Dhani Harrison Plots His Own Path With Solo Debut In///Parallel

November 9, 2017 By Nicholas Slayton Leave a Comment

Dhani Harrison

Dhani Harrison has a story to tell. After working with thenewno2, Fistful of Mercy and scoring movies and television, the musician found himself hearing a certain sound in his head that he had to make real. The result is In///Parallel, Harrison’s first solo album, a 10-track record that was released on Oct. 9. The album […]

B L A C K I E’s Remains Channels the Collective Rage and Pain of the Oppressed

May 31, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

B L A C K I E Remains

Like a lot of Americans, I’ve spent most of 2017 tense and nervous and unable to relax, wired on the buzz of anxiety that comes from every cursory glance at the headlines. I feel like the world is ending not as a bang but as a joke and all I can do about it is […]

Zac Pennington and Brian Lawlor’s Always and Only the Lonely is a Beautiful Examination of Suffering as Art

April 6, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Always and Only the Lonely Dorothy K Zac Pennington Brian Lawlor

“We don’t care to be understood, to understand is to lie.” – Implied Violence mission statement The only real constants to avant-pop act Parenthetical Girls were front man Zac Pennington’s melodramatic, ever-reaching vocals and taboo lyrical fixations. Throughout Parenthical Girls’ career, the band shifted line-ups and aesthetics, utilizing ornate instrumentation at first, then wielding increasingly more electronic […]

Future’s New Album is an IKEA Couch of a Record

February 23, 2017 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Future

The consensus of 2016 was that Future had a bad year, but it’s more accurate to say that his stranglehold on rap music simply loosened by a finger or two. While critics who were penning his hagiography the year before rushed to declare that Future was “over,” he was busy forming a symbiotic chemistry with […]

Pet;Wolf, BLXPLTN and Seizing Fascist Imagery to Use it Against Itself

February 10, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Pet Wolf Dance with the Devil

The other day, upcoming hip hop artist Pet;wolf emailed Loser City’s Kayleigh Hughes with a link to a new video he put together for his track “Dance with the Devil.” The video is decidedly lo-fi and low budget, a simple straight ahead webcam shot of Pet;wolf lipsyncing his track with occasional scratchy white out illustrations […]

Hawaiian T-Shirt Make Music for Punching and Dancing on Their New EP

February 6, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Hawaiian T-Shirt

The intentions behind Hawaiian T-Shirt’s eponymous new EP are made clear in simple language on their Bandcamp page. This is music “to maybe dance and punch people to and maybe laugh or cry,” covering all the necessary emotional bases: excitement, anger, happiness, sadness. The most important word repeated in that description, though, is “maybe” because […]

Exclusive: The Full Track List of Songs Cut from Anohni’s Paradise

February 2, 2017 By Dylan Garsee Leave a Comment

Anohni

Anohni has announced a companion EP to last year’s exercise in political maximalism HOPELESSNESS. Titled Paradise, the EP contains tracks left off the record but which still maintain thematic and stylistic similarities. Containing tracks like “Jesus Will Kill You” and “She Doesn’t Mourn Her Loss,” we can expect these new tracks to be just as […]

Play It Loud is a Delightfully No-Frills History of the Electric Guitar

December 19, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Play It Loud

Few instruments are as symbolic of revolution as the electric guitar– visually, sonically, conceptually, the electric guitar is a riot in your hands, capable of beauty and destruction, chaos and structure. But if you go looking for reading on the instrument itself rather than on its most iconic wielders, you’ll soon be buried in dry […]

Greg Lake was Distinctly of His Era and That Deserves to be Celebrated

December 9, 2016 By Chris Jones 2 Comments

Greg Lake

There are a few things we need to acknowledge now that Greg Lake and Keith Emerson have passed away, in this same year in which we lost Bowie, in which we lost Prince and Phife Dawg and Merle Haggard and Leonard Cohen. You don’t care about the first two guys at all, much less as […]
