Gauchiste – Gauchiste (Little Black Cloud Records) One of the more encouraging developments with metal has been its adherents' ability to move into more cerebral aesthetic realms without having to go the route of Malmsteen and Mastodon – because a road paved with mixolydian modes and finger-tapping is pretty much the fastest imaginable route to...

What we don’t necessarily think of when we think of wind is a terrifyingly marvelous group of young psych and free-jazz enthusiasts from...
If there's one thing that working on Strange Daze earlier this year proved to me, it's that Richmond's excellent regional music scene is not a new phenomenon. In any given year, there's a ton of great music coming out of this town, and that's just as true today as it was 30 years ago. From the long-running hardcore punk scene that's still going...
Being a college student on a campus where Top40 radio playlists are forcibly pumped into my head all day, I yearn for the chance encounter with someone who has not been listening to Nicki Minaj for three straight hours. I cherish the rare conversation I have with a fellow student about their thoughts on how bad (or good) they thought the new...
The Horrors are an excellent post-punk group from the UK, and this single comes from their second album, 2009's Primary Colors.
