Hailing from Liverpool, talented folk-pop troubadour Neil Potter has recently returned with a highly hypnotic and cinematic offering, ‘Shipwrecked’, a slice of eclectic aural charisma steeped in meaningful lyricism and elegant imagery. The track ships with a suggestive music video packed with complex storytelling and movie-like qualities, a touch that helps listeners immerse themselves in […]

Hailing from California, nostalgic rock outfit Reduction in Force has recently returned with ‘What’s Next?’, an expansive and anthemic cut that’s as fuzzy and intense as it is meaningful and complex. Crucially, it’s delivered to us with a wonderful stop-motion video, a close look at the American artist’s home studio, a space where toy animals […]

There’s a striking amount of melancholy and nostalgia in ‘Cold In Your Town’. Spacious and icy, the piece moves with firm yet poised charisma, layering gloomy lyrical imagery over heartwarming acoustic guitars and abstract textures. Crowning it all, we find Julie Paschke’s hypnotic, luscious vocals, even bordering on the dreamy and the ethereal, at times. […]

‘Rare Brew’ marks our point of entry into Suris’ hypnotic, luscious aural universe. An eclectic British duo, the project sees Lindsey and David Mackie at its helm, with over three decades of activity to date. Having first met as students at the University of East Anglia, the pair soon joined forces as a cohesive duo, […]

For many, it’s the end of the year. For American songstress Space Memory Effect, it’s the start of a new artistic chapter. Teaming up with producer and musician Trevor Lewington, SME delivers ‘Blue’, an elegant, luscious and evocative piece steeped in indie-rock charisma and timeless allure. It’s the project’s first offering of the year, with […]

The keen reader might recall a feature we published about Trevy James earlier this year, where we celebrated the American musician with a great deal of positive words. “It turns out, James is somewhat of a shapeshifter, artistically speaking. Comfortable amidst soulful, jazz-flavoured vibes as he is among reggae and R&B territories, Trevy is first […]

We are quite impressed by the amount of support that The Lightning Kids have managed to garner in the last few years. Hailing from London, the talented dream-pop trio has embraced a highly alluring path that borders neighbouring genres such as synth-pop and synthwave, enticing a sizable crowd that loves to get lost in the […]

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 […]

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 […]
