Mike Casey | Law Of Attraction

Mike Casey’s sax shines like a fiery torch in the darkness. While the law of attraction lacks scientific evidence for its claims and is generally viewed as a pseudoscience, if there is such a thing as the law of attraction, then one of its traits must be the attraction to good music. At least, that would explain how we were drawn in by Mike Casey’s "Law Of Attraction". Casey's sax shines like a fiery torch in the darkness on every track.

L.A.B V

Some lab experiments fail, this one succeeded. L.A.B return with their new album, L.A.B V, their fifth in five years.

Ya Tseen | "Indian Yard"

Shifting the narrative. In Sitka, Alaska, musician, and artist Nicholas Galanin creates music as Ya Tseen. Imbued in his new record, and across all of his creative output, is a conscious effort to shift the narrative away from painful histories of Indigenous peoples. "Indian Yard" humanizes Indigenous experience in the world in a society that has historically dehumanized us.

Us and Them

When they came, there was nobody to speak out for me.... Julian Assange: exiled, imprisoned, convicted? After many years they came for him. What makes you think they won't be coming for you. If not for your personal freedom, then at least for your civil liberties. There is historical precedent.
