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.
Just over a year ago, we were busy celebrating Gaby Duboisjoli’s latest EP ‘Feel Me’ as “steamy and seductive lyricism, delivered with strong elegance and evocative flair”. A lot has changed since then, from the talented French-born artist moving from London to sunnier Spanish lands, to the project’s overall creative focus shifting to multi-lingual, genre-bending […]
It’s been a while since we heard from Wednesday’s Child. Since their 2023 EP ‘Seven Sisters’, to be exact. Of course, the London-based, female-led band never truly went away, always bubbling under the surface, performing all over the British capital’s most hyped and prestigious venues, and developing quite a reputation for their theatrical, intense and […]
We approach British trio Vacant Shores with a certain curiosity and reverence. You see, the Bristol-based group embraces quite a cathartic and hypnotic sonic allure, crafting dreamy and hazy trip-hop and electro material with heightened ethereal charge. Imagine heavenly soundscapes, light beats, and the most luscious and evocative vocal harmonies you have ever come across; […]
‘Glass Wings’ is a record that wants to challenge the listeners. Steeped in dissonant metal-influenced soundscapes and lamentous, eerie vocals, the track feels as dark and obscure as it could be, perfectly mirroring the destructive chaos of our modern society. In a way, ‘Glass Wings’ seeks to appeal to our deepest fears, creating a temporary […]
It’s been a productive year from a reunion standpoint. There’s been a surprising amount of bands emerging from year-long hiatuses, returning with a newly found outlook on music. We wonder what might spark such a return? Perhaps the chaotic nature of global society calls for artistic expression and collective catharsis, or maybe it’s just down […]
We did tease ‘Preludes’ EP earlier this year, celebrating Cole Blouin as “a creative entity that approaches the musical medium from a vast multitude of angles, simply championing personal expression, wherever that might take him.” We stand by our words; the New York-based sonic artist, producer, and songwriter is rather elusive and enigmatic, exploring the […]
This one is for all the retro heads out there. ‘Only Answer’ delves deeper into nostalgic, analogue-laden synths and warm, groovy beats, carving out a unique aural path that ties together italo-disco, synth-pop, disco, and disco-funk. It partly reminds us of the kind of obscure and dark – yet luscious and sultry – material that […]
Gen Z would probably describe ‘A Different Animal’ as the ‘beginning of a new era’ for Dog Years. It is indeed true that the Newcastle-based group has been silent for a while, precisely since their 2019 album ‘A Flame in Waiting’. A lot has changed since then. Trust us, a looooot. Yet, Dog Years haven’t […]
We approach Aliénore’s aural universe with a certain reverence and respect. You see, the Berlin-based French-British singer, songwriter, and musician is not your average artist. Far from it. Occupying a sonic and creative space that’s sacred, cinematic and rather haunting, the talented songstress uncovers a wealth of hypnotic and introspective textures, all the while delivering […]
The keen reader might remember Norwegian artist and producer SIKADE from a feature we published almost a year ago, praising ‘bloody moon’ as “one of Norway’s best-kept secrets, championing a truly cathartic and bucolic ethos, layering intimate and deep songwriting over soothing harp and cello tones.” We stand by our words: the young songstress is […]
There’s an incredible amount of vulnerability and meaningful lyricism in Eliza Noxon’s material. Gearing up for her upcoming album ‘Monsters With Bad Habits’, expected on February 27th, the American songstress has recently unveiled her latest single ‘You’, a heartfelt, personal piece steeped in grief-stricken nostalgia and immensurable loss. Wrapped in intense pop-rock sonic energy and […]
As heartbreak anthems go, ‘Temporary Toothache’ is certainly one of the most poised and reflective. Steeped in nostalgia and sober acceptance, the song sees 19-year-old songstress Quinn deliver a stunning vocal performance, showcasing her malleable, evocative vocals with incredible maturity and mastery. Originally from Nashville and now based in Savannah, the talented creative has unveiled […]
