Album Review: Centipede Hz by Animal Collective

Mason McGough Aug 28, 2012
For a group with a track record as long as Animal Collective’s, it’s astounding how little Centipede Hz sounds like their past work.

Album Review: America by Dan Deacon

Mason McGough Aug 28, 2012

The tone of the record is always an impenetrable elation, much like the Boredoms album.

Album Review: channel ORANGE by Frank Ocean

Michael Radcliffe Jul 23, 2012
Frank Ocean’s debut LP, channel ORANGE, is an album of undirected life and young love. These concepts have been seen before, but it’s the angle in which Ocean sees them that makes them fresh.
