The Swear: Graveyard SongsImmediate confession:For the longest time, in my wallet, I carried around a guitar pick I had thrown at me the first time I ever saw Atlanta rock band The Swear live.

Where do I begin to tell you how thrilled I am to be writing this?Let’s start here:Ellen Allien’s SOOL sucked. It was minimal techno made for people who came so late to the party they’d feast on crumbs and scraps, a self-indulgent snoozefest that was painful to listen to made only worse upon realization that [...]

Shaun will be the first to point out that hip-hop, rap, and freak folk are totally his domain here on Resonator. While he doesn’t give me grief about not being into the latter (surely plenty of people can understand why Joanna Newsom’s voice is like large-grit sandpaper down a person’s spine, no matter how talented [...]

Sally Shapiro’s first album, Disco Romance, was a cute little Swedish disco-pop confection, introducing the world at large to the shy big-eyed stare and trembling-hand stammers of one of dance music’s least likely heroines. In a way, Sally Shapiro has, since then, become a sort of anti-kitten and anti-Kittin, refusing to allow the fame of [...]

It seems everyone’s having the same day today-gloomy, rainy, wet.

That might also have something to do with this year’s SY album, The Eternal, being a bit..rote. Lackluster. At least Rather Ripped [...]

It’s hot in New York. The sweltering, energy-sapping sort of hot that could only come from a city able to have efficient massive underground public transportation but no central heating and cooling. It’s a wake you up in the middle of the night sort of heat, fans do no good, neither do ice cubes on [...]
