Hollow Shift – Electric Gloom

I’ve heard Hollow Shift before, so this new single didn’t feel like meeting them from scratch. There’s already a sense of familiarity in how they build their tracks. The new single “Electric Gloom” pulled me in pretty quickly and I…

INDOLORE – Terry

French artist INDOLORE just landed on my radar a few days ago and I’ve been listening to his new single “Terry” the whole night yesterday. It keeps landing a little differently each time I hit play. It’s a slow song…

Alwyn Morrison – Puzzle Piece

Alwyn Morrison is back with a new single called “Puzzle Piece”. He is not a new name for me. I’ve followed his music before and even written about it many times. So there’s already a sense of familiarity when this…

Liyah Bey – Abused

Liyah Bey just landed on my radar with her new single “Abused”. It’s one of the best records I’ve heard in months. I played the song while sitting on the edge of my bed, not really planning to focus on…

Moonroof – Massachusetts

I’ve been keeping up with this band Moonroof for a while now, so this wasn’t a random listen for me. It was more like checking in on a band I already trust a lot. I remember writing about them last…

Maya Lumen – Maynard’s Song

I didn’t read anything about “Maynard’s Song” before hitting play which I’m glad about now. It’s the kind of track that works better when you just let it sit with you. It stays soft the whole time. No sudden shifts,…

Groovy shirt club – Believe

Groovy shirt club just released a new single called “Believe” and it’s one of those songs that clicks pretty quickly. I didn’t expect the chorus to be the part that stuck, but yeah… that’s what kept looping in my head…

Chandra – Boom

I had this one on while walking back from the store, headphones half on, cars passing, nothing special going on and it still pulled me in fast. “Boom” by Chandra leans right into that mix of pop hooks and straight-up…

Martin Lloyd Howard – Rapids  

“Rapids” by Martin Lloyd Howard doesn’t feel like a typical single you just play once and move on. It’s the kind of track you end up replaying without really planning to. It’s one of the best insturmental pieces I’ve heard…

S.K. Wellington – Honey Slow Down

I discovered this artist S.K. Wellington by accident, and her new single “Honey Slow Down” has stayed with me longer than I expected. I kept replaying it over and over again and the first thing that clicked for me was…

Don Sechelski – The Road To Damascus

I didn’t know what to expect when I pressed play on this new single, “The Road To Damascus” by Don Sechelski, an artist I recently discovered. So I played the song and within a few lines, I kind of stopped thinking about expectations…

theophilia – Big Bang

Swedish writer and producer theophilia just dropped “Big Bang” a 10-track album that doesn’t sit still for long. I played it through once, then ended up going back almost immediately. Not because I missed something, but because it felt different…

Ker – Time Traveler

Ker releases a new single called “Time Traveler” and it’s one of the best records I’ve heard recently. The song leans into that reflective retro sound he’s been building. The first thing that caught me was the chorus. The melody…

Varshana – Mystic Ringing

Varshana just landed on my radar with her amazing new single “Mystic Ringing”. I put it on last night without really expecting that groove to stick the way it did. It’s got that easy reggae bounce, but it doesn’t feel…
