Brooklyn-based art-punk five-piece Foyer Red have been teasing their debut LP, Yarn the Hours Away, for a while now and I’ve rather enjoyed those singles. Their music has a lot in common with turn-of-the-10s blog bands like Deerhoof, Friends, and Los Campesinos!. All interlocking atonal melodies hovering on the shared borders separating pop, indie, and lo-fi. But this new single, “Gorgeous,” I really enjoy. Compared to the other tasters shared from Yarn, which charge forward with disaffected NY cool, it’s a more midtempo and sincere affair. Tho ..read more

We haven’t heard a whole lot from Amber Bain, singer-songwriter who records under the Japanese House nomenclature, since the pandemic kicked off, her 2020 EP Chewing Cotton Wool getting lost in the shuffle of that whole haze. That may be about to change, however, as this week she and long-time label Dirty Hit released her first new song in nearly three years, the softly-throbbing electro-acoustic “Boyhood.” It’s a yearning, melancholic number with Bain stuck thinking over an old relationship in spite of her efforts to move on. “I went to meet to somebody new/Changed ..read more

John Wick, released in the dead-zone dumping ground of Halloween 2014 just two months away from direct-to-DVD hell, opened with a car rolling slowly to a wall-enforced stop. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) falls out of the driver-side door, limps over to a railing, collapses, and then mournfully watches an old video of his wife on his dying mobile phone. John Wick: Chapter 4, released at the tail-end of March 2023 right as blockbuster season kicks off in earnest, opens by cutting between John punching a training board that sounds louder than most shotgun blasts and Th ..read more
