Killed by The Architects is the new solo project of Chicago musician Jamie Berkes, and his self-titled album is a dark wave revelation that seems to have come from nowhere. It has been said numerous times that Interpol is merely a copycat of Joy Division, and although it is tempting to say that Killed by The Architects is doing Interpol doing Joy Division, such a statement would be reductive and simply untrue. However, it does provide an easy jumping off point. Although undoubtedly influenced by both bands, Berkes leans more toward the artier side of the post-punk spectrum, and he sometime...

Bahadır Han Eryılmaz, and they recently released the first volume of their third album entitled Open Sesame. If that’s confusing at all, essentially they had recorded so much music for this album that they are splitting it up and the first part is called Her Dress. It remains to be seen how much of the five planned volumes will maintain a certain level of consistency in quality (a typical problem with any extended album), but the first part definitely sets the bar high. As the colorful artwork suggests, the songs are a vibrant, joyous explosion, and clearly it is a testament to just how...

Blueanimal, an alt-rock group from Orlando, Florida, are set to release their third album next month. Entitled Figment That Was Me, the album is claimed by the band to be their darkest yet and it is obvious that in it the band’s singer/songwriter Luke Elms has a lot going on in his mind.

Clear influences of Soundgarden and Alice in Chains create an impassioned, emotionally raw sound that suits the lyric...

Hello Morning, the debut album of Bay Area duo Wax Moon, is no exception. Regardless of the interruption, however, the album was three years in the making; a concerted indie folk effort between John Blatchford and Paul Kimball recorded sparsely in the former’s garage as they moved away sonically from their previous bands and crafted something rawer and more pared-down. In the songs one can hear a clear influence from the best of Simon and Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills, and Nash, when the emphasis was on the harmonies above all. For the most part, the instrumentation is limited to acoust...

Tim Husmann, an electronic indie artist influenced by bands like Radiohead and The Virgin Suicides. Earlier this month, Husmann released a new album Seven Years of Silence, titled after the seven year hiatus the artist took from the industry, and he played all of the instrumentation himself. That time away seems to have been spent wisely, because Husmann collected the emotions and experiences from those years and turned them into a collection of deeply vunerable songs that appear here, and what is immediately obvious is that the artist clearly has had a lot to on his mind for a long time.
