Daily Yinz – alvin row – Brussels Train

The ambient artist's latest album is Acrobats (Crafted Sounds). alvin row wrings feeling from the slightest of sounds, a vocal wisp, a synth wash, a warm and fuzzy bass tone, a gentle percussive break. In alvin's hands, any of those bits can open a door, to wonder, mischief, longing, euphoric loneliness. Acrobats' pieces evoke pre-linguistic … Continue reading Daily Yinz – alvin row – Brussels Train →

Daily Yinz – Pat Coyle – Water Climb

The multi-instrumentalist recently released an EP called Impenetrable. The EP's four songs--three of which feature Good Sport's Ryan Hizer on keys, synth, and bass--capture the shifting, elliptical nature of human emotion. These are love songs that express how it actually feels to love somebody over time; the warmth, the worry, the depth, the doubt, all … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Pat Coyle – Water Climb →

Daily Yinz – Incentive – i don’t trust you

The post-industrial electronic artist's latest release is Inner (Tri-Labs). Inner's pieces, several of which run over ten minutes long, use grating, pulsing sound to explore the underbellies of consciousness. Even the titles harrow: "alone again (and again [and again])," "DAMNATION NOW," "deserve how i feel." It's a dark album, but it feels more like a … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Incentive – i don’t trust you →

Daily Yinz – King Blue Heron – Dogs

The group's new EP is The Breaking Wheel. Some bands have a certain something going on. Their music hits you right away, and deeply, melding melancholy and rapture in service of some ineffable quality, one that renders words inadequate. King Blue Heron are one of these bands. The up-and-comers released an excellent two song EP--Salvation … Continue reading Daily Yinz – King Blue Heron – Dogs →

Daily Yinz – Love Ethic – On Goodness

The punk trio's latest album, The Customer is Always Blight, takes aim at everybody who consumes things. So, basically everybody. It's hard to live ethically. You could argue that it's nearly impossible. A Google search produces 0.2 grams of CO2. I produced 0.2 grams of CO2 looking up that statistic. I produced another 0.2 grams … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Love Ethic – On Goodness →

Daily Yinz – Underneath – Fractaling Euphoria

The band recently released The Great Yinzer Trendkill (Crestfallen Records), a split with fellow moshers Kicked in the Head by a Horse. Underneath and KITHBAH are two of Pittsburgh's most compelling heavy bands, so when they dropped a split album in early June, earings ringing throughout the city surely perked up. Sure enough, The Great … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Underneath – Fractaling Euphoria →

Daily Yinz – Dittocrush – Debt Metal

The experimental artist's latest release is Lemon Skyullz. Dittocrush uses tape loops and electronic beats to create audio collages that sound like they're being transmitted from a realm whose language cannot quite be deciphered. It's close to human, but far enough away to both intrigue and unnerve. On Lemon Skyullz, you'll hear choked vocal fragments, … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Dittocrush – Debt Metal →
