MusicAlbum Review: The Echo Chamber SynesthesiaI’m going into The Echo Chamber’s new release, Synesthesia, completely blind. While I have an interest in electronic music, I don’t necessarily listen to a lot of it, and while The Echo Chamber has played here in Greeley, I can’t recall ever attending one of their shows. So I’m largely judging it as if this is the group’s first album, even though this is the Fort Collins-based group’s second release.Jay Wallace · Dec 10, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Los Condensadores de Fluzo Rockabilly “Typicat” SpanishCondensadores de Fluzo es la traducción incorrecta de Flux Capacitor que debería de ser condensador de flujo cuál es la parte principal de la máquina del tiempo de la película Back to the Future.Crystal Mendoza · Dec 8, 2014MusicNew Music Mondays: “Lake Song” The DecemberistsAt the release of this article, it has been nearly 4 years since The Decemberists released a new studio album.Clark Lamson · Dec 8, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Springtime Carnivore Self-TitledGreta Morgan Salpeter (better known simply as Greta Morgan) began playing piano at the tender age of three.Clark Lamson · Dec 8, 2014MusicNew Music Monday: The Endless RiverPink Floyd released a new album which marks their first studio album release since The Division Bell in 1994.Cole Peterson · Dec 1, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Born to Wander – Self-Titled EPIt’s not every day that you get a debut album from a jazz trio, but more often than not, the music on it doesn’t sound that much different from anything else out there that’s getting play on the radio.Jay Wallace · Nov 25, 2014MusicNew Music Monday: Manchester Orchestra Releases HopeManchester Orchestra is not new to the game.Jed Murphy · Nov 24, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Crunchy Kids – MintWhen thinking of Minneapolis and hip-hop, Rhymesayers is the undeniable forefront.Rose Hedberg · Nov 17, 2014FilmFilm Review: The JudgeDid you know Robert Downey, Jr. has been nominated for an Oscar twice?Jay Wallace · Nov 16, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Silver and Gold – CompressionSilver and Gold have been a Greeley talent treasure trove with bounds of musical silver, and surprise, surprise… premium gold.Alex Johnson · Nov 5, 2014MusicAlbum Review: The Deadwood Saints 6th Street TrinityAlternative country is something that I don’t necessarily pay much attention to, even though I have a love and appreciation for country music.Jay Wallace · Oct 26, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Too Many Zoos, Fanimals EPSelf-described brass house trio Too Many Zooz has only been around since late last year, and rose to national prominence sometime in January when someone posted a video of the group performing in Union Square.Christopher Sheridan · Oct 21, 2014FilmFilm Review: TuskWhen I was younger, I willingly sat through three Saw movies without flinching.BandWagon Magazine · Oct 14, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Camila, ElypsePor primera vez en la historia de Camila tenemos un dúo.BandWagon Magazine · Oct 10, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Zoe- ProgramatonZoé es una banda Latinoamericana formada por cinco integrantes.BandWagon Magazine · Sep 17, 2014FilmFilm Review: SnowpiercerFor the past year or so, Captain America star Chris Evans has been stating in interviews that he’ll probably retire from acting after his contract with Marvel Studios is done,…Jay Wallace · Sep 13, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Tv Girl – French ExitTV Girl started as a collaboration between Brad Petering and Trung Ngo before becoming Petering’s solo act in 2013. Petering casually refers to French Exit as a solo album “Depending on how you look at it,” which is an odd line considering this follows a 15-track mixtape a couple of years ago titled The Wild, the Innocent, the TV Shuffle. The album’s Bandcamp page goes on to advertise “12 songs about lost lust, too much love and not enough.”Christopher Sheridan · Sep 12, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Ty Segall – ManipulatorLaguna Beach native Ty Segall has exploded with popularity since he started popping up in lo-fi garage rock bands around Orange County in the early 2000’s, and now, Segall’s solo…Kyle Eustice · Sep 12, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Operations – EP 1In terms of comparisons, Operators are probably closest in sounds to Handsome Furs. Not to be confused by the hard rock band of the same name, Operators sport a peppy electronic sound that splits the difference evenly among its songs between clean, exciting beats and softer, fuzzier sounds. It mostly works quite well, and with the different types of ideas and sounds Boeckner experiments with on the album, it’s exciting to anticipate what he’ll do with the next Operators release, especially if that release is enabled by the expanse and budget of a full-length album.Christopher Sheridan · Sep 10, 2014MusicAlbum Review: Bear In Heaven – Time Is Over One Day OldFormed in 2003, Bear in Heaven have been releasing contemplative, psychedelic synth music since before (and now quite a while after) such a sound stumbled its way into the zeitgeist.Matt Hutcheson · Aug 18, 2014
