written by: Tyler Remmert on February 7, 2011

Modern folk is an oxymoron. A look into the music of Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom, Bon Iver, and Iron & Wine.

Brand New Missed Their Shot

written by: Tyler Remmert on February 2, 2011

Brand New’s debut, 2001’s Your Favorite Weapon, is exactly the record a band coming out of the Long-Island-Post-Hardcore scene didn’t want to make: simple, meandering and containing only about 65 percent good ideas.

Smith Westerns: Young Guns

written by: Tyler Remmert on January 31, 2011

Chicago quartet The Smith Westerns are a rag-tag band of youngsters who have their gimmick and an amazing record to back themselves up. Dye It Blonde is remarkably consistent, earwormingly catchy and filled with enough retro-fitted parts to seem bone-shakingly cool and technically proficient at the same time.

T.I. – No Mercy

written by: Tyler Remmert on December 7, 2010

Kanye West seems like the transcendent, singular example of all the unique elements of rap, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy feels like the best example of how beautiful Kanye can make rap sound.

The Fembot Reboots

written by: Tyler Remmert on November 16, 2010

For her new LP, Robyn leads off with “Indestructible,” a song revamped from a skeletal framework on Body Talk Part 2, and a perfect encapsulation of Robyn’s Body Talk series, making it perhaps the most comprehensive and valuable first single of the bunch.

Kid Cudi Man on the Moon II 2 The Legend of Mr. Rager album artwork

Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager

written by: Tyler Remmert on November 9, 2010

In one of the most pronounced and consistent examples, Kid Cudi is the spaceman of rap, the disaffected emo drunk who’s not quite sure what to do with himself.
