Reviews music

'Terminal Velocity' radiates sonic brio, graceful energy, and primal momentum of imminent majesty.

The music shows a spontaneity that is laudable and intellectually stimulating.

I’ve always liked bands that have a clear aesthetic intention in their image and videos, and The FMs have that in spades. If you have a soft spot for the age of safety pins and black leather in rock and roll, you’re in for a good time.

Tabor is a well-versed artist.

Tinged with both retro and contemporary colors, 'Qualifiers' by Mark Rogers is tantalizingly nostalgic, yet at once embryonic.

The highlight of 'Tales from a Room' is the rich, delicate voice of Miriam Waks, with a striking exotic roundness, making it uniquely pleasing to listen to.

Paul McCartney-meets-Ray Charles on 'Love,' a New Orleans jazz-pop release by pianist Matt Lemmler.

With 'Always Love,' For Peace Band confirms superb reggae can flourish anywhere, not just in Jamaica.

Theremin virtuosa Carolina Eyck and avant-garde vocalist Theo Bleckmann were at their inventive best in separate sets at (le) poisson rouge in NYC.

Bursting with grunge-pop energy, 'The Shit I Left in Duluth' is outstanding, pulsing with vivacious colors, an infectious rhythm, and Mary Bue’s satisfying voice.
