Ulrich Schnauss Interview/Metro Gallery Review

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I have tried to apply the lede to nut graf format I learned during my brief print journalism career to Aural States posts. My former editor rode me for excessive "throat clearing." I never got over that habit, and I'll now take the chance to indulge. I had gotten ...

Sound Off!: These New Puritans (BYT Edition)

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

I'm not gonna lie, These New Puritans are scratching an itch. One I never realized I had until I heard their debut Beat Pyramid a few weeks ago and it suddenly stopped bothering me...this venn-diagram-intersection-shaped gap between dub, electronic, dancehall, post-punk, balls-out indie rock, hip-hop and a dozen other ...
