KUWAISIANA – Mishriff / مشرف (Digital, 2024)
GAJOOB Review by Bryan Baker: KUWAISIANA’s 2024 release, Mishriff / مشرف, is an intimate, politically tuned, and sonically cross-pollinated work that drives straight through the heart of diaspora identity, grief, and memory—with just enough time for Brian to drive across town, as the band wryly notes. Clocking in around a half-hour, Mishriff feels like a…

2st – AM (Digital, 2025)
There are albums, and then there are transmissions. AM by 2st is the latter—a conceptual data stream pulsed directly from a tortured AI’s scorched neural pathways. This is not just inspired by Harlan Ellison’s I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream—it’s the sonic equivalent of the story’s final, agonizing sentence looped across nine relentlessly…
