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.
One thing we appreciate about N33T is their deeply eclectic and multi-genre outlook. Embracing the modern pop frontier, the Australian project balances its artistry on mainstream tones and leftfield influences, eventually making room for truly boundary-pushing results. Part hyper-pop, part new wave and dream pop, ‘insecure’ is the perfect example of that. Taken from N33T’s […]
Adam + Attack By Fire is very adamant in explaining how Americana wasn’t necessarily a genre he was striving for. Simply, it just happened. In a way, it’s a truly wisdom-driven songwriting strategy: the American songster focuses on his lyrical needs, instead of pursuing a vague idea of what his project should sound like. ‘Rhythm […]
There’s certainly no need to give out context on this record, but we’ll do it anyway. Have you ever heard of 80s British legends A Flock Of Seagulls? A seminal figure in the new wave and synth Britannia scene, the Liverpool-based project has earned a permanent place in music history, and deservedly so. Guided by […]
‘The Kids’ is one of the best examples of how a song needs time to grow and mature. Originally written in 1989 by Canadian musician Michael Fisher, aka Animal Souls, it then spent years in a fictitious artistic ‘incubation’, eventually finding a place on the project’s 2021 album ‘Wisdom of Crowds’. The version we are […]
Easing us sweetly into the weekend is a seven-song collection of dreamy, folk-inspired goodness from Los Angeles-based pop singer/songwriter Ashley Elle. ‘Say Something’ is the artist’s debut EP, and it sees her delving deep into the euphoric intensity of romance in all its complexities. ‘They Always Come Back’ kicks off proceedings gently with a laidback […]
Cards on the table…I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek at Diego Philips‘ delicate new EP before the rest of the world. I was incredibly grateful – but found it hard being unable to share it with you lovely people. Thankfully, today, I finally can! Born in Belgium and currently based in London, […]
Boasting millions of streams on Spotify alone, B.Miles has been the recipient of an impressive artistic rise, something that’s been frankly overdue. Oscillating between melancholia and nostalgia, the New York-based songstress maintains a strongly relatable flair, often layered onto slices of indie-pop euphoria and guitar-based prowess. ‘Xmas Sox’ is the project’s latest effort, a festive […]
‘The Love Is Real’ is a truly special record. While one might be quick to dismiss it as an acoustic piece, the reality tells us that it’s much more than that. It’s a slice of healing energy in musical form, a cathartic, soothing stream of poignant melodies and tones, all delivered by Louisa Love’s caring […]
This is a record that fits a specific set of keywords, but it does it well, with a certain peculiarity and uniqueness. Think dreamy, hazy, ethereal; expansive tones, lush guitar sounds and a veiled lo-fi character. ‘Poison + Sugar’ is exactly that but on steroids, a slice of lusciousness and abstraction that never lets go, […]
We paced ourselves with Christmas records this year, focusing only on the best ones out there. Among them, ‘It’s Christmas Time’ by Amber & The Embers caught our attention, thanks to an eclectic instrumental focused on funk-oriented grooves and less stereotypical sonic choices. The result is an uplifting, wholesome and heartwarming jewel that instantly puts […]
What a year it has been for The Rolling People! Hailed as one of the UK’s most promising bands, the Manchester-based outfit has built a sizeable following and a long list of appreciative tastemakers, a journey that’s bound to culminate in their biggest homecoming show to date – 02 Ritz on the 21st of December. […]
Closing off their debut year with a bang, Edinburgh-based outfit Annie and the Jays unveil their first EP, ‘DUSK’. A nugget of hazy indie stylings and meaningful lyricism, the record showcases the sonic wealth the group has to offer, blending intimate songwriting with a more contemporary and expansive sonic livery. That’s the ethos behind Annie […]
