Since 1995, across eight previous studio albums, thirteen EPs, two remix albums, two live albums and four compilation albums, Glasgow’s post-rock pioneers have been a perfect sonic storm. The more precarious the world becomes, the more Mogwai‘s music is escapist balm, more so than ever inside the cocooning deliverance of their ninth studio album, ‘Every […]
Earlier this summer, Portugal. The Man finally released the record that they’ve hinted at for years…’Woodstock’. As the Pitchfork headline reads “The Alaska psych-pop group have embraced modern-rock glitz and EDM bombast” and that they did! ‘Woodstock‘ is a complete departure from the band’s indie-psych-pop history and as the band warned with t-shirts before the […]
20 years have gone by since Deerhoof released ‘The Man, the King, the Girl‘ and not much has changed, but everything has changed for the band since.

A pioneer in the shoegaze genre, […]
Melvins’ Buzz Osborne is a superhero. Before Nirvana. Before Soundgarden. Before Tool. Before Slipknot. Before Mastodon. There was Buzz and Melvins. Godfathers of Grunge. From their EP debut in 1986 ‘Melvins,’ to this year’s ‘A Walk With Love & Death,’ Buzz has created, destroyed, toured, and lived at a furious pace. Now twenty-five albums in, […]
Grizzly Bear burst onto the global scene in 2009 with their album ‘Veckatimest‘, although some of us had been following the then Brooklyn band since their debut with Kanine Records ‘Horn Of Plenty‘. As the band toured the world with Radiohead, “Two Weeks” broke through, making Grizzly Bear the mainstream symbol of indie rock. Fast forward to […]
Beth Ditto’s long-awaited first solo LP, Fake Sugar was released on June 16th. Though some have been waiting for this record since the break up of Gossip, (the band Beth fronted since 1999) I personally have been waiting for Beth to release a solo LP since she first told me she was recording one, 16 […]
It seems the last few years have pushed Manchester Orchestra‘s Andy Hull into uncomfortable territory beyond guitar. During the creation of 2016’s Swiss Army Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), Hull spoke with Consequence of Sound, “I really learned how to allow myself to be vulnerable” and that vulnerability pours into the first single from Manchester Orchestra’s upcoming LP ‘A […]
