MYSTERY SKULLS: AN INTERVIEW WITH LUIS DUBUC
interview by Michael McCarthy Mystery Skulls, otherwise known as Luis Dubuc, was something of a mystery to me prior to reading the press release for his new album, One of Us. All I knew was that I loved the Mystery Skulls debut album, Forever. You see, I had no idea if Mystery Skulls...

#songoftheday = GlideSonic – “Desire (just love me)” EDM remix
Well, kids, the dance-pop world has two new mascots to worship. One of the guys -- assuming they're guys -- wears a fox mask and the other one wears a human mask except that it looks like he's a human from Gorrilaz. ...
#songoftheday = ELOHIM: “SKINNY LEGS”
Elohim's latest single, "Skinny Legs," might strike you as an abstract, maybe even inaccessible, song the first few times you listen to it. I even wondered if it was too bizarre for me when it first wormed its way inside my ears. That said, I put...

#songoftheday = GOLDFRAPP: “SYSTEMAGIC”
It's Goldfrapp so, of course, it's good. No, it's better than good. It's fan-fucking-tastic. Let its throbbing beats overcome you and move your body as the dancers do in the red hot video. Or at least getup and dance. It's a sin to...
WENDY BEVAN: THE LOVE IS POP INTERVIEW
interview by Michael McCarthy One of the most bewitching albums I’ve heard all year is Rose & Thorn by British artist Wendy Bevan. Not merely a singer/songwriter/violinist, Wendy works in a variety media including film, visual imagery and intense, experiential artworks. To experience any of her work is to step into an alternate...

CONCERT REVIEW: ELOHIM AT THE SINCLAIR, CAMBRIDGE, MA: 10/11/16
This past Tuesday night, October 11th, 2016, I was fortunate to catch the young woman who calls herself Elohim live. The mysterious singer/songwriter/electronic musician is currently out on tour with EDEN, but I’d had insomnia the night before and was too tired to stay and check out his set. I was admittedly unfamiliar...

An Exclusive Interview with Brandyn Burnette
Last month I was introduced to Brandyn Burnette’s music via his pensive single “Karma,” which already has 20k plays on Soundcloud alone. He categorizes his music as neo-soul, but to my ears “Karma” was sheer electro-pop bliss. In any case, I had to hear more after that taste and was lucky enough to...

#songoftheday = PHANTOGRAM: “YOU DON’T GET ME HIGH ANYMORE”
Musically, Phantogram dive deeper into the realm of mainstream pop with their infectious new single, "You Don't Get Me High Anymore," but they certainly have not lost their edgy. They might even be edgier. I suppose some will complain that it's more pop than electropop or...
#albumoftheday = LADYHAWKE: WILD THINGS
We last heard from New Zealand’s Pip Brown when she released her 2012 album Anxiety, which was a solid pop record that featured a lot more guitars and considerably less synth and electronic sounds than her self-titled 2008 debut. Unfortunately, many fans — and critics — complained about the change of direction. On...

NEW VIDEO: ROISIN MURPHY: “TEN MILES HIGH”
Her best song since her second album, in my opinion. Just incredible. This is classic Roisin, not the club-focused Roisin we've been getting in recent years. Taken from her forthcoming album Take Her Up To Monto out July 8th....
