The third edition of Minnesota Yacht Club has wrapped was a resounding success. Through sweltering temperatures, heat lightning, and rain drops, none of it phased the over 35,000 fans who came each day to Harriet Regional Park. Celebrating music and summer on the water, it continues to be a highlight for the thousands of Minnesotans and the travelers. Friday Pat Kennedy is a name will be known far and wide very soon. Hailing from Boston, and a recent graduate of Berklee, Kennedy dances the oh so fine line of bringing classic cassette rock and roll with a modern push. Through … Continued

By Rob Rodriguez Radiohead. You never know what you’re going to get, but you can always expect a collection of tracks that will first leave you puzzled, and then blown away. The group released their eighth album, The King of Limbs, online a day ahead of schedule on February 18th, and it does not disappoint or skew away from their usual theme. Like most Radiohead, The King of Limbs requires a listen or two to fully appreciate and understand everything that is happening. The distinct feature of the album (besides Thom Yorke’s ridiculous vocal range and stability) is the inclusion … Continued

By Claire Diver Tennis’s debut album, “Cape Dory,” chronicles an eight-month long sailboat trip taken by the husband-and-wife duo behind the music, Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore. The result of the voyage is an album of nostalgic, lo-fi, beach pop. Moore’s voice sweetly echoes 60s girl groups like the Shangri-Las as she sings about love, sailing, and coconuts. Although the album is only 29 minutes long, it feels complete – a balance is struck between high-tempo ditties like “Take Me Somewhere” and “Seafarer” and the more leisurely “Bimini Bay” and “Waterbirds.” The high points of the album include more meditative … Continued
By Alexa Squire Dan Bejar, an occasional member of the New Pornographers and Swan Lake, has been recording as Destroyer for nearly two decades, varying his style with every album. On Kaputt, his tenth full length release, Bejar takes on some of the most poorly regarded musical styles of American history: 80’s pop, smooth jazz, and easy listening. You read that right. Bejar’s album is full of that smoky, dreamy 80’s synth-wash sound, complete with flutes, hi-hats, and jazz saxophone. Think Kenny G. This style choice is almost enough to turn some listeners away, but Bejar finds a way to … Continued

By Kendall McCabe Akron/Family catches the harsh hums between a magnet and its polar opposite, then magnifies that noise. Live, the group employs an abundance of three-part harmonies, atmospheric sounds, and experimentation. Their latest release, S/T II: The Cosmic Birth & Journey of Shinju TNT, is full of contrasting tracks that tugs the listener every which way in a manner that is much more exciting than exhausting. And it makes sense. The group traveled through Japan and Europe together searching out inspiration for the record. The experimental, folk-inspired group is made up of members Dana Janssen, Seth Olinsky, and Miles … Continued
