Across Phoenix – “We Are Echos” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Shoegaze appears to be alive and well, as is the case with trip-hop and jangle pop, and I know that because indie rock collective Across Phoenix just blessed us with a mighty slab of all these elements mixed together.

The Destination #8 – The Well-Tempered Brontosaurus / Pilgrimage the Second
If a child spends his entire infancy in his mother’s embrace, does he reckon himself as being of her stature, or does he realize that he is small, only propped on a step? March 23rd, 2009, 6.27 AM I am acquainted with the prospect of becoming one with the soil. I can see the village… Read more
