Propelled by the on-point production of Will Simms and Carl Ryden, this is no downbeat diary entry.

Ben Bostick sheds his skin on “Become Other” [Album]

4 days ago | earmilk.com | Natalie Patrick

Ben Bostick has always been a songwriter’s songwriter, cutting deep with words while painting very real pictures with a dusty, well-worn guitar. But on his sixth album, "Become Other," Bostick does something far more radical than hone his craft; he reinvents it. There are no more familiar Americana shapes and country yarns that brought him five albums’ worth of critical praise.
Art Schop returns with a bold concept album “The Fifth Hammer”

4 days ago | earmilk.com | Natalie Patrick

Art Schop is back with "The Fifth Hammer," an ambitious and cerebral concept album whose themes stretch far beyond its 44-minute runtime. For this 10-track effort, that philosophical undercurrent is explored with wild abandon, taking equal cues from the story of Pythagoras, seeking a slightly discordant hammer that remains untunefully rebellious, a quest that can be something of a metaphor for rebellion, disharmony, and searching for truth in chaos.

Horseshoes is back with "suite ossuary," a gentle, haunting 8-song suite of the silent halls of heartbreak and memory. A ticking sub-40-minute watch, this new album is played but haunted. Bathed in Elliott Smith's whispered intimacy and dappled with Duster and the Postal Service's murky sadness, "Suite Obssuary" hovers like a dream on a rainy day. It’s an album that demands you take time, sit with your ghosts, and listen.

"Hazel" is a life story that, through raw emotion, contradiction, and relentless introspection, is very much alive from the moment Houston-based act Sluttony’s 63 minutes opens its mouth until its close. Over 10 tracks and not-quite-39 minutes, the band constructs a sonically edgy and thematically weighty universe around the character “Hazel,” a figure representing the multifaceted nature of femininity and identity, not to mention inner turmoil.

4 days ago | earmilk.com | Natalie Patrick

No Can Fly comes back with a raging 7-song storm that is their new album, “Chemicals Forever,” a sludgy alt-rock manifesto steeped in post-hardcore grit, noise-soaked melodies, and the kind of D.I.Y. conviction you cannot fake. At under 33 minutes, "Chemicals Forever" is a love letter to unchecked beauty.
