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.
The Nordics have always been a hotbed of musical goodness, but lately, they have been particularly productive, as the keen reader will be certainly aware. MaVe is the latest addition to our Scandinavian features: hailing from Oslo, the Norwegian songstress enjoys a vaporous, angelic take on alt-pop and folk sensibilities, all declined into luscious arrangements […]
When we mention Lucille Two, we are not referring to the Bluth-shaped universe of Arrested Development. Instead, we are presenting to you our latest obsession, a hazy alt-pop duo steeped in angelic, spacious vocals and playfully eclectic sound design. Born from the artistic partnership of Trudy Bennett and Jarrin Borg, Lucille Two have recently unveiled […]
The keen reader will be glad to see Benjamin Rajani back with new music. Featuring the Faroese voyager’s previous single ‘Mánakvøld’ back in December, we proudly declared it “a deeply magical listening experience”. We stand by our words: the project wraps listeners into a heightened sense of wonder, a poignant, cathartic sonic universe informed by […]
Chart-topper in-training Haiden Henderson has enjoyed sweeping success over the past couple of years, with several singles gaining millions of listeners and an impressive social media following. It’s not hard to understand why: firstly, his aesthetic is bold, daring and incredibly contemporary. Pair that with the project’s punk-pop, hard-hitting and fierce sonic character, and you […]
Fuzzy, hazy and rather alternative: ‘portals’ does a good job of introducing us – and the world – to the imaginative, liminal shores of Agora Sci-fi. The project is certainly relevant for its aural goodness, yet the human behind it is also a talented animator and visual artist, allowing the debut single to also boast […]
When it comes to Hana Piranha’s face-melting, hard-hitting music, all bets are off. Championing a decadent, pompous aesthetic that’s partly horror-inspired and partly fallen angel-esque, the project is able to serve limitless alt-rock fierceness with a heightened sultry and emo component. It’s not our first rodeo with Hana Piranha, in fact: writing about her 2023 […]
A highly meaningful offering, ‘Like Lovers Do’ might cause the shedding of a few tears among listeners. Echoing the intricate conflict between pride and love – something that’s always been a point of friction for any relationship – the song takes Tonneau’s lyrical message to new heights, wrapping it in a stunning acoustic arrangement. Boasting […]
We did warn readers that they were gonna hear about Consequential again. We featured him just a few days ago, celebrating ‘Down’ as “a hard-hitting, striking piece”. We stand by our words: the British producer’s artistic output is often very imaginative and creative, steadily building a ‘vibe’ and wrapping the listeners into a fictional, yet […]
Decoding Greta Isaac’s multifaceted artistry into a short literary piece is perhaps a futile endeavour. Not because she wouldn’t be worth it – on the contrary, it would be the pinnacle of any music writer worth their salt. Rather, because of the deep intertwining between the project’s introspective, personal lyricism and its aural counterpoint, a […]
Remarkable. My listening experience with ‘The Lamb and The Shepherd’ prompted a meaningful nostalgia-driven, introspective moment, and a few tears might have been shed too. It’s the least I could do: faced with such potent and heart-shaking artistry, one has to reckon with it, letting the record slowly enter the deepest corner of their consciousness. […]
By mentioning Have a Nice Life as one of his primary influences, Egyptian voyager FHMY has conquered our unconditional loyalty. A closer look at the project’s expansive, kaleidoscopic and evocative catalogue reveals a creative figure constantly meddling with genres and references, ultimately emerging with a dazzling blend of post-punk, shoegaze and emotional soundscapes. What more […]
Taking mainstream goodness back to more authentic ‘electric’ and glitchy territories, Chayne is on a mission to reinvent contemporary pop, infusing it with unmatched boldness and fierce lyricism. Debuting last year with ‘Number One’, the talented young songstress has now unveiled her latest effort, ‘Don’t Make Me Laugh’, a vibrant tongue-in-cheek anthem standing against emotional […]
