"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

"There isn't anybody in hip-hop (or any other genre, for that matter) who puts words together like Roc Marciano. And the production is surprisingly experimental - I don't remember a hip-hop album on which the drums were less prominent than they are here. Anyone who dismisses Roc Marciano as a Mobb..." [+] Reply
"These guys are good. These guys are very good. The debut album by Walk The Moon really shows that these guys are something special.
