YOUR SUMMER HASN’T HAPPENED UNTIL YOU’VE HEARD THIS ALBUM.
i don’t fully know the origin or the meaning of the word “lemurian”, but i have played golden sun, a game in which there is a lost island civilization called lemuria. i don’t know if lone had playing many gameboy advance rpgs while making this album, but [...]
the opening notes of hunted by a freak just hit me, like that moment of recognition when you’re standing in the audience and the familiarity of a song washes over you and you can’t stop smiling. mogwai have a gift with melody that is, at the same time, not melody. vocals that are barely discernible [...]

The Field’s distinctive sound on From Here We Go Sublime was a revelation for the minimal genre, but it was difficult to see how well that sound might be sustained over a second album. On Yesterday and Today, The Field seems determined to show his versatility, to not take the easy way out and simply [...]
The wonky scene is probably the most interesting development in hip hop to come along in a while. For the longest time it seemed like Prefuse 73 was the only artist out there who could make IDM/glitch influenced hip hop that didn’t have its head up its ass.
