Photo provided by artist Feeble little horse are a quartet that filters compact pop music through layers of fuzz and electronic sound effects.

Daily Yinz – Dikon – Almost Blues

Matt Dickun is a Pittsburgh composer--currently residing in Thailand--who leads the jazz outfit Dikon. Thommy Knoles: COPY CAT, one of Dikon's recently released EPs, was designed to sound like "Thelonius Monk, only with Bootsy Collins was playing bass and Madlib was the musical director." "Almost Blues" is a strong encapsulation of this ambitious synthesis; it's … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Dikon – Almost Blues →

Daily Yinz – Moemaw Naedon & C.Scott – Owls in the Sun (feat. JM the Poet)

Rapper Moemaw Naedon and producer C.Scott's September project, River Rats, emerged from days and nights spent outdoors on the banks of the Allegheny. As is often the case with these artists' work, River Rats is dusty, sample-heavy, and gritty, a real throwback hip-hop record. The meditative, jazzy "Owls in the Sun," which brings Driving While … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Moemaw Naedon & C.Scott – Owls in the Sun (feat. JM the Poet) →

Daily Yinz – RITUAL MASS – DESCENT/SEPULCHER

Death metal quartet RITUAL MASS recently released "DESCENT/SEPULCHER" (Steel & Bone Productions) a crushing two-part single. RITUAL MASS prefers to put their band name, album and song titles, and even lyrics in all capital letters, an appropriate move for a band whose music is forceful, heavy, and LOUD.

Daily Yinz – Juss Jala – Vapor Rub

Rapper Juss Jala continues her run of ferocious verbal beatdowns with "Vapor Rub," a single released in August. The track positions Juss Jala's flows-- cold and serrated as a steel bread knife, as always--against looped piano, knocking bass, and subdued percussion. The atmosphere is menacing; Jala fills her bars with boasts that double as put-downs … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Juss Jala – Vapor Rub →

Daily Yinz – Lindsay Liebro – Wasted Potential

Lindsay Liebro is a Pittsburgh high school senior whose rousingly defiant single, "Wasted Potential," recently went viral after being confused for a Taylor Swift leak. "Wasted Potential" would stand on its own even without the boosting by confused Swifties; it's an irresistibly catchy power-pop anthem that positions journal-scrawled (or, rather, notes app-typed) yearning overtop a … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Lindsay Liebro – Wasted Potential →

Fortune Teller, a psych-rock duo consisting of guitarist Giovanni Orsini and drummer J.J. Young, are due to release a new album, Collapse (Steel City Death Club), in October.
