Good vibes, stellar grooves and catchy lyrics; this has become the epitome of a Moon Taxi record over the years, and the band’s latest album, Let the Record Play, fits that mold. You're in for an album that gives you everything you'd expect from Moon Taxi, and more. The band shows that it’s possible to roll jam band elements into their groovy indie pop/rock sound. That jam band feeling really stands out in the track, “Moving to the City”. The song has this groove that could b

Paul Trygstad has a flair for the dramatic. As In Details, his on stage persona, his sets reach a crescendo with a nine minute epic in which he serenades a mannequin head named Matilda... and sometimes she sings back. That dramatism seeps through In Details' second EP release, A Series of Tiny Demises. Though it may not reach the ludicrous heights of “Cincinnati, OH” from his freshman outing Things You Should Tell Me, ASOTD is a top to bottom solid release that finds In Detai

Sophomore outings can be a tricky business, especially when they come on the heels something as assured as BØRNS 2016 debut Dopamine. With Blue Madonna, BØRNS doesn’t quite recapture the original’s effortless sense of cool, instead offering something more moody and complex but ultimately slightly less satisfying. Of course, it’s tough to follow the expectations set by “Electric Love” and its playing-in-a-commercial-every-five-minutes ubiquity. What’s most surprising (and ref

Django Django has been producing catchy, creative, synth driven art rock that blends genres like no other band since they arrived on the scene in 2012. They saw massive success from their first self-titled album, and show no sign of slowing down. The British quartet released their third full-length album, Marble Skies, to begin 2018, a year that has already seen a lot of excellent releases. And Marbles Skies does not disappoint; it wouldn't be surprising to see it on a few en

It’s been 11 years since MGMT released their debut album Oracular Spectacular and dominated the indie-pop scene with huge hits like "Kids," "Time to Pretend," and "Electric Feel." It’s also been 11 years since MGMT has tried to distance themselves from the psych-pop hits that made them known in the first place. With Congratulations in 2010 and their self-titled in 2013, their fan-base has seemed to dwindle. MGMT didn’t want to make the music their fans and their label wanted

What’s wrong with us? Humans, I mean. Why can’t we seem to get our shit together? Seems like a loaded question, but it’s a question that haunts us - it’s part of our our nature to explore ourselves and find out what it means to be human. Where do we look for answers? Earlier this year, Glasgow indie-pop group Belle and Sebastian released a trilogy of five-track EPs to try to answer this question. How to Solve Our Human Problems Parts 1-3 is a dreamy collection of synth-pop gr
