Milanese band Cyndies‘ debut album Junkyard II was released by Phantasma Disques. It is a rather enigmatic label (with a distinct visual aesthetic), which taps into the zeitgeist of no-budget music production influenced by a large variety of music genres and styles. What is refreshing about Phantasma Disques is that its artists (at least those [...]

Anyone who is a fan of dance music definitely knows who Justice is. Even those with only just a passing interest in dance music will still likely know who Justice is. I definitely fall into the former, and hold Justice’s Cross album in especially high esteem. So when it was announced earlier this year that [...]

Let’s establish one thing from the start–in the pop culture world, William Shatner is a legendary boss. People who follow the rules rarely make history. That said, while I was listening to Seeking Major Tom I found it useful to remember that Shatner is first and foremost an actor, and his songs can be understood [...]

Take a bite out of the psychedelic beat-fruit that is Lo & Behold. Released October 11 with Cantora Records, the folky electro-pop-with-a-dash-of-rock-and-disco album follows Emil & Friends’ August 2010 release of EP Downed Economy. The EP clearly laid the foundation for the producer/mixer/musician/singer’s sound in his latest work. Although I enjoy Economy, I find the [...]

After debuting in 1996 with Endtroducing…, a bona fide classic full of dusty samples and atmospheric instrumental hip-hop, the question quickly seemed to become: “Where does he go [...]

My F*cking Neighbor Totoro \m/ Okay, so maybe nobody actually sang that in Princess Ghibli, but it sure got your attention right? Princess Ghibli is a remake of various Studio Ghibli songs from many Ghibli animated classics, which include My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Ponyo on the Cliff. I say the album is a [...]

Australian duo HTRK‘s new album WORK (work, work) is a strange and curious beast. It is a pop record, in that the songs are really songs (some are even hummable), and the themes revolve around the quintessential pop subject matter: feelings. But, the feelings described on this album are far more uncomfortable and complex than [...]

The eventseekr team had some awesome interns that regularly contributed to the blog this summer, but we also had awesome interns all throughout the office working in the other departments. We asked those who didn’t get a chance to contribute to write reviews of recent albums that struck their fancy. First was indie-rock group A [...]

Last week, we published album reviews by a couple of our summer interns. Janelle Gleason reviewed indie-rock group A Lull‘s Confetti, and Sharon Kim reviewed Cloud Control’s Bliss Release. After the jump is Lauren Espina’s review of Trap Gold‘s The Chooser EP. I hate to make generalizations, but the music scene in the Los Angeles [...]

We asked some of them to write reviews of recent albums that struck their fancy. First up was indie-rock group A Lull‘s Confetti, written up by Janelle Gleason. This [...]
