Are you ‘happy’?

Willoughby Thom | Thursday, October 22, 2020

To most people it’s spooky season, but to me, it’s Oingo Boingo season. During the month of October, I listen to Oingo Boingo almost every day to get into the Halloween spirit. Not every song is necessarily “Halloweeny,” but their dark-humored spirit and mystic undertones get you in the spirit for this very festive holiday.

Vincenzo Torsiello Drops Hot New Single: ‘Garbage Boy’

Jacob Neisewander | Wednesday, April 8, 2020

With so much couch-time, folks across the country have been spending much more time inside enjoying music and art. Up-and-coming musical artist Vincenzo Torsiello, on the other hand, has been making it. Last week, Torsiello released his first punk-rock infused jazz single “Garbage Boy” on streaming platforms everywhere. Stuck indoors but committed to making new

Meet Mumford & Sons at the “Delta”—album review

Elizabeth Dundon | Monday, January 28, 2019

You may know Mumford & Sons as the “banjo band.” They prominently catapulted to fame back in 2010 with their debut album “Sigh No More,” bringing in new, yet old, sounds into the mainstream alternative rock stratosphere. The unique group’s earlier hits like “Little Lion Man” and “I Will Wait” always grabbed my attention. Whenever I

Shabazz Palaces continues to ‘Shine a Light’ for hip hop

John Darr | Monday, May 1, 2017

In 2009, the hip hop landscape was fracturing. Spiraling in the wake of landmark records like Kanye West’s synth-laden “Graduation” and Lil Wayne’s southern hip hop blockbuster “Tha Carter III,” artists were reaching for samples and sounds that would further shake the foundation of the genre. In 2010, Waka Flocka Flame would push crunk into

Maggie Rogers: A natural talent

Matthew Lanus | Wednesday, February 22, 2017

Imagine if Pharrell Williams gave you the highest praise he could put into words before you even released your major label release. It would be pretty hard to surpass that feeling; it would be even harder to create an album under the pressure of that praise. That is the problem Maggie Rogers faced upon releasing her

‘Process’ is a powerful tribute to Sampha’s growth

Owen Lane | Wednesday, February 15, 2017

Sampha’s been around. At 28, Sampha is practically middle-aged for the music industry, particularly in the borderlands of hip-hop, techno and R&B he inhabits. He’s the same age as James Blake, a fellow British musician that he evokes often on his debut LP “Process.” However, Blake’s been a hot name in music since his debut

Enemies search for closure on ‘Valuables’

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, January 18, 2017

Goodbyes are difficult to execute. We want to depart on a pleasant note, but the somber reality of separation looms just beneath the surface. Reconciling hope and sadness in an effective closing statement requires sensitivity and care. When it comes to the endgame, every detail matters. The Irish post-rock group Enemies built a reputation on

Local Natives Hit Home with “Sunlit Youth”

Christian Bunker | Thursday, September 22, 2016

Every so often an album comes out that gets everyone talking — not just because of how good it is, but because it is so radically different from everything else. Such albums sound as if they came from another planet, or at least David Byrne’s basement. The new Local Natives album, “Sunlit Youth,” is not

Glass Animals take one step forward, two steps back

Christian Bunker | Thursday, September 8, 2016

The Oxford, England-based quartet Glass Animals is one of those bands that evade easy categorization into a genre. Equal parts indie rock and electronica, their music often sounds positively tribal yet owes a clear debt to the Bristol trip-hop scene of the nineties. However, no matter what genre you put them in, their music is

‘Beat the Champ’ Rings True

Daniel O'Boyle | Monday, April 13, 2015

A Mountain Goats album is almost never just a collection of songs. Almost every work by John Darnielle’s project has been a concept album focusing on themes such as a troubled marriage or Darnielle’s youth. On “Beat the Champ,” the latest Mountain Goats offering, there’s a new focus: the world of professional wrestling. It seems
