“The War We Miss? by Jacob's Fall is sometimes playful, then sinfully counterintuitive, sometimes theatrical, always atmospheric, then somber and melancholic.”
From the desert to the subconscious, alternative runs deep: Dino DiMuro's ELMWOOD finally surfaces after 20 years — a head-trippy avant-rock concept album pulled from the archives at last. Ken Wohlrob's Forgotten Music conjures instinctual ambient compositions that feel "both familiar and alien," while theJLM scores a 23-minute experimental film dissecting the pernicious unreality of the American Dream. Libel blends danceable synth-pop with guitar theatrics on The Accumulation of Things, and Chris of Wilderness delivers mutant bluesy electronic rock born from scorched-earth Sonoran Desert sessions. Jonathan Hadley asks "who are you when you stop trying to please everyone else?" and Get Lost Cassidy Frost answers with a tender, KEXP-approved late-night drive of a song.
“The War We Miss? by Jacob's Fall is sometimes playful, then sinfully counterintuitive, sometimes theatrical, always atmospheric, then somber and melancholic.”
“Lithium and a Lollipop by Chris of Wilderness is a mutated but beautiful blend of scorched earth blues, alien electronics, and end times poetry.”
“FORGOTTEN MUSIC is the first full-length ambient / experimental album from Ken Wohlrob.”
“War Horny by Chris of Wilderness cruises and explodes through the apocalypse with paranoid electronics and burning poetics.”
“Perfect fall music, the kind of song you’d listen to late at night on a long drive home.”
“White Swami is a deliciously paranoid and psychedelic electronic album stuffed with off-kilter beats and raw, poetic lyrics.”
“'A Madman's Dream/Mind Descending' fuses punk’s feral bite with post‑punk’s cold precision, lurching between fever‑dream urgency and razor‑edged clarity”
