More Than Just a Phase: Said The Sky Drops Nostalgic Sophomore Album, “Sentimental”
After attending high school in the early 2010s, it’s tough not to feel sentimental about Said The Sky‘s new album and the definitive new direction in his sophomore album. While it was easy to be excited about Sentimental based on its singles alone, two of which arrived immediately prior to the album’s full release, some of the album’s most surprising—and nostalgic—cuts come with the full release. Between appearances by We The Kings, Parachute, The Maine, State Champs and more, the tracklist of Sentimental oftentimes more closely resembles a Warped Tour lineup than anything else. In fact, we’re still wondering how Said The Sky managed to pull a very rare feature from Motion City Soundtrack on the wittingly self-deprecating “Blue Eternal....

New Experience Uses Trippy Lights and Electronic Music to Induce Hallucinations From Behind Closed Eyelids
Jon Hopkins‘ music has found another use case in the world of wellness. The Grammy-nominated electronic music producer, whose recent album Music for Psychedelic Therapy became a framework for guiding people through healing while in an altered state, is once more strategically leading listeners to a state of relaxation.

Until eventually mankind will eat itself. Facts are no longer facts, and science appears to ha...
