I'm calling this one a quick review because I didn't take any pics (those above and below are courtesy of Marnie's blog), nor could I aptly distill the insanity of a Marnie Stern set down into something most people would want to read. For the uninitiated, Marnie is an indie...
Leonard DStroy's newest, the Inner Exit EP released on Friday, is a collection of some of the most sparkling beats we've heard all year. Lenny is predominantly known as the producer behind local indie hip hop stalwarts, Deep Thinkers and Kutty Slitz (who we hear is coming...
