Nothingness "Godslaughter" Review
Indulgence in the creation and consumption of art belonging to the grotesquerie form, is to hold a mirror up to modern life. As is the aim of Minneapolis death metal sextet Nothingness. True to that aim, their third full length album Godslaughter, rest assured, is very gross indeed.
Read MoreWinnie "Flowers For Winnie" Album Review
Flowers for Winnie is a serene tour of Winnie’s mind as a lyricist and as a musician. It takes you down winding hallways of wandering interludes and lyrics that are both quippy and personal. This album holds your hand and tells you there’s something we need to talk about.

Read MoreASMR U Kidding Me?! astrid hubbard flynn and aros e-v "all aflutter/soft gnaw" Album Review
With just some “simple” electronics, a plethora of household items, and sparse vocals, the two-track album presents a sprawling palette of sounds that explore the vast spectrum of nothing all the way over to delicate.
