ManDancing have made the leap, the leap from “I’ll throw this on” to “I can’t turn this off.” To put it bluntly, The Good Sweat is a masterpiece.

These albums are likely to be remembered as quiet titans, drawing little attention because they know they don't need to. Eric details why in this review.

The tracks on ALIAS would feel apt if played during a party scene in a film. Bineet writes about what makes this release exciting.

Hyperpop duo food house might occasionally bring up struggles with identity or depression, but the primary vibe they give off is unencumbered confidence. Take a listen and read Eric's review.

An out-and-out screamo record underscored by emo, Record Setter reinvented their sound once again on 'I Owe You Nothing.' Zac reviews.

Compared to Floating Room's previous work, the songs on 'Tired and True' sound fuller, more vivacious, and more imposing. Eric reviews the EP.

This is an album that deals with the visceral malaise ingrained in our very existence and looks at it from all angles. You can hear the songwriter, Caleb Cordes achieving epiphanies or reaching a breaking point in nearly every track, and his songwriting feels truly unique. 

In his long career, John Darnielle’s greatest strength has been his ability to sing from the perspective of characters who may be nothing like him and make it believable. On the Mountain Goats' latest album, their 12th as a full band, and 19th overall, Darnielle casts himself in his strangest roles yet. The result is some of the best songs of his career.

Stream 'TEPHRA: (RE)LOADED,' the latest from Richmond, Virginia duo INDEX.

The Big Easy are the house band playing weekly in the dive bar of my dreams. On A Long Year, the struggle to make it through each situation is presented so physically you can’t help but let the dirty, over-torqued guitars wash over you and just… deal with it. But, you deal with it by dancing.

Jordy explores repetition and meaning in the debut album by The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, "Ways of Hearing."

Some fans might miss the energy of Thunder Dreamer's previous LPs - but what Summer Sleeping lacks in energy, it makes up for in richness.
