New blog post! Wrote about new records from Railcard @skepwax.bsky.social @slumberlandrecords.com, Star Moles, Timeout Room, and The Early @alexjrlewis.bsky.social:
“The Early’s playing sounds natural and fluid, but I can also hear the communication between Nussbaum and Lewis in how they guide these tracks along. I Want to Be Ready stands out among experimental rock music thanks to the titular desire expressed and, eventually, realized by it.”

Simon recorded a lot of bands I've written about on the blog. Pretty Bitter, Retirement Party, Truth or Consequences New Mexico, Flowerbomb. Most bands in Chicago crossed paths with him somehow. Unimaginable loss.
Thanks for the excellent and thoughtful review. X

first big indiepop atlas review i've done in a while is for heavenly's new album!
the gist is that it's my least favorite, but that's in less of a "what do you expect from a reunion" way and in more of a "they're going a new direction" way

If you liked the most recent 12 Rods album, this is like an alt-country version of that
