Tigers Jaw - Tigers Jaw
Starting this list of seven albums off with my favorite of the bunch, Tigers Jaw self-titled is a dynamic and powerful album. In my opinion this record’s strongest quality is its vocals from Adam Mcllwee which convey such passion and heartbreak. The whole band contributes...
A true mark of maturity is when you are able to make your own decisions and discoveries. But some of us have limitations or struggle to see that growth in ourselves and that makes it really hard to see pride in our accomplishments. This is where “a short hike” comes in. In 2019, sole developer...

We live in a time where most music seems manufactured and mass produced. In 1998, Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn took notice of this trend and decided to play into the humor of it all by creating a completely virtual band drawn by Hewlett and musically produced by Albarn.
The band had four distinct...
When I entered Yosemite for the first time, it was a jaw-dropping experience. We had just been driving up a winding road for what felt like an hour, and as soon as we cleared the top, I saw the largest cliff face I’d ever seen. Little did I know that it would be one of the smallest ones I’d see...

Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music
Starting off strong with my personal favorite jazz record, Charles Mingus’ Let My Children Hear Music. The album contains moments of great fragility and several high-intensity and chaotic tracks. Everything is controlled perfectly by Mingus,...
No season has garnered such a specific aesthetic as autumn. Halloween, the crisp air and warm hues– these all contribute to a universal understanding of autumn. There are certain movies that fit into this aesthetic quite well, and there are others that just have an autumn feeling that we can’t exactly...
Nostalgia is a feeling that most people feel at some point in their lives. It’s a feeling that can’t really be described but when you feel it, you know. What if there was a genre of music that invoked this feeling of nostalgia in the listener? Thankfully there is, and that genre is Vaporwave.

Emo in the 90s was completely different than it is today: bands were forming all over the world and most didn’t last very long. Strictly Ballroom is no exception to this, but what they did accomplish in their short stint together is something to be proud of.
Around this time Midwest Emo was...
