  Featured Album: Every Bad
  Release Date: Mar 13, 2020

  Every Bad

  "Thank you for making me happy", repeats Porridge Radio's Dana Margolin on 'Every Bad' opener 'Born Confused', a sentiment which unsettlingly spirals from its initial whimsical delivery into a pained, otherworldly caterwaul. It sets the tone for a record that never really presents itself as either fully happy or miserable, treading the dense grey area that floats between the two.

The guitars as played mainly by Reine Fiske (mainly) and bandleader Gustav Ejstes are massive when they are cranked up,...

  Release Date: Mar 13, 2020

  The Common Task

  Baltimore quartet Horse Lords play a complex, polyrhythmic form of music that incorporates just intonation, algorithmic composition, and microtonal harmonies. Instead of being a purely academic exercise, however, the group apply these techniques to sprawling, groove-heavy instrumental rock songs, equally influenced by Krautrock and Saharan desert blues as well as composers like Terry Riley and James Tenney. The Common Task is their fourth studio album,...
