Choppy Waters: Akitoshi Ito’s “Waves”
ByPatrick St. Michel May 22, 2019

Maybe one day I’ll indulge myself and make a hierarchy of things in music that just get me going, but pretty high up on that list would be “singing run through electronic/digital filters and/or other technology to make it sound less human (or, at least, more interesting). New Sheena Ringo…great the moment she starts singing…

ByPatrick St. Michel February 27, 2018

Maybe winter has just felt particularly tough on the thermostat this year, but “Topia” sounds extra warm and inviting right about now. It’s right in indie-pop band I Saw You Yesterday’s wheelhouse, seeing as the bulk of their releases up to this point have been designed for warmer climes, or at least geared towards those…
