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.
Embracing her English lyrics era, Berlin-based songstress Ola Bird has today returned with ‘Friendship Wall’, a haunting, poignant and anthemic piece that also shines a light on why such a ‘new era’ was needed. Having recently left Poland, where she successfully developed her indie-alternative band Älskar, Bird now finds herself at a crossroads; hoping to […]
Boasting a long career as a DJ and performer, Swedish talent Viresha now looks towards lending her name and cutthroat, eclectic signature sound to the recorded music landscape. ‘Flow of Life’ signals the project’s debut effort, an evocative yet hard-hitting anthem that stands tall between tradition and futurism. Drawing inspiration from techno, house and mainstream […]
About a month ago, we were busy writing about Sirenglas’ haunting darkwave piece ‘Dance With Me (In Oblivion)’. “An interesting record exploring the harsh frontier between tradition and futurism” – we eloquently declared. Witty words aside, there’s no denying that the Vancouver-based outfit managed to come across sonic gold; boasting a committed nostalgic and melancholic […]
An incredibly evocative and vibrant offering, ‘Maybe Girl’ marks Chilled Savage’s return on the international pop and country scene. Following up from the project’s debut effort ‘Five Five’, released earlier this year’, the new single reveals further hints of what we can expect further from the American songwriter and singer, in what’s set to be […]
Leaving behind his signature rap and drill character, British creative Emdee today showcases his latest effort, an unexpected sultry R&B gem with a strong pop flair. In a way, it’s an act of defiance. The Coventry-based singer is not defined by past endeavour or public perception, instead exploring the music landscape with curiosity and eagerness. […]
Cooped up in a sunless, obscure bunker in the Hamburg underground, Blackbird Rebellion have been working on their euphoric, vibrant rock character since 2020. The German group have now reached their fifth EP, and things are better than ever. Boasting a lush, polished sonic livery and an engaging, uplifting flair, ‘Expedient Means’ is the result […]
We are certainly familiar with Leanne Wilkins. The Seattle-based songstress has been dropping hints of her work for a while, as previous single ‘Alt-Reality’ clearly showcased. Well, the time has come: ‘The Art of Letting Go’ is out today, whispering Wilkins’ heightened introspection and meaningful experiences to any keen listeners. The title is truly fitting; […]
I do feel privileged, having covered MothBreath earlier this year. Their record are always a pleasant surprise, a concoction of dreamy, ethereal tones and shoegaze decadence, all then delivered home by expansive, spacious and cathartic vocals. ‘Brand New’ saw the British duo “delving deep into their bucolic side” – as I previously described it. ‘Freedom […]
We have already spent a sizeable number of words praising Mary Knoblock, yet the Portland-based voyager is not yet done. It’s a relief: the music landscape greatly benefits from her boundary-pushing, avant-garde perspective, heavily intertwined with popular culture and constantly redefining the norms. ‘Spiritus’ is Knoblock’s latest effort, a cathartic, spiritual album with a great […]
Agent of Kaos feels like a fitting name for an artist capable of creating euphoric, chaotic pieces with a futuristic outlook. Take for instance ‘It All Starts Now’, the project’s latest effort. Drenched in bombastic and intense electronica, the track is incredibly unique and sui generis, with glitchy synths and rumbling beats perfectly complimenting a […]
A collection of Future House and EDM gems, ‘GIRLTRAP’ has been long in the making. The result of years of hard work and dedication to the craft, the EP also signals s1ms’ eclectic and nuanced musicianship, perfectly at home with glitchy, bombastic electronica and broken rhythms. Featuring 13 intense and diverse pieces, the record pairs […]
The keen reader might recall Irish songstress Sarah O’Moore from a bunch of features we published last year. Championing a lush, elegant and soulful artistry, the talented creative captured our attention with her quirky, dynamic and evocative vocal tone, constantly oscillating between R&B and pop character. Recently, O’Moore has returned to the international music scene […]
