There’s a lot to look forward to in ‘Lifetime Of Unending Joy’. A nugget of cathartic energy and poignant vibrancy, the album is sort of elegant and polite, yet expressive and obscure. Sonically, it ranges from alt-folk to indietronica, with the occasional foray into dreamier territories. This results in a pretty compelling emotional spectrum, one […]

If ‘A Place Called Home’ was uplifting and anthemic, Clark’s latest effort ‘Iced Tea’ is more nuanced, exploring a different side of the American songstress.

There’s a distinct post-rock energy in ‘Sin Altares’, making us feel nostalgic. Balanced over new wave and punk stylings, the record feels gloomy and obscure, yet punchy and rebellious. Such a delicate balance between darkness and fierceness comes to us courtesy of Argentinian group Amáutica. Active for over a decade, the band pens ‘Sin Altares’ […]

Immersive and cathartic, ‘Any of It’ is a hypnotising slice of modern indietronica, an evocative piece providing a riveting, magical listening experience. Over a dreamy four minutes, the record sees Hungarian outfit Imitation showcasing their creative prowess, especially delving into slow releases of sonic intensity and ethereal, trance-flavoured electronica.  The end result is certainly compelling, […]

Why is every Khemet McConville record so good? We are pretty familiar with the project, having previously written about ‘I Look Through Your Window’. At the time, we proudly declared it “an elegant, slowly-moving gem”, something that was perhaps quite reductive given how special and cathartic it all felt. Lucky for us, McConville has just […]

Boasting a fierce and playful creative persona, Ronnue is an artist you will not forget anytime soon. Crafting nostalgic retro funk and R&B with modern production and contemporary flair, the American talent has recently achieved a whopping half a million streams on Spotify alone with ‘You Got Me Open’, a single that’s incredibly charismatic and […]

There’s a certain simplicity and innocence in ‘Viola’. Built on a mellow instrumental with clean guitars and polite drums, the record builds the perfect sonic universe where Paul Claxton can flourish. Based in London but originally from Liverpool, the English singer-songwriter finds his unique identity in poignant, evocative pieces balanced between Americana, alt-pop and classic […]

Gloomy and obscure, ‘Situations’ is an old-school rap piece, yet fully functioning in the present. Moving at a medium pace, the record features a dynamic, eclectic production revolving around an anthemic, melancholic loop, providing the perfect sonic background for Bloodlin3‘s sharp vocal flow, here delivered with calm and confidence while pushing an empowering and motivational […]

Created to keep the party alive, ‘LIVE FAST DIE SLOW’ is the brief yet electrifying debut EP from Dallas-based punk rockers NXCK.

Courtesy of Brighton-based indie-pop act Giant Killers, the ten-track offering was one that I instantly fell in love with.  The backstory to the record is a rather remarkable one, but we’ll leave that for another day. Opening the album […]
