Bowerbirds The Clearing Dead Oceans Review by Ellen Eldridge The third release by Bowerbirds, The Clearing, acts like a support beam stretching across the first two releases. The tightness of sound, mellowed by the luxuries accompanying the success it takes to make it to album three, showcases the simple honesty in its message. The band’s […]

Dr. Dog Be the Void Anti- Dr. Dog has returned with some new tunes that are blowing me away. The band’s newest album, Be the Void, was recently released on February 8 and it’s their sixth full-length in the past 10 years. Typically by this point in a band’s career, I’ve given up hope and […]

White Rabbits Milk Famous TBD Records By Ellen Eldridge Though I barely remember 2009, I remember reviewing White Rabbits’ sophomore release It’s Frightening, which was produced by Britt Daniel of Spoon and earned the band comparisons to Spoon.

Sharon Van Etten Tramp Jagjaguar By Micah McLain First off, a disclaimer of sorts: I am a huge fan of Sharon Van Etten and have been ever since I first heard of her via All Songs Considered a couple of years ago. I was absolutely floored by “Love More” and have been equally impressed with […]

Pink Floyd The Wall Experience Capitol Records By Ellen Eldridge This is not a review of Pink Floyd’s 1979 release The Wall. Those who grew up on it, got high to it, and fell in love with it already know the lyrics, and can visibly see the album art spackled to the lining of the […]
By Scott Roberts By all accounts, the idea of a CD release show at Smith’s Olde Bar tomorrow night, for Atlanta’s long-inactive pop-rockers Uncle Green (later changed to 3 lb. Thrill) for their nearly 15-year-old work Rycopa is nothing short of a miracle. The master tapes for the sprawling double album — originally recorded in […]
fun. Some Nights Fueled By Ramen By Justin Lyons It’s doubtful anyone would truly call fun. a “supergroup”, but their debut album Aim & Ignite showed promise as three talented musicians from indie acts banded together for a new project. Side projects come and go, but this trio featuring Nate Reuss (The Format), Jack Antonoff […]
