Album Review: Preoccupations - New Material

Photo: Philip Cosores Preoccupations - New Material (Jagjaguwar) Released: March 23rd, 2018 Canadian rock band, Preoccupations, is back with their second full-length album, New Material . This is a follow to their self-titled debut, which was their first release under the Preoccupations name. Previously known as Viet Cong , they put out a noisy indie-rock album back in 2015. Over the past couple years, Preoccupations has developed their noisy-rock sound into a more definitive form, delivering fantastic tracks with indie-rock and post-punk structure. They did a fantastic job of that on their last album and they follow through on their latest release, truly catering to the post-punk and 1980's inspired dark-wave fans. On the lead single "Espionage", the track begins with a series of mysterious rim-shot patterns. The percussion develops while a haunting and shimmering synthesizer melody takes place. Full of reverb and echo effects, the track is dynamic and

M.O.T.M. February 2018

Rick Kern/WireImage Music of the Month: February 2018 Album of the Month : MGMT - Little Dark Age (Columbia) - Released February 9th, 2018 Checkout my Review HERE MGMT is back. Little Dark Age is their fourth album and first release in nearly five years. This record takes a detour from MGMT's original sound, touching on melodies and instrumentals that are reminiscent of the 80's goth scene, soft rock, and straight forward alt-pop. Although the direction is slightly different, MGMT finds a way to fit their strange charm and catchy pop hooks into a solid set of songs. As mentioned in my review, it may not be the best MGMT full-length, but it definitely includes some of MGMT's best material to date.

Album Review: PNTHN - Potluck - EP

Photo: Andreis Hernandez PNTHN - Potluck - EP (797524 Records DK) Released: February 20th, 2018 Following in the footsteps of other contemporary hip-hop groups, PNTHN (Pantheon) is next in line to make waves in the modern rap-game. San Marcos, Texas based, their team is a conglomerate of rappers, producers, and DJs with different styles. After delivering tracks here and there on Soundcloud for a little over a year, Potluck is PNTHN's first EP, a project that spans 18 minutes full of lo-fi, minimalistic hits. The lead track "Chumbucket", titled after the unsuccessful restaurant from SpongeBob SquarePants , is a low-key, concise banger. Phasing synth chords pan back and forth while a simple drum pattern leads the way. The whole group trades bars throughout the four-minute tune, grabbing the listeners attention right from the start. "Mewtwo" is another standout from Potluck . A shivering flute sample complements the glistening sound effec
