Florian Hofer: Reaching Review

"Hofer reveals his songwriting skills early on the record with "Why," a track that contemplates the struggles of life over a wah-wah pedal-laden background. Written in reaction to a hazardous plane ride over the Atlantic Ocean, Hofer becomes the exemplar songwriter on this track as he considers the impact of such an experience on not just his own life, but on the thoughts and actions of those around him."

Review of Florian Hofer's debut album Reaching, released February 28, 2014.

Bad Suns Return with Debut EP

"On January 21, Bad Suns' efforts came to fruition with Transpose, their first major mark in the music world. Featuring three new tracks alongside their popular single, Transpose indicates that the success of "Cardiac Arrest" was no fluke. Groomed in the alt-pop vein that made bands like the Vaccines and the 1975 popular among the listening world's indie conclaves, "Salt" and "20 Years" epitomize the alluring guitar sweeps common in their genre while "Transpose" exposes the growing strength of singer Christo Bowman's voice."
