Oh shit, man, you doing anything later? Nah, it's nothing super important, only the new EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY ALBUM. I know! Yeah, dude, I just picked it up. You should swing by later and we can listen to it on my new $30 USB turntable. Nah, man, you don't get it. This album's, like, DIFFERENT. It's got, like, at least four new synth sounds. There's one that goes BWAAAAAH on "Wilderness", the title track, and it's sick nasty. Dude, that song would be perfect for the short film I'm working on.

Wolkoff’s beautiful new video for her single "The Homecoming" details the discovery that the world you live in may not be the one for you, and the process of finding out where you belong. Set to a delightfully tense synth line, "The Homecoming" is a John Waters-esque affair using non-actors in surreal and tasteful NSFW situations. It’s all so wonderfully staged, and the fact that Wolkoff achieves genuine emotional payoff, which culminates in a naked woman wearing a dog mask and dressed as a mermaid, is just one of many reasons this clip should be celebrated.

Some will call Shotgun Jimmie a one-trick pony, but is that really true if the one trick is just really freaking good? Shotgun Jimmie doesn't really break any new ground here on the Joel Plaskett-produced Field of Trampolines. If you come in expecting honest, sing-along-able, relatable indie rock, well, you won't be disappointed.
