The new Hayley Williams is fresh, crisp, completely new, yet reminiscent of the many exploratory veins of 90’s alt music with its honesty and sentiment. And there’s plenty of it!

The new Barr Brothers album is a high point of theirs. Another Tangerine is layered to peaceful perfection. Certain albums and songs take you back to the essence of those early Sunday mornings or starlit drives.

How does the projection of duality play into the Hero’s Journey or generally through myth in film? Is it the entire film itself? All the world’s a stage and we are but players.

My one sentence Taylor Swift review: In this record, Taylor Swift seamlessly blends the strong lyricism of her more rustic records with the expertly polished pop sensibilities in a matured evolution of her sound. Clearly largely inspired by creative muse and future brother-in-law Jason Kelce.
