Presents for Sally at If It Be Your Will
“Colours & Changes” is the 2nd album from the UK band Presents for Sally. Formed in 2009, the three piece has taken in many influences and managed to form a sound all of their own. If the debut album showed promise of what the band could do, then “Colours & Changes” has set it in… Continue reading Presents for Sally at If It Be Your Will
Presents for Sally at Linear Tracking Lives!
The sophomore album ‘Colours & Changes’ from UK band Presents for Sally is another one that took me back to the late ’80s and early ’90s, but this time with the guitar turned way up. Shoegaze is a label that seems to have stuck, and there are plenty of the sounds of My Bloody Valentine,… Continue reading Presents for Sally at Linear Tracking Lives!
Knowlton Bourne at Stereo Embers
Existential slacker blues nonpareil, Mississippi’s favorite son Knowlton Bourne has produced a debut record that deserves the type kudos we reserve for the preternaturally talented ‘very young.’ Just 23 years old and thus defining ‘precocious,’ Mr Bourne’s brand of molasses-grooved rock’n’roll has a thematic affinity with the Kurt Vile-Adam Granduciel axis of unsprung indie naturalism… Continue reading Knowlton Bourne at Stereo Embers
Thee Koukouvaya at Independent Clauses
If this had a video, it would go something like this: Aliens zap you up into a multi-dimensional, techno-laced, time-barren universe and then drop you back down through the atmosphere, tumbling towards Chicago, and crash you through a stained glass warehouse ceiling onto the tranced-out, upward arms of dancing strangers.

Knowlton Bourne at God is in the TV
23 year-old Mississippi native Knowlton Bourne has given us the honour of premiering his new track ‘The River (For Nels)’ a chiming slice of Americana-jangle-pop-craft written during his time spent working on a farm outside of Oxford. It’s laced with Knowlton’s south drawl that paints expansive storytelling-like narratives that capture the hopeful yet anxious feeling… Continue reading Knowlton Bourne at God is in the TV
Lunchbox at Bloodbuzzed
Let’s move to Oakland, California, to meet Tim Brown & Donna McKean (both members of Hard Left) and their back and forth story. Formed around 1994, they released four albums, and some 7″ and EPs before they went on hiatus in 2002. Then came Birds of California, new band’s incarnation that delivered the EP ‘Great… Continue reading Lunchbox at Bloodbuzzed
Static Daydream at From Pop 2 Top
Fredericksburg, VA’s Paul Baker (ex-Skywave and Ceremony) and Jamie Casey are not only a couple in life but also a couple in music. Their debut self-titled album was released on August 28th via Saint Marie and Moon Sounds Records. If you’re into taking a dive in noise pop waters dipped in distorted guitars and reverb,… Continue reading Static Daydream at From Pop 2 Top
