Laurel Hell
Mitski is one of the most formative indie artists out there, and yet she is so often overlooked. She deserves so much more recognition than she gets in the music world, and it just isn’t fair. I want to highlight how good she is, and how her music deserves to be listened to by everyone…

The Bones of What You Believe
CHVRCHES is one of my favorite bands of all time, and they helped shape my music taste when I discovered them during my freshman year of high school. They were a gateway into alternative music for me, and helped me discover so many independent artists I would grow to love and add to my playlist.…

Trouble In Paradise
I’ve grown to love La Roux even more since I reviewed her first first album last week. I was thinking about reviewing another artist to keep things different and diverse, but I couldn’t help myself this time. I decided to listen to her second studio album, Trouble In Paradise. This album was released on July…

La Roux
As with every album I’ve reviewed so far, I never expected to find this one. I only discovered it thanks to a friend’s recommendation, and it’s exactly the kind of music I love listening to. La Roux is an underlooked artist, and she deserves more love and attention from people who love the synthpop genre.…

Funeral
Arcade Fire is one of my favorite bands, and for a good reason. They helped shape the alternative rock and indie scene in the 21st Century with other greats like Radiohead. They also created one of the most iconic albums of all time, in Funeral. This album was released on September 14th, 2004, and has…

Sometimes, smaller is better. I stumbled across Liana Flores while I was scrolling through my recommended music on YouTube. The album cover is what caught my eye, but I had no idea what king of music to expect when I clicked on the link for the entire EP of recently. Recently released on April 10th,…

New Skin
The cover is arguably the most important part of an album. The artwork is what catches a customer’s eye when they’re looking for something new to listen to. It matters for trying to catch the eye of someone who has never listened to an artist before, and it can even be instrumental in order to…

The Age of Adz
Sufjan Stevens tends to write soft songs about faith and love while he strums a guitar. His instrumentals are usually stripped back and somber while his floaty voice makes you want to burst into tears. His discography is filled with a tenderness not often found in most musicians as of late. I discovered an exception…

What Went Down
I have only ever heard one song by Foals before digging this album up. “Spanish Sahara” was one of the songs on the soundtrack for the video game Life is Strange and I remember loving it, so I thought I would dig up the discography of this band on the back of my mind. I…

In Rainbows
Radiohead is one of the most iconic alternative bands of all time, yet I hadn’t started listening to them until a few months ago. I went through their discography in chronological order, starting with Pablo Honey and ending (for now) with In Rainbows. I didn’t care for their first two albums very much, but starting…
