New Review Update: The Stargazer Lilies; Brief Lives

How's everyone holding up? Fest Nile Virus got you down?

Today's first new review is Brian Shultz's piece on The Stargazer Lilies' new one
We Are the Dreamers:

The Stargazer Lilies' debut full-length We Are the Dreamers is nicely executed, Twin Peaks-era dream pop. The two-piece deploy especially hazy and almost occasionally rumbling atmospheres that murkily float along for three minutes apiece with breathy female vocals, then exit the scene like a lost memory.

Then, Joe Pelone takes a listen to the recent 7-inch from Brief Lives,
Whistleblower:

Post-hardcore outfit Brief Lives seem to harbor a deep love of '90s outfits like Quicksand and Jawbox, if their latest 7-inch Whistleblower is any indication. Only two songs are up for discussion here, but the worship is clear: Brief Lives favor snarling yet twisting guitar lines, forceful yet clear vocals, and a songwriting approach that's heavy yet melodic.
