I have been listening to music since I can remember: every genre, every artist, every edgy and niche subculture.
I am a great listener: I take pride in discovering unheard gems, trying to connect with their authors.
It never gets old, really… somehow, music keeps hypnotising us, surprising us, always, always offering something new. Must be some sort of magic.
Earlier this year, German-based musician and producer Cris Cap came bouncing into our world with three tunes that we described as a triumph of colours, elegance and lusciousness. Falling instantly in love with his sound, today I am proud to introduce you to ‘Don’t You Cry’, Cris’ brand new single. Teaming up once again with […]
‘Loved By You’ is the debut single from Canadian-based outfit The Kyle Jordan Project, and it’s a celebration of roots music’s rich tapestry, timeless appeal, and soulful essence. Comprised of Kyle Jordan, Greg Van Kerkhof, and Katie Burke, the band effortlessly fuses blues, country, rock, and folk influences into their first offering, concocting a sound […]
Last year, we fell deeply in love with a record called ‘The Wood Wide Web’ courtesy of Brighton-based singer/songwriter Ian Roland. Labelling it a “monumental album”, the folky and mellow pop offering was our first introduction to Roland’s work, and we’ve been waiting patiently ever since to hear more from him. Thankfully, just five days […]
We certainly haven’t forgotten about George Bone; the talented British songster possesses something not everyone has: the ability to match his striking songwriting flair with stunning, elegant vocals. That’s a combo that speaks for itself, allowing Bone to release poignant and cathartic material drenched in nostalgic flair and always relatable. The keen reader might remember […]
‘Nameless City’ was namely inspired by the H.P. Lovecraft novel of the same name – a fantasy, dreamy tale in which a character discovers a cryptic underground, lost civilization – and of course, the track is as mysterious and creepy as its literary counterpart. Penned by Portland-based grunge and hardcore outfit Sunset the Machine, the […]
An empowering, fierce record, ‘sin’ feels particularly personal when compared to Kai King’s character development. A talented producer and holistic creative based in Nashville, King is particularly adamant about wanting to process and eventually overcome the ‘religious trauma’ concerning her intimacy and rigorous upbringing. By releasing ‘sin’ on Lesbian Visibility Day, Kai seeks to inspire […]
Exploring modern jazz with traditional flair – yet with straight rhythms – Peter Daniel knows a thing or two about putting together a talented collective. So much so that he assembled a ballistic group ahead of his album release, ‘Quartets’. The ensemble features some of Seattle’s most impressive jazz creatives: Marina Christopher on bass, Marina […]
If we had to describe ‘MINISTRY’ in one word we’d choose ‘evocative’. Balancing majestic and eclectic atmospheric tones with commercial deep house and EDM tropes, the track draws inspiration from its author’s trip to Mexico – leading to Spanish stylings being incorporated into it. The author in question is London-based TheProfessR, drenching the record in […]
Honestly, ‘Strange Feeling’ is a wonderful, impressive record. Built on ethereal, alt-folk and pop stylings, the track feels soothing, yet poignant and expressive. We were so hypnotized that we instantly went to check the artist’s Spotify profile, only to find out that the single is, indeed, a debut effort… well, she’s starting her career rather […]
We receive records in French from time to time, and it’s always a pleasure to dive into them. Aside from the instant elegance they grant to a piece of music, there’s a multicultural aspect that makes music discovery much more fun and rewarding. Nosonic are the latest Parisian duo to grace our pages; championing a […]
Showcasing an intoxicating, uplifting and catchy hip-hop flair, Last Funk are as eclectic as their name suggests. Balanced between rap, acid jazz and funk, the Italian group borrows the best elements from each genre and inspiration, ending up with a quirky, yet relatable artistic formula that’s as groovy as the group’s name suggests. If you […]
Listening to ‘Flags’ feels like a nostalgic jump into the peak punk era, a return to the grittiest guitar tones, the most vivid vocals and a general chaotic flair, something that’s perhaps not so common anymore these days. The humans behind the record perfectly mirror such an aesthetic: hailing from Brighton, No See Ums delve […]
