 This album is those songs. Acoustic interweavings, in an album that is entirely acoustic, recorded with two microphones with no frills.

 If you listen to it without knowing anything about it, you wouldn’t be able to say what’s behind it, what year it’s from, or where it comes from.

Pullman's "Turnstyles & Junkpiles" is a mostly acoustic album born from spontaneous sessions among post-rock musicians in late 70s Chicago spirit. It features intricate, pastoral polyphonies blending post-rock sentiment with American folk influences. The album offers a cozy, intimate atmosphere yet remains far from essential listening, ideal for company or travel. Memorable tracks like "Lyasnya" show playful moods, balanced by songs reminiscent of 70s songwriting traditions. Listen to Pullman’s delicate acoustic journey blending post-rock and American folk traditions now.

 A continuous expectation of something that doesn’t arrive.

 An album that retraces the exploratory intention of that ‘90s post rock scene... but makes a turn in a not exactly interesting direction.

Seely's 'Julie Only' is a post-rock album marked by an extensive use of guitar effects and dynamic drumming. Despite interesting ideas and references to the '90s post-rock scene, the tracks often feel underdeveloped and leave the listener expecting more. The album's re-recording history adds to its complexity, resulting in an uneven but intriguing listen. Dive into Seely's 'Julie Only' and experience a post-rock album full of nuances and textures—listen now to form your own verdict!

 An album devoid of ideas, and not very interesting.

 You even lose track of time, as there are no tracks, but a single massive collage of 50-plus minutes.

The review critiques Flying Saucer Attack's 'In Search of Spaces' as a confusing and largely unattractive album. It is described as a long, continuous collage of noise and feedback with little musical direction. Unlike the band's other works, this album feels purposeless and disappointing. Despite some curiosity about the band's discography, this record is seen as a low point. Explore Flying Saucer Attack's discography and decide if 'In Search of Spaces' intrigues or challenges you.

 My first memories, instead, are of that open hi-hat on the upbeat, and the guitar riff of Stayin' Alive.

 Well, I think that song was my first musical memory, or maybe my first memory ever.

The reviewer fondly recalls 'Stayin' Alive' by the Bee Gees as their first significant musical memory. Despite a music-sparse childhood, this disco classic left a lasting impression. The story captures nostalgia for early music exposure and how it shaped their later passion. The review combines personal anecdotes with affectionate reflections on music's role in growth. Discover the timeless groove of Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive and explore nostalgic musical memories that inspire generations.

 It’s a record very much a child of the ’70s. But with sprinkles of country, a falsetto that pairs well with Bon Iver, and a warm and enveloping horn section that feels like the first sweater after summer.

 10 tracks for about half an hour of music. Short songs without choruses repeated until death. They say what they have to say and then move on to the next track. Like music should do.

Whitney's Forever Turned Around is a warm, 70s-inspired indie folk album rooted in Chicago's rich musical heritage. The record features short, honest songs with catchy falsettos and a comforting horn section. While not as iconic as some Chicago legends, the album stands out for its balanced dynamics and accessible style, offering listeners a sunny and sensitive musical experience. Listen to Whitney's Forever Turned Around and experience a warm, heartfelt indie folk journey from Chicago.

 This album is not Francesca.

 I don’t have much news given the period. On the contrary, I have such a desire to play with others I’d break down walls. I want to communicate, and if I have to sum it up in two words, this album communicated very little to me.
