Whatever the Weather (Loraine James) embraces elements of dub and impressionistic jazz on her stunning sophomore album #catchingupweek www.treblezine.com/whatever-the...

This album is intense, and amazing

for catching up week at Treble, i wrote about the beauty that is black metal conjured via @lusthag.bsky.social ‘s stupendous second album

Excited to share that it's Catching Up Week on Treble! We periodically do "albums you/we missed" lists, but every day this week, we're posting 2-3 reviews of records we missed from earlier this year. They're good enough for a deeper dive, so that's what we're doing!

#catchingupweek continues! Jim Ghedi's latest album is mind-blowingly good, a mix of English folk with heavier, stormier elements. This one'll be high on my AOTY list

Had a great time talking to @parkermolloy.com about my work on the AI bubble www.readtpa.com/p/the-man-ca...

Got a pair of DEVO-related exclusives that went live today. First, up at @treblezine.bsky.social, I spoke with Gerald Casale about the new NETFLIX documentary (specifically, what it DIDN'T show).

Did @OzzyOsbourne invent Christian metal? Hear @jasonpwoodbury.bsky.social make his case to @andrewgill and me on Rock that Doesn't Roll #RTDR! 🤘✝️

I've admired @drleahpayne.bsky.social & @andrewgill.biz's Rock That Doesn't Roll (@prx.org) podcast since it started, so it was a special pleasure to appear on it this week & argue my case that Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne invented Christian metal. Tune in: pod.link/1703257857/e...

New on my Substack: I write about my appearance on @drleahpayne.bsky.social & @andrewgill.biz’s Rock That Doesn’t Roll podcast, my new talk with Marissa Nadler, & @wastoids.com’s new partnership with @spectrevision.bsky.social Radio. Read: open.substack.com/pub/jasonpwo...

Sophia Djebel Rose's 'Sécheresse' is saturated with images and suggestions of danger and violence, streaked with looming shadows and a sense that it could be consumed by the darkness at any moment #catchingupweek www.treblezine.com/sophia-djebe...

"I always hoped, of course, that the total package—the message, the sounds, the presentation, visually—would be enough to actually put us over the hump and make us mainstream.” We spoke to Gerald Casale of Devo about their history, new documentary & more www.treblezine.com/devo-gerald-...

Hear a new song from @chatpileband.bsky.social and Hayden Pedigo, "Demon Time" www.treblezine.com/hear-a-new-s...

This album totally bowled me over. An out-of-nowhere contender for my Top 25 of 2025 list.

Lust Hag's 'Irrevocably Drubbed' is black metal without pretense, recognizing that a sick riff is a sick riff #catchingupweek www.treblezine.com/lust-hag-irr...

Motorbike's 'Kick It Over' sounds, frankly, exactly like what you’d expect a band called Motorbike to sound like—denim, leather, motor oil and mayhem Which is why it rips #catchingupweek www.treblezine.com/m...
