Ty Segall is not the type of guy to sit on his laurels. He doesn’t put out an album and then sit, lay back and just coast on good reviews for awhile. It seems that usually by the time he puts a record out he’s already onto the next record, project, music obsession, etc. For …

Album artwork for 'Dream Wife' album by Dream Wife

Dream Wife go from “power trio” to empowering trio with the release of their eponymous debut album. The London-based, British/Icelandic trio of Rakel Mjöll (lead vocals), Alice Go (guitar and vocals) and Bella Podpadec (bass and vocals) formed Dream Wife in 2015 as a college art school project. Since then they have released two EPs, …

And pretty damn intense. But that’s not to …

Nicklas Sørensen most recently blasted dreamy, psychedelic swaths of guitar on Papir’s 2017 record V. Within that Danish three-piece psych rock outfit, Sørensen can go from post-rock stoicism to 60s fuzzed-out freak out in seconds flat. He’s erased those boundary lines that seemed to box in the “guitar hero”. Jazzy introspection, distorted wah wah, and progressive lines …

God forbid I use this phrase – but the new King Gizzard album in execution is a happening. Believe me, I want to punch myself in the stomach when I wrote that. But it’s very much a statement that sums up exactly what the Australian band have created with this album. Their grandiose gesture of …

This is also the home of one of the most exciting new bands coming out of Australia: …
