Active since the late aughts, indie collective Ava Luna precipitated NYC's soul revival of the 2010s. From that hub of DIY creativity that is Bushwick's Silent Barn, the band's fourth LP, Infinite House, continues their homage to variety and experimentation. Atonal guitars undulate behind doo-wop harmonies to form an audio puzzle so mesmerizingly inconceivable that it borders on the sublime. With five uncompromisingly forward-thinking albums and a Deli cover of under their belts, Ava Luna has become an absolute pillar of the Brooklyn underground. The band’s drummer Julien Fader recently sat down to answer a few questions.... Click on the title for more
Our friends at NYC's own Eventide just sent us a review unit of their multi-effects studio-worthy processor, hidden in a stompbox form: the H9 Harmonizer Effects Processor (one of them is also up for grabs until Wednesday here by the way). We will be giving this monster a full review, but in the meantime, here's what you need to know.... Click on the title for more

Producers are pretty much the chefs of the creative process, so it's hard to conceive how a band like NYC's WIN WIN - comprised of three electronic producers - can actually function without major recurrent conflicts of ego. The secret is probably - as with any successful musical project involving more than one person - in the trust and bond built during a collaboration that's now more than a decade long. WIN WIN's music is as edgy as you would expect, which gives us the opportunity for a very interesting Q&A about gear and the creative process.... Click on the title for more

What they may not know, though, is that the manufacturer also offers a DIY kit to build your own tube amp, called the MOD 102 - recently updated to the MOD 102+. The new kit features an improved design based on its predecessor's British-style Class A output section, with some great added features.... Click on the title for more
