Five B-Sides That Skirt The Issue That B-Sides Are $#iT

B-Sides suck. But they also don't. Life is strange like that. Errett Goff discusses this in detail and also does da cha-cha. Errett Goff like-a do-a da cha-cha.
Distracted: A moment with Yellow Ostrich's Alex Schaaf

Distracted: A moment with Yellow Ostrich’s Alex Schaaf

Synconation had the opportunity to speak with Alex Schaaf of Yellow Ostrich, a great indie rock band originally from Wisconsin transplanted to NYC. He’s quickly gaining visibility, as we went through two different managers to eventually reach him and he sounds too busy to respond altogether. Forgivable though, as he’s about...
He's Nobody's Dave Matthews - A Review of Mason Jennings' Performance at Jack Rabbit's

He’s Nobody’s Dave Matthews – A Review of Mason Jennings’ Performance at Jack Rabbit’s

Mason Jennings is EASILY the most underrated songwriter in the last decade. It may be easy to understand why so many people have passed him over. Early on, he was adopted by the same community of bros and neo-hippies that define the base of the Jack Johnsons, the Dave Matthews, and the...

Vinyl – Loving, vengeful bitch goddess

Vinyl – Loving, vengeful bitch goddess

Introduction Vinyl is back; or so all the newspapers have restated this fact ad nauseum over the last four years. As mysterious as agave soda and one’s first love, the medium itself seems shrouded in darkness that has given it the appeal to many young music lovers for a slew of very valid reasons. I wanted to...

Mass Appeal Madness: An Interview with NrIII

"Lyrically and musically, I feel that this is the first album to truly realize my goal for NRIII. It is looking at the depression, anger, and evil that is inherent in our communities, in our shackled capitalistic lives. I feel that modern life is a very soulless and mechanical existence. We are slaves to jobs,...

My Top 5 Most Anticipated Albums of 2012

My Top 5 Most Anticipated Albums of 2012

It is essential to caveat such a list with the disclaimer that there is not a whole lot of information available for next year’s releases beyond April 2012. You can find lists of anticipated future releases, but there isn’t always much certainty about when, or if, they will drop . . . drop, like they are hot...
Synconation's Best of 2011

Synconation’s Best of 2011

Concepts like the biggest and best musical moments of the year largely deal in context. Sure, there are those artists that pervade pop culture so deeply that one cannot exist without at least a glimmer of a newsworthy event involving them (Amy Winehouse succumbs to rock-n-roll death age, 27) or an album release (is there anybody reading...

How to make a chillwave album cover

I’m going to quickly outline how to produce album art for your very own opus! Step 1: Image size We need to create our...
