90FM Album Review: Andrew Bird- “Hands of Glory”

Hands of Glory seems to be a rather abrupt release that came from left field; it’s almost as much as an EP as it is an LP by Andrew Bird’s standards. At 35 min­utes long (a quarter of that time being a lengthy instrumental), one could assume that is an unfinished product. It was also released within the same year ... Read More »

90FM Album Review: Dirty Projectors – Swing Lo Magellan

Dirty Projectors have attracted a number of comparisons to other artists throughout their relatively long 10 year span as a band, ranging from the pop singer Beyoncé to progressive rock musicians of old (to which frontman David Longstreth says “Frank Zappa I ****ing hate.”) Whether Longstreth likes it or not, one can clearly hear many influences in their latest July ...
