something to be chilly and sultry at the same time? Because that’s exactly how “1:00AM”, the new single and video from Kentucky bred Shoegaze revivalist Vyva Melinkolya, sounds to me. “1:00AM” is taken from the self-titled full length album she released earlier this year.

I’ve been listening to ‘Everything’s Fine’, the collaborative LP by Brooklyn based Rap superhero Jean Grae and Detroit bred producer/emcee Quelle Chris, a whole lot lately. The dirty Jazz beats and abstract poetry of “Gold Purple Orange” make me think this is what Digable Planets would, or should, sound like if[…]
A few weeks back I went to see Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated film ‘Isle of Dogs’. I don’t particularly care for dogs, but I enjoyed the film. This isn’t too surprising since Anderson is one of my favorite modern filmmakers and has consistently amazed me throughout his career. Though it has[…]
Never one to rest on her laurels (which include dropping a universally praised album ‘1992 Deluxe’ last year and throwing soup on a racist subway rider) Harlem bred rapper Destiny Frasqueri, otherwise known as Princess Nokia, is back and on some broken-hearted depression-wave Hot Topic Emo-Goth shit on her new[…]
I know. I know. I never update the fucking blog and it’s been ages since I did a Monday Magick post! I kinda doubt anybody is even reading any more so my excuses are probably going to fall on deaf ears, but my mental health has been erratic at best[…]
Just in time to be severely late for Valentines Day Brooklyn based Punk quartet Surfbort drops a video dedicated to spreading love, breaking people’s realities open, and taking over corporate America so they can make art, have fun, friendship, and music forever for their brief but infectious new single “Les[…]
I added “Delete Delete” by Beyoncé and Run the Jewels collaborator Jordan Asher “BOOTS” Cruz to my Spotify workplace playlist when it was released a couple of weeks ago and promptly forgot it existed. Then, last night, it dropped in the middle of a twelve hour graveyard shift and made[…]
Warning! Hot Chip co-founder Alexis Taylor’s “Beautiful Thing” is the artsy Disco heatrock we all deserve to light up this dreary season between Winter and Spring! “Beautiful Thing” is the first single and title track from Taylor’s forthcoming fourth (I guess…his discography is weird) solo album, out April 20th on[…]
I love all of of Montreal’s music. But there’s always at least one song, if not a handful of them, from every one of their albums that really speaks to me. “Plateau Phase/No Careerism No Corruption” is definitely one of those songs. Yeah, it’s ear-catching with its blend of booming[…]
“Will He”, a piano-fueled Trip-Hop meets Trap slow jam from YouTube personality turned musician George “joji” Miller, was easily one of 2017’s most memorable tracks for me. So you can imagine I’m quite pleased that Canadian beatmaker Ryan Hemsworth has delivered a fresh remix that not only extends the tune’s[…]
