On the edge of the West End, where the fringes of Richmond bleed into the sprawl of Henrico, I came across what could only be described as a warehouse -- jutting out of the asphalt and framed in a wild tangle of dogwoods. A door hung open on rusted hinges; laughter...
The Norfolk avant-garage outfit, You’re Jovian, creates a sonic dreamstate with the release of their full-length, They Were Selected and Divided. The eight tracks encompass dynamic fluctuations without abandoning the central sound of stormy euphoria. Elliot Malvas has come quite a long way since writing the first tunes for first You’re Jovian in...
Imagine a musician, hobbled by a leg injury, locking himself up in a remote shack for a week to complete a new record, and now imagine that man is RVA’s own Gull.

Developing short films, covering everyone from the Beach Boys to songs from the Rocky...

The good folks in Richmond's own Opin dropped a seriously jammable self titled record last week and they're offering it streaming for free through the end of the week. We've been hyped on this record for a bit (and you can read all about there here) and the good news is the release is as solid as we could have hoped. Check it out below: There's...
