genres: progressive rock + jazz Ever wonder what a marching band passing by a prog rock concert would sound like? Probably a lot like Maps of Non-Existent Places. Blending the complexity of progressive and even math rock with a blend of jazz and big band instrumentation, Thank You Scientist have a blend of genre tropesContinue reading “Thank You Scientist – Maps of Non-Existent Places”

Yours For Mine – How Dark the Night
genres: indie rock + post-rock + melodic hardcore + emo This album was casually on my radar – their 2008 release (which I initially came across a couple years ago while skimming everything ever released on Blood & Ink Records) Dear Children never clicked for me, but they were certainly pursuing musical and lyrical complexityContinue reading “Yours For Mine – How Dark the Night”
Palisades – MIND GAMES
genres: post-hardcore + pop + electronic Probably the least acclaimed album among my all-time favorites, I dearly love this album.

Valley of Kings is an album that knows exactly what it is – heavy verses,Continue reading “The Wise Man’s Fear – Valley of Kings”
Conditions – Fluorescent Youth (10 Year Anniversary)
genres: alternative rock + post-hardcore for fans of: Boston Manor, Neck Deep, Bayside Conditions has written my favorite music. No debate. Unfortunately, they only released two true full lengths in 2010 and 2013, with an inconsistent trickle of new material since. This release, celebrating 10 years since the original Fluorescent Youth album, contains a slightlyContinue reading “Conditions – Fluorescent Youth (10 Year Anniversary)”
