February 18, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Martis Unruly Khrist Koopa

Early on in Distant, Martis Unruly sleepily declares “I look like I’m pissed off/Yet I feel so positive,” the removed tone of the statement jutting up against both the words and the poppy, dystopic “Hollaback Girl”  beat. The question posed by that juxtaposition is a classic unreliable narrator dilemma: do we believe Martis’ words? do we believe […]

Positive Thuggery: Croatoan Crimewave is a Stunning Early Work by BB Sun

February 24, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

BB Sun Ryan Evans Croatoan Crimewave

Normally when you stumble across an early artifact from an artist’s career it’s more curious than satisfactory, offering you glimpses at the promise that was there all along but ultimately serving as a reminder that artistry needs time to develop and early failures are as important to the DNA as initial successes. So the fact […]
