Change In The Air
"I’m not the most patient man ever. I was like, ‘How long’s is this gonna take?’ And Todd and everyone were like, ‘Uh, about four hours?’ So I was sitting there for four hours every night for a week, and people had to feed me beer and cigarettes. It was pretty weird."

Album Review: Animal Collective - Centipede Hz
Centipede HZ finds itself in a strange place between Animal Collective’s older work and the ever-increasing reliance on synths, samples and other electronic paraphernalia.

Splitting Time
"We got all that attention really early on and we were really grateful for that, but we never really saw ourselves as being a buzz band."

Album Review: Split Seconds - You’ll Turn Into Me
The album is filled with the brooding, punchy country/indie rock the five-piece have polished to a clear sheen over the years.

Album Review: Kynan Tan - Rætina
Rætina is a pretty tame taste that barely scratches the surface of just how interesting and surprising his work can be.
