  • Junk Mail: Mumford & Sons 'Wilder Mind' Album Review

    On its own merits, Wilder Mind is a very commendable The National record. I think some people may complain about the relationship-heavy lyrics, but I'm personally always down for a breakup album. Against the merits of Mumford & Sons' first two albums, I'd probably just totally leave Wilder Mind behind. I miss the banjo and the piano and the passion so much.

  • Junk Mail: Zac Brown Band 'Jekyll + Hyde' Album Review

    If Foo Fighters' Sonic Highways was an exploration of American rock cities, then Dave Grohl's buddy Zac Brown and his Zac Brown Band decided to explore American musical genres here on Jekyll + Hyde. The album title is very fitting -- there are at least 12 totally different musical stylings on this 16-song collection. Will ZBB be country on a song? folk? Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga? electronic DJs? Jimmy Buffett? There are so many clashing personalities here -- let's try and make sense of it all!

  • Madeon Shines as Adventure Tour Touches Down at Webster Hall [REVIEW]

    A historic venue like Webster Hall rarely double books for artists in a single night. You get one shot to impress the crowd and that is it. 20-year-old French DJ, producer Madeon, real name Hugo Pierre Leclercq, is not most artists and on Friday, April 24, the Frenchman was allotted not one, but two sets in front of a packed, adoring New York City crowd. He has been hailed as a wunderkind and the next big thing in dance music since he was 16 years old, winning a Beatport remix for Pendulum's track "The Island." This led to a host of British label execs, including Pete Tons to fly to his parent's home in Nantes, France to woo the youngster. He signed a publishing deal at 16, had a major label deal at 17 and has produced songs for Ellie Goulding, Lady Gaga and Coldplay.
