Minnesota stoner trio Let It Breathe takes over Nerd Talk this week, sharing their thoughts on the horror movies, video games, and artwork that has made a mark on them.

Listening Lately: Exercises in Collaboration with Slomatics, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, and Glory or Death Records
Hearing Live and Dangerous literally changed my musical life, so when I saw that Glory or Death Records was putting out a compilation of Thin Lizzy covers…. OMG. Featuring a couple of my Psycho Las Vegas favorites, Mothership and Goya, the first LP of Bow to Your Masters Volume 1 has just been released via… Continue reading Listening Lately: Exercises in Collaboration with Slomatics, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, and Glory or Death Records
Listening Lately: There and Back Again with Green Druid, Visigoth, and Shadow Witch
One thing these columns have made me realize is that I do most of my serious music listening in the car — so a recent three-hour round trip was the perfect opportunity to soak in some new tunes. My band was playing a show in Norwich, which is our furthest destination to date; drummer Chris… Continue reading Listening Lately: There and Back Again with Green Druid, Visigoth, and Shadow Witch

Goya, Mothership, Myrkur, and The Murder City Devils
Listening Lately: Graves at Sea, The Shape, Pinto Graham, and Demon Eye
Back in 2014, I started what was supposed to be a bi-weekly music review series: “Payday Downloads,” the idea being that I would download some new tunes on a Friday and post a quick-and-dirty review by that Sunday. Well, the series lasted a whole three columns. With the hope of crossing albums off my review… Continue reading Listening Lately: Graves at Sea, The Shape, Pinto Graham, and Demon Eye
Review Drive-By: Undercliff and Fallen Asunder
Damn it’s been awhile since I wrote a music review! A couple weeks ago, Middletown doom band Undercliff sent Alternative Control their new album Put Them In to have a listen. These guys have come a long way since their 2013 demos in terms of recording quality and vocal performance. Put Them In demands a… Continue reading Review Drive-By: Undercliff and Fallen Asunder
