We are keen to write about ‘honest’, yet we would urge everyone to experience it first-hand: music cannot always be described with words, sometimes it needs to be… ‘felt’. ‘honest’ is the strongest evidence of that: built on an expansive, evocative hip-hop and emo character, the record is a stunning nugget of melancholia and pain, […]

There’s a reason why global tastemakers are going crazy for Canadian indie-rock hero Housewife. Boasting a fuzzy, slightly lo-fi character, the talented creative constantly oscillates between melancholia and euphoria, penning songs that feel uplifting and empowering, yet painful and packed with gravitas. The sonic picture is equally convincing, with post-punk and indie influences taking a […]

It’s been an exciting few months for London-based songstress LAMBERT, with ‘After Dark’ and the super lush ‘Used To Be’ paving the way for the project’s new artistic era. Today, that era reaches a new milestone with the release of ‘Human Nature’, a haunting, hazy electro-pop gem packed with nuanced textures and cathartic, evocative vocals. […]

We are overwhelmed by the tenderness and beauty contained in ‘are you coming home?’. Wrapped into an elegant, hazy indie folk livery, the record feels hyper-contemporary and cathartic, showcasing the rich artistry championed so gloriously by clovers daughter. Highlighting her Palestinian roots, the talented songstress delivers a heartfelt reflection on identity and belonging, yet maintains […]

Except for South African legends Fokofpolisiekar, I can’t think of another band whose name features such a striking use of the F-word. With that said, please welcome Paris-based act The Blues Fuckers Foundation, a rock ‘n’ roll outfit that pulls from all genres to deliver music that’s as raw and rebellious as their moniker.  ‘If […]

‘Lesson’ is a stunningly beautiful tune that features on Someone Called Sarah‘s dynamic debut album ‘Summer Snow Globe’. Released in the middle of last year, the eleven-track offering is a true work of DIY brilliance, with the artist (Sarah Rose Lamb) attending to every step of the record’s creation from underneath her loft bed in […]

“This is our best album ever!” says John Beckmann, the brains behind New York City-based outfit Mortal Prophets. The album in question is ‘Ghost Land’, a twenty-three-track ambient offering that once again sees John and Co. pushing the musical envelope to new heights. Described by Beckmann as “imaginary cinema,” ‘Ghost Land’ unfolds like the soundtrack […]

We haven’t forgotten about PAENDA: writing about ‘One More Time’ just a few months ago, we proudly declared it “a strong, catchy single focusing on evocative and relatable storytelling”. We stand by our words: the Vienna-based songstress has a knack for anthemic, emotional and meaningful lyricism, often wrapped in a luscious EDM production. Latest effort […]

We find ‘Evergreen’ extremely interesting. A sonically crepuscular and nuanced piece, the record seeks to highlight the process of taking a leap of faith, highlighted by AUNCE as a challenging moment of change and trust. The keen listener will quickly observe how a ‘leap of faith’ is also what it takes for artists to share […]

‘Dust’ is truly one of the most unique records we have come across in a while. It surely doesn’t fit in a single genre, and it’s certainly not mainstream. Instead, it champions a peculiar sonic livery, one that’s strictly intertwined with Bart Thiede’s own identity. Of Irish and Polish origins, the talented creative has all […]

If you are not yet familiar with Cubicore, this is the perfect occasion to get accustomed to him. Granted, not everyone might be in the mood for some electrifying, anthemic dance music, and perhaps not on a Wednesday (today). Yet, there’s a certain sense of liberation and freedom in letting yourself go to massive synth […]

It hasn’t been long since Tom Minor’s latest album ‘Eleven Easy Pieces on Anger & Disappointment’ – in fact, it’s been just over two months. Described as “an impressive milestone” by us at Mesmerized, the record paved the way for the British songster’s career growth, now continuing through his latest single ‘Future Is an F […]
