Review: The Atlas Moth – An Ache for the Distance (2011)
Today we welcome Steven Coffman, a Southern Atlantic nomad now holed up on the cusp of the Colorado mountains to Mezzic! Out there, he spends the days and nights “pairing various beers with technical metal, indie rock, and post-metal, just so long as it’s emotionally heavy or actually heavy.”
REVIEW: MÉLANIE LAURENT – EN T’ATTENDANT (2011)
Wind first came in bearing word of Mélanie Laurent‘s singing this spring during SXSW. Quite honestly the possibility of musical talent was far from mind given the Parisienne’s highly successful film career, which took off with Je vais bien, ne t’en fait pas and soared around th
Review: Fool’s Gold – Leave No Trace (2011)
