Postcards From Jeff is in “A House”

Postcards From Jeff has an unusual name and an even more unusual sound. Jeff’s rough voice is amazing and speaks volumes to me. The heavy percussion in the background is a nice touch as well, it helps a slower song like ‘A House’ feel a little faster and helps the listener stay focused. The lyrics themselves were really nice as well and I can see them connecting with a wide audience. The only thing I would pick out is that Jeff’s voice almost becomes platonic throughout the song. He seems to stay very close to one or two notes and it can get boring to listen to of he’s not careful. Other than that I think Postcards From Jeff is doing pretty good and have them on my list to watch.

Alexander Wildwood’s “Bad Blood”

Love it! The hard beat and driving feel of ‘Bad Blood’ is amazing. Normally I would complain about the warped voice but it fits Alex’s voice and the fast tempo of the song makes it feel right. The organic, intense feeling I got from Alex’s music is truly exciting and makes me want to listen to his other songs. I can even picture him doing a slower song and it still working. It’s very rare for me to have few critics and even rarer for me to have virtually none. This is one of those rarer cases. Everything about ‘Bad Blood’ was working for me and I’m really excited to follow Alex and see what else he comes up with.

Maggie Rogers gives us “Little Joys”

I was really intrigued by the intro of Maggie’s song ‘Little Joys’ but the treatment of her voice didn’t do it for me. I didn’t even mind the slower tempo most of the time. At some spots it felt a little draggy and could have been kept up a little better but I think the rhythm of the vocals pulled it along. The raw feel of her music is brilliant and I wouldn’t change a thing. Especially towards the end where only the strings are playing. As long as Maggie makes sure to not let her music get too draggy and fix that voice treatment she’ll become one of my favorites and others as well.

Godzilla Rampages Through PlayStation 3

Bandai Namco Games is streaming a trailer of their upcoming Japanese release of Godzilla, for the PlayStation 3. In the game Godzilla will battle some of his fellow creatures: Mecha Godzilla; King Ghidorah; and Mothra. I would expect that at some point this game will be available in the North American market, but as of now it is only in Japan. So unless you have a PlayStation 3 from that region, you’ll have to be patient. Check out the trailer below:

Adventure Galley’s “Marooned”

What is today’s bands deal with old, trippy sounding vocals? I was hooked from the very beginning of ‘Marooned’ and was taken out of it by the vocals. The electro feel they have going on is awesome and makes me instantly start to move. The voice treatment is what stops me from enjoying this song as much as I want to. I’ve run across this problem a lot over my time reviewing music and I wish it would just stop. Adventure Galley is an awesome name and the group has amazing potential if they would just fix that one little bit.

-April B.

This is were different people like different things. I guess I’m one of those old timers 🙂 that likes this sound. Like April said the beat gets you moving and for me the vocals remind me of some of the bands in my day. The one that comes to mind mostly is The Cars and their style. I also love the music video with the 1950’s SciFi Movie feel, right up my alley. Two differing opinions, which is great that’s what makes all of this interesting. – Richard
