It was only last month I found myself waxing lyrical about Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Vince Grant, AKA The Sea at Midnight. I’d stumbled upon a powerful tune called ‘Wait For Rain‘ and was proud to declare it “a masterful blend of art and advocacy.”  Since then, Vince has released three new singles, the last of […]

Balancing themselves over shoegaze and grunge tones, Griefeater are catering for a rather large audience. We are sure of that: thanks to their expansive, evocative wall of sounds and relatable, melancholic lyrics, the Chicago-based outfit has managed to create a compelling sonic universe for every misfit out there.  ‘Bottom of the Well’ is their latest […]

We like to keep an eye on the European music scene, and as such we are proud to showcase a very, very talented young lady emerging from the industrious German lands: Marie Bothmer. Currently enjoying a sharp rise in popularity, the stylish songstress has recently unveiled ‘Raketendicht’, a catchy and melancholic gem packed with charisma […]

We are not familiar with ZØYA – or rather, we weren’t. Turns out she’s one of America’s brightest musical promises, walking the fine line between mainstream tones and leftfield attitude, pursuing personal, authentic artistry that has so far paid off greatly. ‘It’s Alright – Acoustic Version’ is the record that caught our attention, a rework […]

It’s been a busy period for Americana heroes Trickshooter Social Club. Following up on last year’s ‘Better Than Love’, the Chicago-based outfit now returns with ‘Television’, a meaningful, nostalgic anthem aimed at celebrating the small, fleeting moments that make family and life so worthwhile. It’s nothing out of the ordinary for the talented group, which […]

We last wrote about MatAre in July 2024, celebrating what was seemingly a new era for the American rocker. Defining ‘Forever Light’ as “raising the stakes, sounding better than ever”, we were adamant about the project’s future. Now, the Atlanta-based creative returns with an uplifting, nostalgic gem, ‘Under A Stone’. Built on lush indie guitar […]

A quick look at Sheykh Forever’s catalogue reveals an inspired, bold outfit committed to experimentation and eclecticism. A collaborative effort, the project is guided by London-based, Iraqi-born multi-instrumentalist Mostafa Al, Sheykh Forever’s ‘chief visionary officer’. After a short hiatus, Mostafa Al returned last November, unveiling the inspiring, anti-war anthem ‘Run for cover’. In it, keen […]

As a creative talent, Jason Masi is always moving forward, never looking back. Comfortable in bluesy, rock settings as he is in more pop, polished tunes, the American songwriter boasts an extensive catalogue of records, especially regarding his solo career. ‘Pretty’ is his latest effort, a bubbly, uplifting gem packed with relatable lyricism and Masi’s […]

A nuanced and meaningful single, ‘Cyclone’ does a great job of emphasising the gloomy and destructive nature of imposter syndrome – the concept behind the song. It does so by creating the perfect instrumental contour, a haunting yet elegant prog and alt-rock livery continuously modulating its intensity, including the prophetic fade-out outro. Penned by Canadian […]

If Atticus Roness’ 2023 album ‘Square One’ told us anything, it’s that he’s perfectly capable of indulging in tender melodies and soothing instrumental matter. He then took a rather… rowdier approach last year, with double single ‘The Man With No Name/Napa Valley Suicide’ packed with fuzzy guitar and post-rock energy. It seems that Roness has […]

Sure, it’s early days, but Seattle-based singer/songwriter Brian Noyes‘ latest single ‘Tapestries’ has firmly claimed the title of my standout track of the year so far. A delicate, folky, and dreamy psych-pop offering, ‘Tapestries’ serves as the first single from Brian’s forthcoming album ‘Seelie Court’, and was admittedly influenced by legendary musicians Bert Jansch and […]

In June last year, we came across a smooth and mesmerizing tune called ‘Bite Hard‘. Courtesy of California-based singer/songwriter and producer Jack Pavlina, the eclectic fusion of hip-hop, indie-pop, and a sprinkling of soulful rock simply blew us away! We’ve been keeping tabs on Jack ever since, and today we are honoured to introduce you […]
