Review: Trials Evolution
On the right track

Zambri | House of Baasa
Kanine Records
For those of us of a certain age who remember when school dances had a strict four-fast-songs-then-one-slow-one policy, the memory of bouncing around to "Let's Hear It for the Boy" with the anticipation of "One More Night" or "Take My Breath Away" still makes our palms sweat with hormonal anxiety.

Craft Spells | Gallery
Captured Tracks (2012)
Craft Spells certainly live up to their name on this six-song EP, with the charm of its effortless, pixie-light production and the warm, plangent harp sounds of their major-key melodies.

Motion Sickness Of Time Travel | Motion Sickness Of Time Travel
Spectrum Spools (2012)
It's long been said that Southerners perceive time differently, that because the industrial clock never crept below the Mason-Dixon Line, time down there is less regimented, more relaxed.

Was Clarence Spivey wrongfully convicted of rape 40 years ago?
‘The truth has to come out’
