Athlete - “Beyond the Neighbourhood” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Since they first appeared with their stunning debut, Vehicles and Animals, Athlete have shown an interest in making big songs with big swells, but experimental jams and gentle acoustic ditties took up half the space. On Neighbourhood, the third release for the now well-known Brits, they fully embrace the anthemic style they’ve been heading for, [...]
Devendra Banhart – “Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Did you love Oh Me Oh My? Me too! What about Rejoicing In The Hands? Timeless? I agree. Niño Rojo? That too? Great, we’re on the same page. And, Cripple Crow? Yes! I’m glad you said it, because I was thinking it! What a piece of shit that record was. Hated it. Hated it! Well, [...]
Foo Fighters - “Echoes Silence Patience and Grace” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Dave Grohl and crew are back for 2007 with a new album, Echos, Silence, Patience and Grace. Turning out to be one of the most prolific bands on the alternarock circuit, the Foo Fighters continue to churn out quality, radio friendly rock and roll.

PJ Harvey - “White Chalk” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Brilliant, enigmatic recluse PJ Harvey’s latest is the sound of a woman who has been left alone at a piano in a room with only a single window to remind her of her mortality. The problem is, the window is limited to the scenic view of a cliff, and she has been mentally preparing [...]
Matt pond PA - “Last Light” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Brace yourself for another bittersweet album about… love. Pond takes us through an acoustic journey about the struggle and loneliness of old loves lost. “Last Light” perfectly describes the treachery of heartbreak with jabbing chords and ephemeral thoughts of self-indulgence. Collaborating with Neko Case (“Taught to Look Away”) saves the album with its hopeless [...]
Sea Wolf - “Leaves in The River” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Like Jack London’s protagonist Wolf Larson in his 1904 book The Sea-Wolf, Alex Brown Church’s songwriting is ambitious and intelligent, but also cynical and restive. This fine debut shows one man’s ability to create Chamber-music—a la folk and pop—that includes, but’s not limited to, timpani, cello, and a plundering accordion. “Middle-distance Runner” is a [...]
Via Audio - “Say Something” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
The most striking element of this long awaited first full-length from NYC’s Via Audio is the diversity in its sound. Any given song on the record can turn from a quiet ballad to a noisy rocker, vocals duties are swapped between band members, catchy hooks appear out of nowhere and vanish just as quickly [...]
