O’Connor – Percussion Two years ago the New York based band Radio 4 had just released Gotham! that included the single, “Save Your City.” The song, drenched in waves of post punk and small club dance nights, was taken as an ode […]
Hold my hand and we’ll walk down the dusty trail, through an old Midwestern town that still sports an old fashioned Coke vending machine, complete with the small bottles of dark liquid happiness on a hot day. Then we’ll hop back in the big Impala convertible and head for the California shore, driving all night […]
There’s something poignant about a singer and their guitar. If they’re able to really grab your attention and not be a mere backdrop to a latte frappe, then any added instrumentation is just whipped cream on your mocha.
French natives Phoenix draw from many different influences on their latest album, Alphabetical. This record is truly a journey, and by the time it’s almost over, you feel as though you’ve landed on another record; one that’s almost completely different from the sound that started off the trip.

This being the next incarnation of musical expression from Ben Watt (Everything but the Girl, Lazy Dog), the mix is filled with deep soulful house just in time for summer. Tunes from all over the globe come together for a ride that will make you smile, with the warmth you feel right after you get […]
Every so often an album comes along that actually burns an image within your life that can never be erased. One that reminds you of an entire time period. One that may only be best described through the soundscapes in which it creates. This, much like the majority of Air’s phenomenal releases, is without a […]
If I had one word to describe The Sleepy Jackson, it would be “catchy!” Fortunately, the good people at Kaffeine Buzz allow me a little more leeway than just one word.
