Filmmaker David Fincher once said in most art, the audience knows you can do anything, so it really becomes about what DON’T you do. Istanbul-based artist Barista knows this sentiment very well and yet somehow still manages to flex such a wide range of abilities with his latest release Open Sesame, Vol 1. His last […]
If you value first rate singer/songwriter material and unique perspective, the bookends of Sam Green’s recording career the last eight years merit your attention. Green and his Time Machine project has brought together a cadre of musical talents enhancing his already considerable talents.

Presented to us with a delicate vocal and a barebones instrumental backdrop as to maximize the effect of the lyrics, “Black Box” is one of the more memorable tracks in Fredo Viola’s My New Head, but unmistakably only a single chapter in a vast, personal story that is the album in its entirety.

Restless beneath a wave of distorted – but entirely melodic – white noise, we discover a rhythm bursting with color and a verse waiting for its shot in the sunlight as Phantom Wave’s “Glower” begins to play. The groove is distinct and perhaps the most intoxicating element to behold at the onset of this track, […]
Swinging with a percussive radiance more akin to a mainstream pop track than something from a fledgling indie sensation, the title cut in Bobby Dove’s Hopeless Romantic is every bit the multidimensional sampler a lead single/music video should be.
