Album Review : King Tuff’s ‘The Other’
So I may have been wrong about Kyle Thomas, aka King Tuff. I know he’s been around for a few years now and that he’s got connections to Ty Segall and that whole crew of prolific garage/punk/pop artists that seem to be readying new albums every couple months. Around 2012 Thomas seemed to be all …
Album Review : Steve Reich’s ‘Pulse/Quartet’
Steve Reich is the kind of musical figure that lives within several different worlds.

Album Review : Rival Console’s ‘Persona’
Ryan Lee West’s music as Rival Consoles feels far more lived in and worn than many of his producing peers. He makes electronic music that sounds and feels organic.
