In June 2019, Mariee Sioux released her third album, Grief in Exile. The album is haunting and powerful. The impression that I take away is that we can be sad and in control. Eventually, we can put our own depression back on the shelf. Her voice sounds like Joan Baez. Sioux doesn’t sound exactly likeContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Mariee Sioux”

Sleep Deprived Music Review: The Paranoias
In October 2020, The Paranoias and Profesor Galactico released a joint album, Nightmare/Hope to See You Next Year. The music is like if Jack Skellington joined a Latin ska fusion band. The music has some spooky carnival vibes combined with Latin ska and a hint of lots of other genres. I’ve been listening to theContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: The Paranoias”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Danielle Durack
Phoenix-based singer/songwriter, Danielle Durack, will be releasing a new album, No Place, on January 15. The songs sound like Durack is making peace with her heartache. The music is relaxing and reflective. If she can make peace with sadness, can we? I feel a bit more hopeful after listening to this album. In the videoContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Danielle Durack”

I’ve been listeningContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Myles Cameron”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Andreya Triana
London native Andreya Triana released her album, Life in Colour, in 2019. I first heard of Triana while watching the So Far Sounds series on YouTube. Personally, I really enjoy her music.

Sleep Deprived Music Review: Jack Name
On Jack Name’s latest album, Magic Touch, you will hear music that is very mellow and pared down to only what is necessary . . . no extras, nothing fancy but still beautiful. The music is so quiet and relaxing. It’s good music for reflecting on all of your life choices and looking towards theContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Jack Name”
Music Review: IDLES
It’s been a great time for rock music. Bands from all over the world have come out with stellar releases that push the boundaries of what’s possible in the genre. And one of the latest additions to the growing list of great rock releases is IDLES’ Ultra Mono. The Bristol-based punk band IDLES had a pretty good yearContinue reading “Music Review: IDLES”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Loud Apartment
It feels like a revolution is coming out of my stereo. I want the album to play until the patriarchy crumbles into a pile of dust. Loud Apartment of New York City is a funk band with influences from reggae, dubstep and soul music. They remind me of jazz/funk bands that I used to hearContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Loud Apartment”

The music of Peach Kelli Pop feels like bubblegum, rainbows, Lisa Frank stickers and happiness. It might not be for everyone but we need to find happiness where we can. So I am all for Peach Kelli Pop and the good vibes. My favorite song on the album, Lucky Star, is “Close to You.” PeachContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Peach Kelli Pop”
