Denali
The Instinct
The Instinct is a pretty intense album - different from the fragility of the last album - more developed, older, more up than down, more complex, and not as easy as their first album.

Hella & Dilute
"Live"
Sickroom Records plays matchmaker on this live split, and with success. The package consists of two separate records -- one for each of the California indie bands. Dilute's sparse instrumentals are contrasted with Hella's over-the-top math rock.

Division of Laura Lee
Black City
The latest Swedish export is more slammin rock. The DOLL have put together a much more complex and textured record than the Swedish big print names of 2002
