A little more than a year ago, one of the most popular songs of 2014 on both the electronic and pop charts was The Chainsmokers‘ “#SELFIE”. I will admit that when that song hit the radio waves I thought it was silly – both in terms of it being just a silly song yet on the other hand clever in […]

    It wasn’t long ago that we featured UK electro-pop group R music, who released a fantastic song, “Bubble Gum Geisha” (video below. The chilling, cool track was part of our March 20th Weekend Showcase, and the single caught our attention. Since the band has played in venues across the UK and has a pulse on the electronic and […]

  David Alexander has been captivating the hearts and minds of music fans in his homeland of Sweden and across Europe with his optimistic, summery indie-pop. Better known by his musical moniker, Summer Heart, he released last month his latest EP, Thinking of U, which fits the mood of the upcoming warmer weather. When we asked him to write this […]

Back in February, Erik Hall – a.k.a. In Tall Buildings – released the superb Driver (available at Western Vinyl store, iTunes, Amazon, and eMusic). His sophomore album was in some ways a labor of love, taking four years to create as Hall fine-tuned every detail and nuance. The result is an album filled with 10 gorgeous tracks, highlighted by the […]

Chicago-based Sam Vicari is an unassuming musician, who yesterday released his third album, Giving Up. The short record (comes in at a cool 26 minutes stretched over 10 songs) see Vicari channel some of rock’s and indie rock’s heavyweights musically and lyrically – from Elliott Smith to Rivers Cuomo. It’s a jangly little album, one with wailing guitars, a bit […]

Zachary Cale has become a good friend of The Revue. He was the second musician that I interviewed, going back to September 2013, where we enjoyed a few tacos and queso at Union Pool in Brooklyn. His fourth album, Blue Rider, was one of our 25 Favorite Albums of 2013, and not because he took time to do an interview […]

Electronic and progressive house music have obviously exploded over the past seven, eight years. There has been wave after wave of new artists being introduced every day within these genres. One group emerging from the flood is Lost Kings, the Los Angeles-based duo that has been applauded for the euphoric remixes. What’s interesting about Rob and Nick (who is also […]

Under the pseudonym Slim Twig (website / Twitter), Toronto-born, singer-songwriter and actor Max Turnbull has been creating his unique interpretation of indie music. It’s cinematic, a bit spooky, and incorporates everything from rock to pop to saloon-style blues. If Jonathan Richman comes to mind, that would be a good comparison. A Hound at the Hem by Slim Twig He has […]

On March 10, CaveofswordS (website/Facebook/Twitter), the dark dub-wave quartet from St. Louis, will release their debut album, Sigils, on Boxing Clever Records. A few weeks ago, they released the sublime “Blameless”, which anchored our January 30th Weekend Showcase. As they prepare for their big launch, Sunyatta McDermott, Kevin McDermott, Eric Ambruster, and Zagk Gibbons took some time out to participate […]

Vision Fortune are an experimental, electronic duo from… to be honest, I have no idea where, but I’m going to assume the UK, as they’ve played most of their shows around the Brighton-London-Manchester corridor and their previous album was released on Brighton-based label, Faux Discx. Little is known about the duo, and they don’t like to show their faces in […]

Earlier this year, South Carolina native Sean Neuse released his debut solo album under the moniker Color of Light. The project’s name is fitting as Memory is a sonic escapade that has the feel of hypnotic lights flashing all around you. The album is definitely ambient yet experimental. It’s a challenging listen for those looking for something straightforward and based […]

If you follow The Revue, each Friday we do the Mundo List, highlighting some great bands, music, videos, what have you. Today, we’re introducing the Mundo List’s second cousin, Artiste 5. It is a simple concept – we’ve asked artists and bands to submit a list to us of anything they want to write about. They are given full autonomy to […]
