May 20, 2013In spite of being lumped in with bedroom-bound ’80s obsessives like Toro Y Moi and Washed Out, Dominican-born George Lewis Jr., a.k.a. Twin Shadow, distinguishes himself on his 2010 debut, Forget, with pungent synthesizer and crooning vocals that ride atop his songs instead of settling, shoegaze-like, below the instrumentation.more at avclub.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
April 30, 2013Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has gone through a few fairly drastic changes over the past 15 years: A move from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a label change from Virgin to RCA to its own imprint, and a transition from the dreary garage-rock of its first two records to the Americana-inspired Howl to the (poorly received) all-instrumental ambient/noise effort The Effects Of 333. more at avclub.com
