February is always a fantastic month for new music. With SXSW right around the corner, it’s a huge driver for new music and this year was another great one.

Regardless of decade, a prominent selection of Portlanders are indisputable masters of aesthetic preservation, making it no surprise when throwback bands like Foxygen find their shows sold out and well-attended. The opening…
1 CommentFoxygen – Make It Known This has to be one of the most interesting sounding tracks I’ve heard in a while. Its a classic rock influenced track that keeps sounding a bit like Neil Diamond’s Girl, You’ll Be a Woman, crossed with a bit of psychedelia, and an unorthodox song structure. It’s a very impressionistic sound that comes from different times, and places, very strange, yet still extremely engaging, and nice to listen to. The band, consisting of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, was just signed to Jagjaguwar and will be releasing a 7 track LP, Take the Kids Off Broadway…
