Reviews
See All 
The Cure, Songs of a Lost World
The lyrical doom and gloom that matches the music’s slowed, metallic, ethereal ambience on the band’s first record in 16 years focuses very pointedly on true death.
Planes Mistaken for Stars, Do You Still Love Me?
The Colorado heavy rockers’ fifth and final record exhibits their broadest sense of appeal, ranging from aggressive noise rock to catchy post-hardcore hooks.
Leaving Time, Angel in the Sand
At various turns haunting, alluring, catchy, and confident, the Jacksonville shoegazers’ well-considered debut introduces the band with aplomb.
