Mikal Cronin, MCII: Album Review

Mikal Cronin, MCII: Album Review

Mikal Cronin is making music to get addicted to. The Ty Segall sideman and solo artist is far from a household name. Google searches and Rateyourmusic keywords seem to suggest that the singer-songwriter exists in the realm of “garage rock”, although that hardly seems like a fair shake for a guy responsible for some of the most addictive, giddy pop music of 2013 yet. Mind you, the multi-instrumental’s sophomore set, MCII, does occupy the same headspace as, say, Guided By […]

She & Him, Volume 3: Album Review

She & Him’s charm used to seem a little… Starbucks-y at times. You know what I mean: it’s fine for what you need, but both the band and the big-box coffee chain seem a bit like mainstream, inoffensive versions of their respective wares masquerading as hip versions of the same.

Today In Timberlake News: 20/20 Part 2 + Tour Dates Announced!

Justin Timberlake has reclaimed his throne as the biggest artist in pop music without breaking a sweat-never mind the six year layoff he took between FutureSex/LoveSounds and this year’s 20/20 Experience, which is already closing in on double-platinum status. It looks as though JT is compensating for having been absent from music for so long, though. A 20/20 sequel is already in the works and scheduled for September 30th. Interestingly, that date also comes just as the deluge of big-name […]
