Album Reviews

Ryan Adams : RockNRoll

You like Ryan Adams and you know it.

Wow. A hipster band that is as good as people say they are.

Shins : Chutes Too Narrow

No experimentation here, just a classic, timeless pop album.

The Dirtbombs : Dangerous Magical Noise

The more you listen to this album, the cooler you get.

Keep your labels away from their art.

Seriously, what’s with the suit of armor?

Beulah : Yoko

Beulah’s fourth album pushes them into epic status.
