Psych Submersion
“We felt that after (third album) Phosphene Dream we had brought in influences that really appealed to us, and we wanted to push that further, but also integrate it with our past to make something fairly seamless."

No Compromises
“It has always been for the music, never to be rockstars, well the proof is in the pudding there for sure."

Album Review: Merchandise - Totale Nite
The genius of Totale Night is how finely tuned and balanced these incongruent elements are, and the end result is a delight to behold.

Album Review: Standish/Carlyon - Deleted Scenes
Deleted Scenes personifies dark intent and purpose, made for headphones, an immersion into a seductive silence.

Album Review: The National - Trouble Will Find Me
Every song is worth a mention, because every song complements the next. Trouble Will Find Me isn’t The National’s first success story – but it is their most effortless.

Album Review: The Handsome Family - Wilderness
Wilderness is an album that demands devoted listening; to disappear down the rabbit hole with these warped vignettes.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Seja - All Our Wires
It’s the willingness to step outside these securities that proves the largest coup.

Embracing The Insular
"It was this juggling act between writing and recording and being away. We wanted to take our time and not rush out and knock up something that was like the EP songs smooshed together."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Still Corners - Strange Pleasures
This is a world that is foreign yet seductive, hallucinogenic and intoxicating.
Reviews / Live
Live Review: ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
While the dizzying heights Source Tags & Codes brought upon the band set them up for an unfair, tumultuous fall, placing this set alongside their biggest album serves to prove that they have remained as prevalent, if not moreso, as ever.
Features / Music
Long Weekend
"It has always been very intense; the gigs are intense, and we’re in it together and we’re bonding through this experience."
