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.
Following up on his comeback single ‘Ocean of Hours’ – described by Mesmerized as “a slow-burn, evocative anthem” – David Cloyd now returns with another stunning single, a more uplifting gem titled ‘Drive With Me’. Ultimately, it will all lead to the American troubadour’s upcoming album ‘Red Sky Warning’, expected in 2025. For the uninitiated, […]
It’s been a while since we heard from Meat in Space. Writing about the project back in January, we proudly defined it as a valuable help to “escaping our complex reality and find a slice of dreamy, euphoric joy”. Well, now we can fully test that theory out, thanks to the Californian’s creative latest EP, […]
This record goes out to all of our alternative readers. To all who wish to one day attend Burning Man, dancing their minds off from dusk till down to a stream of dreamy and hypnotising electronic matter. Well, Nexxus 604 won’t take you to Nevada, but what he can do is offer you a slice […]
‘Singing A Song About Christmas’ is not just another festive record. It’s considerably deeper and more meaningful, focusing on an aspect of the festivities that we all tend to forget about: the homeless population. While many of us are staying cosy in warm homes, surrounded by family, the less fortunate are out there suffering through […]
It’s been a while since we featured Avresa. Hailing from Australia, the talented singer and multi-instrumentalist hasn’t certainly kept still, releasing a long album earlier this year, ‘Perspective’, a sizeable body of work that fully showcased Avresa’s nuanced and eclectic rock imprint. Luckily for us, he’s not done: ‘Short Sighted’ is the single that sees […]
Having debuted three months ago with a smashing tune called ‘Gold Eyes’, Arizona-based artist and composer Alexander Thomas now returns with another little eclectic indie-rock gem titled ‘Stranger’. Performing under the moniker Juno Empire, Alexander says the musical project is a “party about celebrating being alive.” That vibe is keenly felt throughout his latest track. […]
Emerging from the dissolution of Bristol’s much-loved act Bravo Brave Bats, Kyle and the Juggernaut was initially conceived as a bedroom project by singer/songwriter and drummer Ieuan Pearse. Now a five-member strong outfit, the band recently put out their second single in the form of ‘The Passenger Seat’, a beautifully fashioned piece of hard-hitting indie-rock […]
We’ll be honest, PAENDA wasn’t on our radars. Our bad: a quick glance at her Spotify profile and industry credits reveals a deeply talented and multi-disciplinary creative, proficient at both an artistic and technical level. Hailing from Austria, PAENDA was recently awarded the prestigious MUFA Female Producer Award, a well-deserved recognition given the plethora of […]
Debuting earlier this year with ‘Party In The Sunshine’, American songstress Terra Renae has enjoyed a positive reception from audiences and tastemakers across the nations; a quick glance at her Spotify profile will promptly confirm it. Boasting more than 10k monthly listeners, Renae’s relatable, uplifting pop formula has been working as expected, offering a slice […]
Straight off the bat, I’m getting strong notes of The Smashing Pumpkins with hints of Jane’s Addiction and even a little Cage The Elephant. The tune in question is ‘Feet on the Fire’, and it comes courtesy of Canadian alternative rockers Idle Lane. A grungy and hard-hitting, yet also hauntingly beautiful track, ‘Feet on the […]
It seems to be the week of songs that don’t take themselves too seriously. Case in point: ‘Ma Bells Don’t Jingle’, the debut single from Scottish musical mischief-makers Sanity Clause. Yet more tongue-in-cheek goodness, the duo’s debut is a poppy and uplifting anti-commercialisation anthem that’s guaranteed to bring a smile to even the grumpiest of […]
“I was working on a writing exercise and I was really hungry. I took a break and all I could find was a bag of potatoes.” This is how Floridian singer/songwriter Liz Nash recalls being inspired to concoct her latest tune ‘Baked Potato’. Don’t let the title or the inspiration fool you though, the track […]
