Raised On Candy - Pickle Eyes (Magic Door Record Label) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Raised On Candy do not reveal the full scale of “Pickle Eyes” at once. The Montclair duo begin with enough space between guitar, voice and drums for each part to feel exposed, then gradually start filling that space. The guitars gain weight, Scotty Imp’s drums become more expressive, backing voices gather around Joe Penna, and what first seemed relatively contained begins openi
Eddie Skuller - House Where Nobody Lives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Eddie Skuller’s “House Where Nobody Lives” begins with a place that has been emptied out. A cracked window, peeling paint, weeds at the door, birds in the chimney, an old chest of drawers left behind.

Michael Ciravolo builds the atmosphere, Michael Rozon shapes the depth around it, and the guest voice changes the emotional weather of the entire piece. On “Home,” that voice belongs to Ashton Nyte, returning to the project exactly eight years after “Storm” first introduced him into the Beauty In Chaos world. The da
Chris Connelly - Nothin' But A Rock Song (Shipwrecked Industries) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Chris Connelly’s “Nothin’ But A Rock Song” begins with a title that sounds like a shrug and behaves like a dare. As the second preview from Doo Wop In The Dark: A Portrait of Lou Reed, the single enters Lou Reed’s world through surface, attitude, image, and abrasion. That is the right doorway. Reed was never only a songwriter to admire from a polite distance. He was pose, nerve
