Review: Jimi Goodwin-Odludek

April 9th, 2014 by WLOY Staff

Jimi Goodwin

Odludek

[itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/oh!-whiskey/id816078610?uo=4″ title=”Jimi Goodwin”]

Grade: C+

Originally apart of the English rock band, “Doves” Jimi Goodwin’s solo album Odludek falls very short. Odludek is unable to seamlessly blend it’s many different sounds together, with one song being very rock, another being very folk-almost sounding like english rock counterparts, “Mumford & Sons.” This album also, seems to be lacking in quality musically-the vocals lack emotion, while musically everything seems to be all over the place sometimes leaving listeners wondering where one song ends and the next begins.

Review: Panama-Always EP

April 8th, 2014 by WLOY Staff

Panama

Always EP

[itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/always/id824595137?uo=4″ title=”Panama “]

Grade: A

Sydney band, Panama came out with it’s sophomore EP, “Always.” This electronically driven album definitely gives of a very house with some hints of dubstep all wrapped into one 7 song album. Always is definitely an album you pop into your car and drive down a long road on any day, as portrayed in it’s album cover. Read the rest of this entry »

The wonderfully talented Travis McKeveny came into the studio with Kat and Rae before his late night coffee house with WLOY on March 13th. He answered some interesting questions about his musical experiences and writing process. In addition to sharing some fun stories about his sister and currently WLOY Staffer Kathleen McKeveny, who had the chance to be in the studio for that experience.
