20bjork 20 FAVE BJORK SONGS

GRAPHICS BY DYLAN CLANCY

In the pantheon of those who are truly original, the iconoclasts who did whatever the hell they wanted and damned the consequences, Björk (@bjork) has a cemented place. Her influence can be felt far and wide, from The Knife and Radiohead to, most obviously, Lady Gaga. Björk’s stunning creativity is only amplified by her extraordinary voice. [READ ON]

As the final days of September dwindle, the disappearing leaves and chilly autumn air cruelly remind us that many months of gloom, rain, sleet, and snow are around the corner.  Yet, as I sit here with the sweet sounds of Sun Hotel (@sunhotel) flooding through my headphones, all I can envision is a world of warm seaside walks and long top-down car rides.

WILCO’S THE WHOLE LOVE

606 days ago by Ben Anshutz

wilco 550x550 WILCOS THE WHOLE LOVE

I Might – Wilco

The Whole Love marks Wilco’s ninth studio release and eighth proper LP. With an evolution of sound ranging from alt-country, neo-folk, Americana, pseudo-psych rock and more, we never quite know what to expect from a Wilco release. Coming off the decidedly mature “dad rock” vibe of Wilco (The Album), The Whole Love exhibits a band experimenting with more juvenile flavors.  And they’re better for it. [READ ON]
