I wouldn’t put Cobraconda in the same vein as anything in Denver,” says Spencer Foreman. “We get fucking crazy and buck-wild at shows. We’re party animals, man. Fuck-beast mode. This is Godzilla, older and harder than beast mode.” And when provoked, sometimes the Cobra strikes. Just ask Michael Mazzotta. In…
Unless you’ve been to a Larimer Lounge barbecue or perhaps an odd night when the Denver Art Rock Collective invited this band on a bill, chances are you haven’t heard of Mourning Sickness (due this Thursday, April 26, at the Oriental Theater). That’s unfortunate, because the members of this trio,…
The modern tale of Washed Out’s fame isn’t an uncommon one: Musician makes bedroom tracks and nonchalantly posts them online, blog world picks up on the idea, and the rest is music-festival-circuit history. But when Washed Out (aka Ernest Greene) began creating his down-tempo, lo-fi synth brilliance within the confines…

There’s no shortage of dreamy, washed-out vibes in indie music these days, but Real Estate — which hails from the not-so-sunny suburb of Ridgewood, New Jersey — is doling out reverb rock with the best of them. The quartet’s sophomore album, Days, glides listlessly through its ten tracks, recalling the…
On the wall in my house, right next to the desk where I work, hangs a framed vinyl copy of the 1978 Ted Nugent butt-rocker Weekend Warriors. Not because the record itself is any good (it’s not), but because of the cover art: a realist portrait of a shirtless, bell-bottomed…
Benny Loco’s latest effort is a standout in the crowded field of contemporary electronic music. The six-track EP features the title track — a new tune — alongside remixes of five songs from the Boulder-based producer’s Set EP, released last November. On “Lines,” bright analog tones coast over the top…
Ants are not glamorous animals, and neither are the five brothers and cousins in their namesake Denver band. On record, the guys function like a small, sloppy, rowdy and hungry colony of aggressively nostalgic former Warped Tour moshers. With discordant shouts and dramatically orchestral riffs layered over every track in…
“Robot Haikus of Despair and Self Loathing” shows Lexigram — the act previously known as Yerkish — stretching out a bit, with more attention given to space within the song, especially in the middle, where Tim Kaminski’s voice spirals off into a tasteful sustain, more operatic than indulgent, before the…
