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 Nick Robertson 5. Lost in the Woods. Kicking off this list of five is none other then Tiger Woods. After being placed as a top seed in the Match Play Championship in Arizona he lost on an extra hole to be eliminated in the first round by 20th seed Thomas Bjorn. Tiger looked like he had regained his young swagger by sinking a clutch birdie shot to send the match to an extra hole, but that was the end of the new/old Tiger, the next shot he sent quite literally into a desert where he then would have boogied … 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
