Album Review: Alan Vega- Mutator

Image
Mutator is a new p osthumous solo album by Suicide Alan Vega, recorded between 1996 and 1998, it was released on April 23, 2021.  Alan Vega was a free spirit, a kind of massive creativity, unrestricted from the late 1950s to the years as part of Suicide, and until his death in 2016, at 78, he was always composing. That process resulted in a lot of material that did not see the light, and which became known as "the Vega Vault".  Vega was characterized by being very prolific, many of his works were recorded even without prospects of being published one day. "Mutator" will be the first album. in a series of unreleased releases of files written and recorded by Alan Vega himself. Soon after, they mixed and produced the songs with his friend Jared Artaud, Vega's confidante.

Album Review: Pearl Charles - Magic Mirror

Magic Mirror is the second studio full-length album by American singer Pearl Charles, It was released on January 15, 2021.  I've waited for so long for this type of 70s vibe to make a resurgence in music and it's been poppin' off in the past few years. Love this album. Love her singing voice.

Mommy Don't Spank Me is a brand new  compilation album by American Indie rock band The Drums, It was released on April 2, 2021.  However, The Drums did not disappoint in exposing this record, the alternate versions of songs such as 'Money,' 'Let's Go Surfing,' and 'Days.' While each remix is distinctive , the general resonance of this album has taken a much more dim subdued and lo-fi sound as compared to their more upbeat and eccentric sounding music from their early albums. t he track that especially sparkled on this album had to have been 'When I Come Home.' Not only is this song has an honest message in its vulnerable lyrics, something to relate too. but rather kindly surprised for a new album to throw on in any setting for this upcoming summer season.   An album of change and exploration, it has turned into a musical compilation master piece.   Very interested to see where The Drums head after this, whether they continue to experiment or st
