There’s a lot to like in Laguna’s hazy, analogue-flavoured artistic output.

The project’s 2024 album, […]

It’s funny how we are all constantly searching for new records, somehow forgetting the good ones that have already been released. ‘young adult fiction’ belongs to that exact category, a vibrant, nostalgic and meaningful album dating back to 2023.

That’s what sets the project apart; CARMICHAEL doesn’t provide just beats, […]

A record with purpose, ‘queerannosaurus gex’ achieves the unthinkable: sharing a meaningful, contemporary message while sounding fun and fierce.
