Devolutionary Tactics

Artist: 
Devo
Review: 

Devolution is a painful process for many bands, often slipping into a period of releasing a series of bad records before descending into self-parody and, yikes, Greatest Hits Tours. (Shudder.) It happens to the best of them, and in many cases, the successes of the past aren’t even enough to make up for the sins of today. Starting out great is often the worst career move a band can make, with the full knowledge that it only gets worse from then on out.

Keramick & Lobo - The Braille

Artist: 
Keramick & Lobo
Review: 

Some days are simply those days. They are hard to describe. The world isn't bleak. The sun is shining. You aren't really tired. You weren't recently dumped or fired; hell, you may have even found something you have long since lost. But for some reason, something is off.

SubConsciousMind - Intermezzo Extended

Artist: 
SubConsciousMind
Review: 

And now . . . we are in August.
I paid rent yesterday. Bloody rent. Rent is like a ghost; always lingering about when you wish it wasn't. You want to sleep. You want to go about your day. You want a simple answer to a straightforward question. The ghost is lurking and giving riddles. Bloody ghosts.

Psilodump - The Nya Albumet

Artist: 
Psilodump
Review: 

And here we are again. I know it is shocking to hear from me so much in such a short period of time, but life tends to happen in cycles and we are currently in a cycle of music and dance. We are also in a cycle of tension. I normally don't subscribe to concepts of astrology, but I have been noticing a trend of the seasons these past few years and perhaps there is something to it. Or maybe I just like to have as many scapegoats at my disposal as possible.

Eraser vs. Yöjalka - Virtuosi Di Quosi

Artist: 
Eraser vs. Yöjalka
Review: 

And the great EvsY are back with another rockin' album of uptempo insane dance music.
If memory serves, this is album 4 from this duo and it is as slamming, funky, bouncy, and danceable as the rest of their catalog.
I'm currently hanging out in the lovely (lol) Philadelphia airport and have a few hours to kill before my connecting flight. While sitting here, I decided to finally give this album a listen and try to bust out a review. We'll see if I can manage to do this. I think I need a drink. LoL.

Troll Scientists - Sir Eel

Artist: 
Troll Scientists
Review: 
You know, Troll Scientists are really good. Their whole "thing" is massively awesome. I dig it. A lot. Their first album, Useless Science, off of Space Boogie Productions was a simply awesome. I wrote at length about it here. Troll Scientists' new album takes that same awesome and does something even more awesome with it. Seriously. It is, the Last Train to Awesome Town.
