Brian Bonz & The Dot Hongs - From Sumi To Japan
From Sumi To Japan Brian Bonz's voice is so angelic that it sounds perfectly acceptable when the NYC schoolteacher sings, "I'm just next in line with the sharpest knife and the desire to make these children die" ("Dee The Dinosaur").

Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Bon Iver Bon Iver There's a moment during “The Wolves (Act I And II),” from Bon Iver’s breakthrough debut, For Emma, Forever Ago, where the most brutal contrast simply works.

Chiodos - Bone Palace Ballet
Chiodos Bone Palace Ballet Forget what you think you know about Chiodos because Bone Palace Ballet is no masquerade: It’s a frighteningly mighty album of exhilarating musicianship and inspired lyrical introspection that dodges easy categorization and plays out like an evening at some glorious experimental-hardcore cabaret, topped by a nightcap at the broke-down bordello across […]
