We have been writing extensively about The Marsh Family – and we are not the only ones. Taking the world by storm during the pandemic, the English group managed to offer a mellow, positive take on collective artistry, building intricate vocal arrangements and prolific instrumentals under their family-based dimension. It’s worked well: boasting a string […]

It seems like every two months, I find myself singing the praises of Canadian indie act The Muster Point Project. Headed up by Kevin Franco, the outfit has become regulars around these parts – and we couldn’t be prouder to have them!  ‘It Was Here He Received His Only Formal Education’ was an album I’d […]

Phoenix-based singer/songwriter and producer Sophia Bavishi has graced our pages many times before. To be honest, she’s essentially a household name around these parts. A sonic explorer known for her genre-bending auditory landscapes, Sophia’s latest offering ‘In The Woods’ is a chewy and synth-filled adventure. Deeply immersive and wonderfully textured, the lush and ethereal tune […]

Authentic, soulful, and full of character, ‘Time’ and ‘Old Machine’ are the latest country-infused offerings from Nunavut-based singer/songwriter Lester Slade. With both tunes being recorded live at Never Nuthin Recordings, there’s a beautifully raw and intimate feel that seeps through the whiskey-soaked banjo numbers. It’s almost as if you’re in the studio with Lester and […]

Ride The Noise is not your run-of-the-mill artistic musical entity. Spearheaded by multi-instrumentalist and producer Dan Cavalca, the project sees the Italian creative delving into buttery smooth, mellow drum grooves and fragrant, luscious synth tones, achieving a sonic ethos that’s dreamy and hazy, introspective and abstract.  ‘Lucid Dream’ is Ride The Noise’s latest effort, a […]

Arliston have had a decisively positive year. We certainly did too, listening to them! Writing about ‘What Did I Think Would Happen’ earlier this year, we proudly declared it an “incredibly expansive and nuanced record, a nugget of cathartic fit into a poignant, ethereal livery”. We stand by our words; the British duo possess the […]

We already praised Filip Dahl a great deal on our pages, even describing his musicianship as “absolutely phenomenal, easy to see why Dahl is so highly thought of in the guitar world”. At the time, we were writing about ‘I Still See You’, an evocative, anthemic piece with elegant guitar playing. Now, the Norwegian talent […]

It’s the sixth of December 2024 and I’m ready to call it…Canadian indie-pop duo Wotts is my band of the year. Sure, last year was when my love affair with the act began, but this year, they’ve proven they’re more than just a crush – they’re a bit of an obsession. ‘sinking’ is the pair’s […]

Valaura is an up-and-coming Detroit-based outfit who recently unleashed their remarkable sophomore single in the form of ‘Running in Circles’. Serving as the follow-up to their debut ‘Take My Hand’, ‘Running in Circles’ finds its unique sonic inspiration in acts like Arctic Monkeys, Florence & The Machine, Steely Dan, and Twenty One Pilots. It’s a […]

There’s not much like a bit of smooth, old-school hip-hop to ease one into the weekend. With this in mind, allow me to introduce you to Black Silver, Main Flow, El Gant, DJ Obi, and DJ Mino. All highly respected artists in their field, their recent collaborative effort ‘Magnum 88’ delivers a seamless fusion of […]

Hailing from Nashville, Lauren Presley knows a thing or two about pop music. Boasting a public profile that’s packed with dedicated fans and millions of streams across the board, the talented songstress has recently unveiled her latest effort, an intense yet nuanced pop-rock anthem titled ‘People Leave’. Introducing itself with a rather mellow character, the […]

An incredibly nuanced and intricate record, ‘The Nothing But The Sun’ EP is exactly what today’s lazy, rainy Friday afternoon calls for. Don’t get us wrong, this is not in any way background material – rather, the EP is a luscious, elegant slice of eclectic artistry, delivered with heartwarming energy by the creative mind of […]
