Godspeed! You Black Emperor – G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!

For those who don't know, Godspeed! You Black Emperor is a Canadian post rock band that gained notoriety back in the late 1990s/early 2000s. In a lot of ways, it is less a band and more an orchestra as there are about 10 people in the group with a wide variety of instruments. I like to describe the music as 'art rock for the…

The Mars Volta – Frances the Mute

While De-Loused in the Comatorium was a great first album, The Mars Volta decided to discard any sort of formula and re-invent their own wheel by asking the question: "What if we make a 5-song concept album about a drug addict in search of his biological parents?"

I've been listening to these guys since the early 2000s when their sound was a welcome change. The best way I can describe it is fast fuzzy dirt. They bring a special kind…

The Antlers – Green to Gold

This album is a bit of a departure for them and they haven't released anything since 2014, so I'd imagine the songwriting was in a bit of a different place. If I had to describe the music, I'd say it is fairly light and…

Serious XMU Tunes

A long time ago, I heard about this Sirius XM satellite radio station that was focused on indie rock, both new and old. It's called Sirius XMU and it is probably the closest thing I've found that aligns with my own music tastes. While I don't subscribe to satellite radio, I do check in periodically to the play history as an indie music barometer…
