The sludgy industrial project from Dave 8cylinder and Nick Breinich unveiled its debut, A Futile Stream of Commands (Darkfloor Sound), in October. Over the course of six tracks (and five remixes, including takes from Luke Lund and Napalm Death's Mick Harris), modular synths crawl all over each other like giant centipedes, while a drum machine … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Gnarled Horse Throat – Melting Mammoth

Daily Yinz – Sad Girls Aquatics Club – Plastic & Pearl
The self-described breakup pop duo follows 2018's Vodkawine with a new single called "Plastic & Pearl." The woozy, dazed quality that underpinned Sad Girls Aquatics Club's debut lingers after five years; surprisingly, a global pandemic, the enervating creep of consumer capitalism, and the continued collapse of our environment are not great for a person's mental … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Sad Girls Aquatics Club – Plastic & Pearl

Hiatus Rewind (Part 1)
As you may have noticed, Bored In Pittsburgh went on a bit of a hiatus for the past few months due to factors. Those factors were: 1. Burnout. It's fun! 2. A desire to try my hand at fiction writing. It's actually fun! Both factors remain in play, but I missed writing about Pittsburgh's music … Continue reading Hiatus Rewind (Part 1)

Weekly Wrap-Up 07.29.22
A few words about a few local tracks that hit the spot this week ### The Roundlakes - Donkey's Tail The first product of a musical collaboration stretching across the Atlantic from Pittsburgh to England, this one bounces leisurely along like an errant super ball, with fried, slurred vocals and ambivalent chord changes combining to … Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up 07.29.22
Daily Yinz – I4A – Fence of Pearls
Experimental trio I4A specializes in winding vamps that traverse peaks and valleys. "Fence of Pearls," the longest track from the group's new release, I4A 2--which is saying something when the shortest one clocks in at 7:26--is a radiant musical monolith. It takes its time to build up from a base of gentle strums, cycling through … Continue reading Daily Yinz – I4A – Fence of Pearls

Daily Yinz – Ozilate – Hazy (feat. Indigo Rae)
New collaboration between producer Ozilate and singer/songwriter Indigo Rae traverses a post-breakup wasteland. Last time we checked in on Indigo Rae, they were singing melancholic ballads over spare ukulele. On "Hazy," the melancholy lingers ("When I breathe in/My bed still smells like you/Baby, now I'm faded/Self medicated"), but its soundtrack takes a different tack. Producer … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Ozilate – Hazy (feat. Indigo Rae)
