Joel Frieders

Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

Busman's Holiday - Evening Flows

Joel Frieders | October 28, 2016
This band kills me.  Busman's Holiday are the whimisical, theatrical, and magical version of my internal monologue. And while they make me weepy, their music creates this "emotion sauna" where I just fucking bawl and get out all the energy...

L.A. Girlfriend - Subliminal Fantastic

Joel Frieders | October 27, 2016
DOES ANYONE NOTICES THE STARK SIMILARITIES BETWEEN L.A. GIRLFRIEND'S DANCE MOVES ON "SUBLIMINAL FANTASTIC" AND MY OWN INTERPRETIVE DANCE CYCLE PERFORMANCE? I mean, I don't want to call bullshit, but come on. Same gloves. Same eye...

One Song: The Midnight Echo - Guide You Home

Joel Frieders | October 26, 2016
So The Midnight Echo used the word "anthemic" in their music submission and I was all crossed arms like "bro, you can't call yourself anthemic, that's anti-anthemic bro".  AND THEN I LISTENED AND THEN WHEN THE SONG ENDED I WAS ON TOP OF MY...

Hanging Valleys - Endless Wave

Joel Frieders | October 25, 2016
This dude JUST left my stereo after last week's obsession and then he sends out an email with THIS? Fucking Hanging Valleys taking my animated mental picture and bringing it to life with this video for "Endless Wave". HOW DARE THEY....

Busman's Holiday - Popular Cycles

Joel Frieders | October 11, 2016
I heard "What We Need We Know" a month or so ago. It was a complete lark. I wasn't paying attention to what was happening between my ears and my feels and when I turned towards the speaker where the music was pouring out, I had one of those "holy...

Georgie - Company of Thieves

Joel Frieders | October 10, 2016
No clue who Georgie is, but about 55 seconds I started shimmying my shoulders and ignoring the people staring at me and felt the need to share this shit. "Company of Thieves" sounds a bit slow finger snaps at the corner diner-ish,...

One Song: Hanging Valleys - Coast Days

Joel Frieders | October 7, 2016
How does this dude make EVERY song he writes sound like I'm waking up on a fucking beach? Seriously, Hanging Valleys always makes me feel like I'm just waking up, I rub my eyes, and I'm startled that the eye boogs I go to wipe out of my eyes...

One Song: Ballerina Black - Telepathy

Joel Frieders | October 4, 2016
Ballerina Black are my favorite trenchcoat wearing 80's synth warriors. These guys take overcast skies and black denim, smoosh them together, and make shit sexy as fuck.  Over the last two tree four years I've relied upon their disinterested...

One Song: Kauf - Key to Life

Joel Frieders | October 4, 2016
Kauf reminds me of a leather chair. NO, WE AIN'T TALKIN' FETISH PLAY BRUH! I was first introduced to Kauf a number of years ago, and back then I had this awesome chair where I would intoxicate myself and listen to music. I...

Warpaint - Heads Up

Joel Frieders | September 27, 2016
The last Warpaint album (Self Titled) had me listening to the first two tracks on repeat. Like, I spent the better part of two days listening to the intro and "Keep It Healthy" over and over and over. Having been in a dozen...
