"Calexico is one of those bands, that nobody usually knows about (fully undeservedly). Their music is a fusion of mexican and american folk motives, sometimes with post-rock flavour, songs are imbued with deep melancholy, which erupts through the latin-american dancing rhytmes. Calexico belongs to..." [+] Reply

"A thoroughly, and at times willfully, strange effort from Devendra Banhart and a motley cast of artists from his loose collective of freak folk artists, Cripple Crow is probably Banhart's strongest effort (though I'd give honorable mentions to What Will We Be and Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon)..."

"This is Fates Warning's most accessible album, but don't let that make you think it's either watered down or too mainstream.

"That great big next step forward that was needed. Starker and more contemplative than her previous releases, which often valued pulsating swagger over lyrical and emotional depth, it's a surprisingly mature album full of perspective and confrontational of it's creator's own faults and fears, it's..."

"Stella Donnelly was revealed to the public with her first EP "Thrush Metal". Since then, the musician from Perth has managed to find a place on the Australian indie rock scene. On this new album, she is fighting patriarchy through acidic writing as in "Old Man" but also "Season's Greetings" and t..." [+] Reply
