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.
Paying a heartfelt and fierce tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, British rock powerhouse Courtney Hadwin has recently unveiled an evocative, anthemic version of Black Sabbath’s ‘Changes’. Channelling the timeless ballad energy exuded by the original record, Hadwin decides to double down on it, unfurling a stream of stripped-back, evocative goodness with a surprisingly fierce […]
Our first impression of ‘Wolf Country’ is incredibly positive. It’s a surprisingly hypnotic and blissful record, an album that feels precious and luscious, but also relatable and heartwarming. Oscillating between folk-leaning pieces and more experimental, electronic-flavoured bits, ‘Wolf Country’ sparks a refreshing listening experience without sounding too unconventional or boundary-pushing. Instead, the American songstress manages […]
Distortions! Grittiness! Gloominess! We want it all. That’s why we have taken a keen interest in Broken Romeo’s latest effort, ‘Chaos Ritual’. Potent and melancholic, the piece embarks on an unapologetic journey into the dark corners of the human experience, from destructive habits and toxic obsession to negative thoughts and unchecked pulsions. The record unveils […]
We enter DBsock’s artistic universe with a certain reverence and religious silence. Steeped in elegant, soulful R&B, the project oscillates between melancholy and lusciousness, sparking a listening experience that’s rewarding, yet also boundary-pushing and imaginative. ‘Maillard Reaction’ is the perfect evidence of that, a piece that’s both intense and sultry. It’s the perfect match for […]
The keen reader might remember Shelita from a feature we published earlier this year, praising ‘Fade’ as “rather ethereal and angelic, fully capturing the nuanced artistry of the talented songstress”. We stand by our words: the American artist is an incredible human. Formerly known as Shelita Burke, music is just part of what keeps her […]
We enter Sugar Scars’ aural world with a certain reverence and curiosity. You see, the American-Mexican duo crafts material that’s hard to place into a specific genre box. Instead, it’s eclectic and boundary-pushing, oscillating between darkness and lusciousness with free-form allure and otherworldly flair. ‘Dark Spark – White Light’ is the perfect evidence of that. […]
‘All The Light We Dim’ marks our point of entry into Charlie Uffelman’s artistic universe. It’s a wholesome, eclectic place, a sonically rich, relatable dimension steeped in honest songwriting and lyrical nostalgia. Written against the backdrop of intense personal changes and societal turmoil, ‘All The Light We Dim’ seems to embrace a gentle, evocative ethos, […]
An observant and personal effort, ‘Pixelated Perfidy’ marks the latest single by New York-based creative Áyal, a piece that’s as vibrant and melodic as it is meaningful and reflective. You see, Áyal indulges in a heartfelt and certainly honest reflection on modern dating, especially regarding the relationship dynamics surrounding dating apps. Tired and defeated after […]
A catchy, evocative piece with a playful twist, ‘Game of Love’ is the latest effort by Californian songwriter Michellar. Hailing from San Francisco, the talented creative is a familiar face on our blog, especially known for her songwriting efforts, honest and authentic pieces with luscious melodies and relatable lyricism. ‘Game of Love’ confirms that, uncovering […]
The keen reader might gladly remember Australian singer-songwriter John Leslie. Writing about ‘Cosmic Echoes’ back in 2022, we celebrated the project as “an artist whose musical output has proven time and time again to be classy, meaningful and of high quality.” We stand by our words: Leslie can be seen as a holistic creative, a […]
Dark, gloomy and intense; that’s how we like our goth-rock (and how it should always be, regardless of personal preferences). ‘Blazed Shades & Thorned Veils’ does exactly that, offering a world of melancholic guitars and rowdy drum grooves on a silver, mool-lit aural plate. Packing thirteen tracks and a great deal of hypnotic flair, the […]
I like the way Campoli thinks. He’s quite adamant about his disinterest in following certain trends or pre-conceived formulas. He’s not writing music for anyone specifically, just making art that he’s proud of and that he personally resonates with. For that, I must praise the American troubadour and musician. The keyword here is authenticity; a.k.a. […]
