Mudvayne - L.D. 50

The origin of The Most Brutal Metal Scream is no joke. What an awesome thing these face-painted gents made. Haven't been obsessed with a metal album like this in years.
Twila Paris - He Is Exalted
NR
As someone who is rarely a fan of live worship records, this one is special. Not only is it the single most nostalgic piece of music there is for me, but it's also excellent as a standalone piece of art containing the most beautiful and inspiring communal music that has ever been created. And also, ever since I was a kid I've had the biggest crush on Paris' voice and that hasn't changed.

I have so many vivid and important memories attached to this thing that a single second of these songs is ... read more

The Church - A Box of Birds

If I never hear another song again, I am content with The Church's cover of Cortez The Killer, one of the greatest blessings my ears have received this year.
Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon

Soft ice cream

Spellbinding. This is my favourite Lana record. It wears a sardonic grin towards the lush high life. Still, beneath the surface, a melancholic unease boils that is human and multi-layered, especially when being misunderstood is so on the edge of likelihood.

Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs

I am loving the pop-punk boom this January, especially fitting for our sweltering Australian summer. The Trio, with their beautiful new album right here (their tenth!), has the enduring magic many chase but few find.

Hi Lucmun, I hope all is well! I wanted to let you know that my band’s EP, “Winter Break” is now out on all platforms!!! It’s in the alt punk genre (sorta lol). I appreciate if you end up giving it a shot, and if not no worries at all :) Here’s the AOTY link if you’re interested:

Hey! My project Act Tragic finally completed our sophomore album, IN THE AFTERLIFE. We have spent the last year using GarageBand on my iPad to record and mix this record, so we know it isn’t professionally produced but we make due with what we have. It is influenced by indie rock, alternative rock, folk, and many more genres with influences ranging from Depeche Mode to Bright Eyes, Modest Mouse to New Order, Radiohead to Death Cab, and many more! We would love to hear your ratings and reviews of this project so we can grow as artists and keep doing what we love!
