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.
Marking Tarita’s return to songwriting, ‘The Grand Old Dance of Love and Hate’ represents a welcome milestone for the Chennai-based songstress. Having spent her younger years as a singer all around the world, the talented creative took a whopping 18-year-long hiatus from music. Now, she’s returning to her craft, using it as a tool for […]
There’s something extremely intoxicating in ‘Falling Under’. And no, we are not talking about the focus of the song, a dark, manipulative relationship. We are referring to Awaiting Abigail’s electrifying, heartshaking sonic imprint, a gloomy, hard-hitting amalgam of modern metal and nu-metal references. Guided by frontwoman Abigail’s monumental vocals, the group manages to build a […]
We LOVE to get lost in music. There’s something particularly attractive in losing one’s sense of reality, completely escaping into the aural information that is being provided. ‘You Are Not a Wallflower’ is a textbook case of escapism and abstraction. Aided by the record’s liquid and eclectic sonic livery, we managed to completely lose ourselves […]
‘Lemongrass City’ is a superb record. It’s exactly what we are looking for. Hazy, vaporous vocals, bubbly, ethereal instrumental with a touch of psych energy. The latest effort L.A.-based duo BUBBLE TEA AND CIGARETTES, the single seems to distance itself from some of the group’s earlier hits, often overly gentle and slow-paced. Instead, it moves […]
Discovering Nathalie Miller is akin to stepping into a room laced with soft walls: the aural experience is soothing, playful and comforting. Yet, even among such angelic and blissful tones, one can catch a glimpse of melancholia, a sign that the human experience is ever complex and ambiguous. ‘bailey’ is the track that comes to […]
After a four-year hiatus, the rather special duo of Irish vocalist Gillian NoVa and Brazilian composer Márcio Paz have returned with an absolutely stunning new single called ‘First Echo’. Performing under the moniker Darkroom Data, Gillian and Márcio deliver a hypnotic, atmospheric, and utterly immersive piece of music that, though released only a few hours […]
There’s always been something hypnotising in Proklaim’s powerful vocal flow. It’s perhaps the way he delivers his rhymes and lines: fast, hard-hitting and sharp. Or, perhaps it’s his deep, dynamic vocal tone, constantly crowning a beat to long-lasting success. Whichever way you look at it, we’d be wrong not to consider the Namibian rapper as […]
Darkwave lovers unite! Midnight Psychic are likely to be your new favourite band. Hailing from Connecticut, Jayson Munro and George Moore have been busy writing music since early 2022. Constantly treading the fine line between gothic-esque new wave (think of The Cure) and more contemporary, darkwave/soviet-flavoured episodes (think Molchat Doma), the group has now unveiled […]
So, we have this record and it’s pretty good, but we cannot tell you who’s behind it. Other than the project’s obscure name – Oreaganomics – everything else is seemingly secret. Interestingly, that’s not the first time it’s happened to us, although on this occasion we can certainly provide some more context. We are told […]
The keen reader might recall reading about TT’s latest album ‘Man on the Corner’ not long ago, a record we proudly described as “a series of authentic, unfiltered songs that are incredibly rare in today’s music industry”. We stand by our words: the American musician engages in both personal and relatable themes, especially highlighted by […]
It took me less than a minute to get lost in Freya Arde’s cathartic, transformative compositions. ‘A Few Seconds’ made the difference – literally and figuratively. Part of the German creative’s latest album ‘E C H O’, the track perfectly blends electronic textures and classical frills, making for a piece that’s lush, eclectic and dreamy, […]
Adam + Attack by Fire knows exactly how treacherous the waters he is treading in are. In fact, he’s navigating them willingly. ‘All Good Hair Bands’ is defined as ‘bombastic’ by the American artist himself, here seeking to pay homage to the 80s’ playful, colourful and over-the-top aesthetic, especially in music. Packing a wealth of […]
