Chandler Strutz – Sub Pop’s Avi Buffalo released its sophomore album, At Best Cuckold, back in September. There is some confusion to whether to say “he” or “they” when referring to Avi Buffalo, founded and fronted by songwriter Avi Zahner-Isenberg
Adrienne Pollock – The Ruins from Planes on Paper is the perfect answer to their first EP. The first EP, The East End Session, is a concept work, a string of songs that take you on a wondrous and emotional journey, impeccably recorded in a live session in Yakima.
Abe Beeson – I love K Records. OK, I don’t have most of their catalog. I’m a Beat Happening, Mirah, Dub Narcotic Sound System, Halo Benders fan for the most part. But every release I’ve ever heard on the label is undeniably cool, because the integrity of the art is audible.
Willa Kiernen – Three years after his well-received Fever Dream album dropped, Alias, co-founder of Anticon, the independent and unique avant-garde hip hop label, released his latest album, Pitch Black Prism.
Aino Vaino – There are times when I like going into an album blind, strictly looking for a good time. Hour of the Dawn from La Sera does not disappoint this aspiration.
