Een huwelijk rijker, een hoofdredacteurschap armer: 2011 was het jaar waarin ik Eclectro verruilde voor een ring. Ondertussen werd ik beste vrienden met Spotify, download ik alleen als het echt niet anders kan, zwoer ik de aankoop van cd's af, en heb ik bijna niets meer met puur op de dansvloer gerichte elektronica.

Subsequently, the band has ...

When the majority of my friends hear the word "metal," pertaining to the musical genre, they tend to think it all sounds like the purest of white noise, with screeching vocals, incredibly heavy bass and distorted guitars. They stay far, far, far away from the genre. Don't even think of bringing progressive metal to the table – but this is where Fair to Midland's latest album, "Arrows & Anchors" comes in, and gives listeners something from a plethora of genres. Now, this doesn't mean it's "light" metal by any means, as "Whiskey & Ritalin" gives you more than [...]

Mid-July struck and while this week's list was long, it was originally crowded with country, rap and death metal artists. Fortunately, Washed Out, Starlight Girls and a few popular rock groups will help even out the releases. Washed Out , the Ernest Greene (pictured above) project, draws an ambient theme into his new album off of SubPop Records, Within and Without . Greene reached out to Ben Allen (Animal Collective's Merriweather Post-Pavillion , Gnarls Barkley's St. Elsewhere ) to help co-produce and the final product plays with a top-of-the-line, expansive sound much like [...]
