Album Reviews – Robert Moses & The Harmony Crusaders

abigailpixler5452

PLUTONIC FRIENDS By Robert Moses & the Harmony Crusaders Psychedelic Americana | Norway Imagine that Hank Williams and Neil Young were able to make a baby on their own and named the little baby miracle Robert Moses. OK, maybe that’s a little bit off-the-wall, but I do see similarities in Robert Moses’ sometimes shaky voice, musical stylings and the trajectory that he is shooting for. Is Plutonic Friends the best that Moses and his Harmony Crusaders have to offer us? Maybe. Maybe not. As I sit here, reviewing this album, I am listening to it for at least the fifth … Continue reading Album Reviews – Robert Moses & The Harmony Crusaders

Spotlight: South Africa

abigailpixler5452

South Africa is home to a buzzing, blossoming and booming music scene. We’ve covered other South African artists like Sakawa Boys and Sannie Fox on here before but since the list of amazing artists is growing there rather rapidly, we figured we would spew out a few of our favorites. The really cool thing about South Africa is that it is home to a very eclectic mix of music, often resulting in the fusion of genres. Like, for instance, orchestral stuff with dance, electronic-folk, etc. and your pick of one of eleven national languages for the singing.   NOMADIC ORCHESTRA … Continue reading Spotlight: South Africa

Žagar

abigailpixler5452

A Time Capsule’s Tale HUNGARY | EXPERIMENTAL/PSYCHEDELIC I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love when I can’t define a band’s music! Though, this is something entirely different from the likes of China’s Leah Dou or Iceland’s Björk. This is psychedelic, man. Like, totally. Žagar is a band utilizing the things of the past to bring music back to life today, vintage sound clips and all. Upon first listen, you can pick up the subtleties drawing from inspirations like The Doors and Pink Floyd, but the band also stays inspired by newer artists like Floating Points … Continue reading Žagar

Reyno

abigailpixler5452

Not Too Long Ago… In a Galaxy Not Too Far Away MEXICO | SPACE ROCK OK, so the only reason I know Reyno is because I fell down a musical rabbit-hole on Apple Music several months ago when searching for Latin Rock and wow – I REGRET NOTHING. [I recommend everyone take trips through musical rabbit holes as often as you can, by the way!] I stumbled upon Pacifico (Peaceful), a song from their 2015 album Dualidad (Duality) and could not stop listening to these guys for well over a week. I was practically shouting my love for their epic … Continue reading Reyno

Sannie Fox

abigailpixler5452

A Fox To Be Reckoned With SOUTH AFRICA | Rock/Blues Good ole rock n’ roll is not dead, folks… It is actually quite alive and thriving in the form of a South African musician named Sannie Fox. If you dig 70’s rock, or powerful, soulful voices, then this is the new rock goddess for you. Fox’s music reaches all ages due to it’s timeless nature, channeling the magic that was classic rock, while representing something new through melodies that swirl about flawlessly, almost tribal. Serpente Masjien, meaning Serpent Machine, is her debut album as a solo artist and is an … Continue reading Sannie Fox
