“Go Down” is a song from the new album “Mothdust” by Callow. The title is perfect for what is going on here: the San Francisco-based duo of Red Moses (vocals, guitar) and Sami Knowles (keys, drums, backing vocals) develop their music around heavy, earthy guitar lines that weigh down on[…]
While trying to learn a bit more about Swedish duo DUETS AND STUFF, comprised of Greta and Raimond, one statement in their “About Page” made me laugh out loud because their super dreamy single “Already Gone” would not give away something so, how shall I put, it substantial. The answer[…]
No only is “Golden Prophet” a fantastic indie pop song with weight and intensity, it conveys also a strong message. New York musician Roxiny says about the track: I wrote ‘Golden Prophet’ about my personal experience as a survivor of sexual abuse. It’s the one thing that I can honestly[…]
Alone the title “Pastel Blues” makes you think of all things lovely and pleasant to have or see.

Then there are distorted guitars and since popular post punk trio Placebo is celebrating its 20th anniversary, I am mentioning them here because as a long time fan of theirs, “Lulu” faintly reminds me of their sound. Looks like[…]
It is said that Huntly does an exciting live performance, which is another good reason to visit Melbourne, Australia one day.
