Who: Ravive What: Synth-pop Why: “‘Sahara’ was an experience. I wanted to really paint the visual of trudging through the desert, feeling exhausted, but still trying to make it home. Pop music has always been a euphoric, but sometimes heartbreaking sonic trip for me, so I wanted to create a song that could be thatContinue reading “Meet and Greet: Ravive”

Interview with . . . Apollo Twenty
Let’s just say for the sake of the argument that I was looking for a cult to join. I would be tempted to join the cult of Vincent Walter Jacob.

Lunar Femmes will be releasing a second EP,Continue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Lunar Femmes”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Wild Moccasins
Synth pop is different now than it was in the 80s and 90s. There were synth pop/indie pop bands that I liked back then – mostly Duran Duran. Some got on my nerves.
