Look Up Child, the second studio album by Lauren Daigle, snatches listeners to their feet, quiets theirs doubts, reinforces positive narratives of faith and simultaneously challenges obsolete views of spirituality using powerful lyrics and music infused with island, jazz, and classical sounds. Daigle flows from anthems to hymns smoothly like thread through the eye of […]

No other band has recently taken flight in the indie music scene more so than Khruangbin, which is appropriate since their name roughly translates to “airplane” in Thai.

During the summer break of 2018, certain staff members crossed oceans, climbed mountains and explored new and familiar cultures that embodied their diversity and expanded others. A wanderer himself, Jack Kerouac […]

Negro Swan is the fourth studio album by Dev Hynes under the moniker “Blood Orange.”  The production of Negro Swan is completely unique, yet it feels oddly familiar. After doing some digging, I found that Dev Hynes has actually done production for the likes of Solange and FKA Twigs. In true form of other Dev Hynes projects, […]

What is the best approach to naming a band? Most of the time it seems as if there is no technique, but the name is simply a roll of the dice and random words strung together. At first glance at the band name Fever 333, the first thought is just that, “Well, that’s random.” The […]

Based out of Sacramento, California, Primus is a rock band fronted by vocalist/bassist, Les Claypool.

This summer, let’s diversify our music libraries by checking out some new releases by female artists across different genres. June was LGBTQ Pride Month, but one month is not nearly enough.

Saturday night, May 26th, Slushii and Volt hit the stage at Stereo Live. The opener, Volt, performed a wide variety of dubstep mixes, hitting all the right notes that the crowd wanted to hear. Mixing some old Skrillex with some newer beats, Volt hyped the crowd right where Slushii wanted it to be. When he finally […]

Musician, songwriter, and interdisciplinary artist Cody Critcheloe aka SSION just released O, his third studio album, his first release in seven years, and it’s fantastic.

This year has seen so much incredible new music, but we often don’t appreciate or recognize our female artists, across all genres, as much as we should or as much as they deserve. As women are stepping up, taking the lead, and having their voices heard across politics, media and Hollywood, 2018 (but really every […]

Coverage by Waylon O’Day and Tiffany Neufeld Wow, I don’t know why I had never heard of this festival prior to this year, and I’m not sure why it doesn’t get more attention than it does. The festival is built for music fans; the lack of overlapping set-times, the small grounds, and just generally the […]
