Blast of Alter-nativity

April 29th, 2013 Comments Off

Ok, so I have a little confession to make. I LOVE ROCK MUSIC. Well, punk/pop rock. Can’t quite stomach the harder stuff. But yeah anyways, I get told a lot that NSK is full of EDM kinda stuff, but fairly sparse of any rock/folk/alternative stuff. So, I decided to give into my heart and post a bit [...]

Phoria: Red

March 25th, 2013 Comments Off

Phoria is a project I have been watching for a few months now, and it is amazing to see how their production has increased in leaps and bounds, not just in terms of production, but in sophistication and professionalism. This track, ‘Red’, is just beautiful. The haunting vocals are reminiscent of Sigur Rós, and the [...]

Fun.: Sight Of The Sun

If my recommendation wasn’t enough, from the music standpoint the soundtrack also features songs from Santigold, Icona Pop, Fleet Foxes and [...]

Such Gold: Misadventures

August 15th, 2012 Comments Off

I’m gonna switch it up a little here to another one of my favorite genres, punk/alternative (depending on how you interpret these guys). Officially dropped yesterday, “Misadventures” is the second full length album to be released by the Rochester, NY natives. I’ve been a huge fan of Such Gold since they released their first EP [...]

Hammock: I Can Almost See You

June 28th, 2012 Comments Off

Though a little different than what I usually listen to, I really wanted to share this song with you guys after hearing it. Created by the group, Hammock, “I Can Almost See You” consists of a simple piano melody, droning guitars, and barely discernible voices. It may sound boring, but this track is not about [...]
