Happy Monday! Here are some new reviews!

First, Joe Pelone got less than he bargained for at a recent My Bloody Valentine performance:

The set aimed to gradually amp up in intensity, but that didn't stop Shields' acoustic guitar from sounding like a jet engine on opener "Sometimes." "I Only Said" and "When You Sleep" formed a trilogy of Loveless songs, and it sounded amazing. MBV is legendary for being so loud that the listeners experience auditory phenomena. That is to say, they hear notes that aren't really there because of the sensory overload. For context, an airplane taking off generates about 140 decibels. MBV's shows typically come in just under that. This was gloriously true for the beginning of the show.

And then something bad happened.

Cliffhanger! Read the rest of the review here.

Then, Renaldo Matadeen checks out Tancred , the self-titled LP from uh, Tancred:

Fronted by Jess Abbott of Now, Now, Tancred is a real treat. As the lone official member of the group, there's a captivating feel of indie-tinged delight Abbott translates and as catchy and touching as her messages get, it's never too poetic or preachy, but rather, something more digestible.
