HI54LO5: Number Of The Beast

PRO: I can finally wear my genuinely vintage (ie. found in a charity store & not American Outfitters) Iron Maiden shirt without the fear of someone asking, “Have you even listened to an Iron Maiden album?”. CON: In the middle of listening I think I might have joined a LARP club.

Fandcamp: In the Shadows (Again)

“In The Shadows reminded me of the first time I heard Sturgill Simpson’s album ‘Metamodern Sounds in Country Music’ which ended up being my album of the year in 2014. This has elements of psych, punk, and classic country with its sweeping reverb and spit shined steel guitar. Think along the lines of Marty Stuart meets Lucero for an idea of what to expect. The entire discography of this TX punk is gold.”

FANDCAMP: Skip a Sinking Stone

“Another beautiful piece of art by Jordan Lee. I've listened in full three times in a row this morning of the release, and while it falls a little behind Love's Crushing Diamond (which was my 2013 album of the year) for me, it is still a stunning piece of work.”
