Nostaligic Goodness with a Touch of Playfulnew
A female vocalist starting an album with the words, "Cried all night till there was nothin' more" probably sounds a bit offputting. Unless that girl is Zooey Deschanel accompanied by M. Ward.

'Definitions' Leads to an Epihanynew
Actually, it wasn't so much an epiphany as it was my being force-fed a putrid, bile-coated trifecta of three great big pulsating blisters on the instep of American culture -- the King Ghidora of Americana, if you will.

In Like with 'I Love You, You're Awful'new
Except for the occasional awkward moments on the opening track when the lead singer's vocals remind me of Weird Al Yankovic (no offense, Al), I quite enjoy a fair amount of Ludo's You're Awful, I Love You.

'The Hopeful and Unafraid' Kicks off Strongnew
This starts off with an inspired mini-opus that, upon first listen, reminded me of a cross between Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run closer, "Jungleland," and The Who's Who's Next opener, "Baba O'Riley"; though it's really nothing like either of those songs, if that makes any sense. Yeah, I didn't think it would!

Bronze Radio Return: Tamenew
OK, so I'm going to be completely, enema-minus-the-lube, brutally honest here. After skimming over the press kit I received along with Bronze Radio Return's new eponymous five-song EP, I very seriously entertained the thought of not even listening to the album.

Ashia Experiments on 'Pay to be Loved'new
The new artist Ashia has a unique sound that is not really in any category. It's not jazz or improvisation, and it has more sounds than experimental music.
