By: Kevin (@Prufesuroak)

Short Movie is the new album released by British anti-folk artist Laura Marling. The album came out on March 20, 2015.

Laura Marling’s new album Short Movie came out of a 6 month break from music that Marling took after an attempt to put out a record she was dissatisfied with. Marling has been pretty consistent since the start of her career, after leaving Noah and the Whale, Marling has released 5 studio albums since her departure from the band in 2008.

No Cities to Love is Sleater-Kinney’s eighth studio album and the first in ten years. The album was released under Sub Pop records on January 20, 2015.

The album was under a lot of pressure, being the first release the band has had after their decade long indefinite-hiatus. The reunion and new release was a huge surprise and the album proved to be something of a hit for fans of the band. The album has some of Sleater-Kinney’s best songs. The album keeps some of the defining factors of the sound of Sleater-Kinney yet it adds something new that in the end makes the perfect mix of an album.

The Sounds of 2014 is a year end round up of the albums that stuck with us this.

Drive-By Truckers have always been pretty consistent, they haven’t released anything bad since… ever (1996); English Oceans which came out March 4, 2014 is no exception to that. The album really hits hard and stays that way throughout. This being their tenth studio album.

The Games We Played is a year end round up of thoughts about games we spent time with.

By Omar (@siegarettes)

When Harmonix makes something, I pay attention. Their contributions to the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises creates a veneer of commercialization, especially after the former franchise over saturated the market, but look closely and you’ll find a constantly refined craft and passion for both music and games. (A bit perfect for our focus here at clickbliss). These are the people who brought both a new Dance Central title and the beat influenced shoot-em-up A City Sleeps to us this year.

In that context, who else would be better to bring us a 2014 update to Disney's Fantasia? Despite my reservations about how successful a Kinect based Disney game could be, I found it worth at least worth paying attention to with Harmonix at the helm. Besides, I needed something to justify my Kinect purchase aside from Child of Eden and yelling at my squadmates in Mass Effect

Of course, what really drew me in was the tracklist. Leading with pop hits like Lady Gaga’s “Applause” and Lorde’s “Royals”, moving to well known classical pieces from the Fantasia movies, it then spin offs to Queen, Depeche Mode, Kimbra, and…Jimi Hendrix?
