Reflecting on the Acclaimed: Blonde Redhead’s “23”
Since their debut in 1995, Blonde Redhead has been evolving, and without sacrificing any of their originality, their style has increased into an aspect that is progressively more melodic and suitably decorous. While the changes are somewhat subtle between each of their albums, the transitions are...

REVIEW: Shiina Ringo – Heisei Fuzoku
It’s hard to judge an album without basing it on the context of the artist’s career. After Shiina Ringo put out her “last” album, Karuki Zaamen Kuri no Hana (translated: Kalk, Semen, Chestnut Flower), or her last before creating Tokyo Jihen, I didn’t believe a greater pop album could be made. In...

Blackfield
Imagine inviting one of your favorite musicians to play in your country only to end up collaborating with them in what eventually becomes an ongoing project. Though already an Israeli pop/rock star, Aviv Geffen experienced just that when he invited Porcupine Tree to play in Israel. Because...

MUSIC DOWNLOADS: Polysics
For some, like myself, the Japanese noise scene is full of music that isn’t that enjoyable, and the Japanese pop scene is usually too fake. It’s strange that something right in between could be so enjoyable. Aside from being 20% noise and 30% j-pop, Polysics are about 30% new wave and 20% punk....

MUSIC DOWNLOADS: Camille
If only American radio knew that pop music could be real music. It seems that any good pop in America takes second seat to the likes of boy bands and Madonna, even in the post boy-band era, certainly long after the Madonna-era. This does not seem to hold true in most other countries, certainly…
