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.
Blending cinematic production and lyrical introspection, Stomp Box Choir land on a sonic formula that effectively bridges the gap between pop and electronica.
The listening experience is vivid and brooding, with moments of aural distortions balancing over a keen cinematic flair. It’s a formula that is electrifying at times, and tender and introspective at others.
‘Final Descent’ is a striking display of how heavy, thunderous distortions can coexist with ballad-driven, poignant sections, making for a listening experience that’s electrifying and cinematic.
Collecting a series of live radio recordings, ‘On Air’ offers listeners a pure, unfiltered look at the whimsical and genius artistry that propels Mahto & The Loose Balloons.
Drawing on legendary icons such as The Beatles and Elton John, among others, the album swaps rowdy rock’n’roll guitar distortion for a charming electric piano, a choice that appears to be paying off.
‘Ten’ picks up from where ‘FrGrry’ left off, albeit with a heavier and bolder character. Cinematic and melancholic textures are masterfully laid above a UK Garage, Dubstep-esque beat.
Snake Charmer is a slice of escapism packed with triumphant and prophetic energy, a dream-laden psychedelic cut that one can easily get lost in.
Drenched in introspective allure and quiet confidence, ‘Sophomore Slump’ may well be Valianti’s best song to date. Playfully laidback, yet vibrant and relatable. She’s the real deal.
This is not merely rap music; this is contemporary poetry! Kam Boora manages to take his talent for rhythm and storytelling and package it into one hard-hitting and relatable record.
‘CODE’ stands out as a brilliant tongue-in-cheek offering, a bold, uplifting single that is particularly in tune with popular culture.
‘No Regrets’ hides highly personal and meaningful lyricism behind an uplifting and nostalgic sonic facade. The single sees Timothy O at his best.
‘⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆falling off the earth⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺’ sounds exactly like its title looks. Expansive, liberating, and incredibly peculiar.
