Grails : Miracle Music

2 weeks ago | treblezine.com | Langdon Hickman

Last I checked in with Grails, they had just released their then-newest record Anches En Maat. Where previous records of theirs like Doomsdayer’s Holiday and the six volumes of Black Tar Prophecies showed a band only just beginning to break loose from some of the heavy music foundations the players came from as they moved toward more psychedelic and rich sound fields, Anches felt like the first fully formed record theirs that fully cemented their identity.
Jenny Hval : Iris Silver Mist

1 month ago | treblezine.com | Langdon Hickman

Tonally speaking, Jenny Hval the novelist and Jenny Hval the musician couldn’t be further apart. Her novels, brilliant and brief, jagged like aged daggers, focus on a grit and grime of the body and our enmeshment within them, intimate in their portrayal of the natural violence of the heart and the thresholds of the sublime beyond the abject.
Perfume Genius : Glory

2 months ago | treblezine.com | Langdon Hickman

Hello everyone, it’s me, the person who vastly prefers Ugly Season with its avant-garde textures and deep texturalism over the other records Michael Hadreas has released under the Perfume Genius name. Obviously, I’m aware of his sharp acumen as a songwriter; his work prior to Ugly Season was an upward climb for me until Set Your Heart On Fire Immediately, the clear apex up until that point of his more song-oriented material.

Lonnie Holley : Tonky

2 months ago | treblezine.com | Langdon Hickman

First, a point of correction. A few years ago when reviewing a previous Lonnie Holley record, Broken Mirror, made in collaboration with Matthew E. White, I wrongly presumed that the direction of the music was more driven by Holley than it turned out to be. Beyond wanting to offer a direct apology to White regarding that error, it also offered an instructive view of the compositional process for Holley’s work overall.
Jason Isbell : Foxes in the Snow

2 months ago | treblezine.com | Langdon Hickman

Jason Isbell has been one of my favorites for a while, a position I staked out deliberately following Southeastern’s Chicxulub impact into the crooked bones of my life. You start to see from the outside structures that perhaps the artist, embedded deep into the flesh of the machinery of their own creations, perhaps cannot always keenly see.
you, infinite : you, infinite

Mar 6, 2025 | treblezine.com | Langdon Hickman

The self-titled album from you, infinite has provided me with such a vexing set of thoughts. First, the most obvious: this record is enjoyable, a solid slice of post-rock from old players of the genre, Jeremy Galindo and Raymond Brown having long been members of This Will Destroy You. And if you approach it wanting that glacial grandeur and modern rock-arranged orchestral work, you will be satisfied.
