On their newest album, Crowded House reunite to make one majorly delightful soft indie rock album.  Crowded House is one of those bands that feel like they’ve always been there.

Just when you think that she’s done releasing music for a while, she comes back for more, and that is certainly not a complaint. Julia Michaels is a rich and powerful artist with an … [Read more...] about Julia Michaels: Not In Chronological Order – Review

There are some albums that are not mainstream, and then there are others that are definitely not mainstream, and Polly Paulusma's Invisible Music falls into the latter, which is, in my opinion, a terrific thing. Almost every album out … [Read more...] about Polly Paulusma: Invisible Music – Review
