“Chris of Wilderness's 9th album Smoke Up Every Mountain puts it's hat in the ring for the dankest record of the year award.”
Jangly post-punk at its finest: Baby Combat's 12 / Pop Is The Noblest Genre collates fuzzy, hook-led guitar songs with nervous energy and a scrappy post-punk edge into one essential double album. Jacob's Fall's Lost In Silence channels melancholy and inner struggle into dark, atmospheric, deeply melodic rock that's intensely elegiac yet never hopeless. Chris of Wilderness's White Swami delivers a pharmaceutical-grade shot of hip-hop beats fused with synth/sampler paranoia and poetic explorations of drugs, the panopticon, and faith, while John Titor's Time Machine's It's Time to Bounce, Amigo! is a proggy, industrial, and gloriously crass punk odyssey — no filler, all killer.
