On 2012 s The Marble Downs, Bonnie Prince Billy provided vocals for an album of songs by Trembling Bells. It was a fruitful meeting of mind and voice, but one that promised the real bounty when those songs were taken on the road. That was delivered in summer of that year when the Bells & Bonnie…
A Tribe Called Quest – Q-Tip, Phife Dawg (who passed away on March 22, 2016), Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi White – the groundbreaking 90s group that forever transformed the urban music landscape, detonates new shock waves on their first – and last – new studio album together in 18 years, We Got It From Here…Thank You…

In early 2009, the band released it s debut studio album The Horror. Their second full length studio album The…
An official reissue, with the original gatefold jacket and the original large booklet reproduced. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with side D etched. Sweden s Tribulation have been one of the most innovative bands working in metal in the new millennium. Their third album The Children Of The Night (2015) saw the band leap even…
Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Sweden s kings of gothic, deathly metal return with the new album, Where the Gloom Becomes Sound. Moored by an incredible songwriting team, developed by a brilliant production team, and aesthetically in a league of their own, it s a wonder Tribulation aren t playing stadiums. Where the Gloom Becomes…
The Vancouver duo Tribunal may yet be unknown to the wider world, but spellbinding debut album The Weight Of Remembrance is poised to immediately change that. Steeped in the black velvet finery of Gothic doom metal, Tribunal weave dark tales of ultimate judgement, never-ending rain and forsaken despair. Featuring classically trained cellist bassist vocalist Soren…
Tricky might be over three decades deep into his music career but he’s currently on a creative roll. In the last year he’s put out an acclaimed autobiography, Hell Is Round The Corner, dropped the enchanting 20,20 EP and is on the verge of releasing Fall To Pieces, his 14th studio album, on 4th September.
For Tricky s fifth album Juxtapose he teamed with DJ Muggs (the architect of Cypress Hill s sound, a clear precedent for Tricky s) and DMX s producer, Grease. This album is quite obviously a Tricky album: a highly eccentric artist, an unusual mix of collaborators, an entirely new expression and message.
Fresh off the release of latest single Love Me More and three consecutive Top 5 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 in just over 12 months, multi-platinum rapper singer Trippie Redd is back with the highly-anticipated fourth installment of his A Love Letter To You mixtape series. The 21-track collection includes features from DaBaby, Juice WRLD, Lil Yachty, Smokepurpp, YNW Melly, Tory…
Austin power trio TROLLER fuse fuzz bass, heavy analog electronics, and cinematic sound design into a simmering eight-song exorcism on their full-length Relapse debut Drain. Led by bassist and singer Amber Star-Goers, the line-up includes synthesist and rhythm programmer Adam Jones (of S U R V I V E), and guitarist and engineer Justin Star-Goers…
Continuing to exploit their creative urges to their ends, multi-platinum electronic duo Daft Punk (Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) took on one of their most ambitious projects to date in 2008, when they agreed to score the modern remake of the hugely influential 1982 film, Tron. Daft Punk s reverence of the original film and the themes that define…
We like what Trouble have done with this album, Plastic Green Head . The music sounds fairly dissimilar to the completely doom-laden, crushing riffs present on the earlier material, but what Trouble do here sounds every bit authentic. Not to mislead you, this definitely still sounds like Trouble, but they seem to have adopted a…
Trouble’s early work and, in particular, “Psalm 9” represent everything that Doom Metal should be (but so often is not). Think about it, here is a band who are really rather diverse, with regard to tempo, arrangements and mood, and are not afraid to break the mould of what is typically expected of a Doom…
Here we have Trouble returning with “Simple Mind Condition”, after a long hiatus (twelve years had passed since the release of “Plastic Green Head”), taking once more to theskies of metal. Some complaints and criticism followed upon its release which are not really fair. Although fat and doomy stomps as on “Psalm 9” and “The…
Trouble s second album The Skull is not a sophomore slump, it is the shedding of dead skin. In fact, the sophomore slump is a disease that rarely seems to strike in the metal realm and was near non-existent for any half decent early 80 s metal band. As bands were being picked up relatively quickly by labels…
Power Struggle offers the listener an opportunity to hear the Tru-Tones in their prime. The band’s expansion into disco resulted in a couple of killer tracks in ‘Let’s Party’ and ’Dancing’ (a true dance floor winner), that are embedded within a slab of incredible reggae and funky calypso numbers. A prime example of how to…
