The National -The National "Trouble Will Find Me" Reviewed
I have already professed my love and complete lack of objectivity for The National in this space, so don't expect much more than superlatives and praise for the band's sixth studio album in the forthcom...
Daughter -Daughter - If You Leave
If you ever wanted to, for whatever reason, immediately transport yourself from the lovely summer heat that brings us these fucking 107 degree days in the SFV, into the deepest, darkest most confined-crevaces of winter’s glacial underworld, this album is probably the secret code on getting there.

Justice -Justice - Access All Arenas
I've seen Justice live and I do not remember them sounding like this. Friggin heavy and dark right from the start. Menacing timpany, the roaring crown, and wailing guitars are the introductory tour guides; leading you right into the middle of this frenzied, raucous wave of people to take in the Justice live s...
Mother Falcon -Review: Mother Falcon - You Knew
I was losing faith in music and musicianship as a whole. I mean, who in this day and age wants to practice and practice and refine their song craft, put in their proverbial Malcolm Gladwell "10,000 hours" to the point where they're as competent as, say, Paul Simon or ...

Wavves -Review - Wavves: Afraid of Heights
I refuse to say that this record was pulled from the 90's, because it's fucking 2013, people. Although it does take many of its cues from the era, we need to stop associating GOOD MUSIC with the 90's!! Or maybe its just me. However, Nathan Williams and co.'s latest release has reminded me that although those years are long go...

same stroke again, for the same folks, is he fuckin jokin?

Bonobo -Album Review: Bonobo | The North Borders
Welcome to BitCandy's music review of Bonobo's The North Boders. The 5th studio album from UK's sophisticated producer / composer Simon Green is aesthetically sophisticated tranquility. There is absolutely nothing amateur about this release. Every single i...
