In a couple weeks, Cameron Wisch and Justin Jurgens are releasing their debut album as Dust Star, Open Up That Heart.

The Polyphonic Spree – “Got Down To The Soul”
The Polyphonic Spree’s debut album The Beginning Stages Of… turned 20 this past spring. We didn’t do an article about it because you can’t cover everything, even on the nostalgia beat. But they definitely feel like a relic of their moment: a cult-like psychedelic choir, robes and all, led by the guy from Dallas psych-pop […]

Innumerable Forms – “Built On Wrought”
Old-school death metal has been resurgent lately, as bands like Gatecreeper, Undeath, and 200 Stab Wounds have been bringing back that classic sense of cavernous evil. That means the time is right for Innumerable Forms to return. Innumerable Forms is supposedly based in Boston, but the band’s membership includes ace players from across the heavy-music […]
Robyn Hitchcock – “The Shuffle Man”
Robyn Hitchcock will release his first album in five years this fall. The one-time Soft Boy is dropping SHUFFLEMANIA! in October, and its opening track “The Shuffle Man” is out today. It’s a nervy, jangly, reverb-laden rocker that sounds a bit like Bob Dylan doing power-pop. A note from Hitchcock: Hello dear listener, I am […]
