Feb 24, 2020Spinning Coin work hard to expand their sound in interesting ways, and the end result of their efforts is an album that's challenging, bracing, and almost defiantly, certainly thrillingly, unique.

Apr 27, 2020There's the occasional nod to the new millennium ("Ghosting" motors along like an over-caffeinated Arcade Fire), but generally, we're talking 1967 via 1981. In 2020, that's quite remarkable. And much appreciated.

Feb 20, 2020‘Hyacinth’ shows Spinning Coin are OK with dipping their toes in the water of something new, but will leave you wishing they would just jump in.

Mar 4, 2020If evaluated on the music alone, the rating would be higher, but overall Hyacinth doesn't have enough quaint peculiarities or dynamic rhythms to be anything but a minimal draw.
