Voxtrot: Sinister Debuts : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
The word “voxtrot” brings an interesting connotation to mind. Maybe it’s because, immediately, I want to associate it with some fancy footwork, the foxtrot. Considering some of the band’s musical maneuvers, such an association might not be so far. The band can certainly pull some sly orchestral steps.
Upon the release of their EPs, Voxtrot was [...]
Cheetah Chrome : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
Downstairs at Toronto’s Bovine Sex Club, Cheetah Chrome’s perched on a destroyed sofa. This basement is the kind of place that can destroy any illusions that might be out there about what it means to be “backstage” or “in the dressing room.” Outside, the air is heavy and humid, but the basement hideaway Cheetah’s been [...]
Interpol: Behind the Scenes : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
(Scott Irvine reloads his camera)
We thought it would be a small thrill to take you behind the scenes for the cover photo shoot we did for Sentimentalist Magazine 25, in addition to giving some background on the NYC magazine that has followed the band since their humble beginnings. We hope you enjoy it.
Who knew [...]
Pitchfork Music Festival ‘07 – Dance, Hipster, Dance! : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
Dan Deacon gets all Sentimental!
Your Mp3 Blog Sucks!
So said the back of a lone, angry man’s t-shirt, the torso supporting it all lifeless as a tree trunk. There is no possible way that the Junior Boys, then mid-set, could ever have noticed this man. And they didn’t. They paid no mind, and instead shotgunned [...]
Blonde Redhead : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
Fourteen years, seven albums later, the always ambitious trio returns with their most indulgent release yet, 23. Somehow, the band has criminally managed to fall under the radar throughout their career, but now it seems they’ve managed to come out on top. This is easily their most accessible record, finally capturing the long-overdue attention of [...]
Good Shoes : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
Classic Chuck Taylors, limited re-release hi-top Dunks, and throwback Vans slip-ons aside, Good Shoes represent something far less superficial and trendy. As childhood friends, Rhys Jones, Steve Leach, Joel Cox and younger brother Tom Jones initially sought to channel their nervous energy through one of their many creative outlets: music. But from those jam sessions [...]
JAMES MURPHY of LCD SOUNDSYSTEM and DFA RECORDS : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
(Hang onto your seats kids, this interview’s a scorcher! Kudos to Jeremy for getting all this down in black and white–Ed.)
Is it still fun?
It’s OK. Now that it’s here [our interview], I’m over the hump. It’s a bummer. Right? The last one was the end of the fun. Now I’m angry, and I blame you.
We [...]
Patrick Wolf : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive

Patrick Wolf’s latest album, The Magic Position, isn’t a record forged in subtlety. An electro-pop drama club epic, his third LP clatters and shakes with a recklessly entertaining beauty that has already made it a 2007 critic’s favorite.
And while many of his contemporaries have buckled under the weight [...]
Cartel: Dr. Pepper Band In A Bubble
By MVW
Most of us have heard of the untouchable “boy in the plastic bubble,” made famous by a boyish John Travolta in the 70’s film of the same name, but a band in a bubble is a novelty in America. Though the concept of encapsulating a rock band inside a clear fiberglass home/studio is something [...]
The Bravery : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive

In 2005, I might have fancied The Bravery’s frontman, Sam Endicott, as your average eyeliner-using, faux-hawked, guitar-slinging New York City hipster. I’ve come to the conclusion, though, that Mr. Endicott is leading a secret life. After all, I pursued a lengthy and hectic mission to try to gain a few [...]
