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…
I just dsicovered this amazing artist Joho and his new release “numbness is exhausting”. This album didn’t hit me all at once. It kind of unfolded slowly, track by track, like it needed a bit of time before everything made…
There’s a kind of song that doesn’t try to grab you right away, but still ends up sitting with you longer than expected. “City of Wind” is that kind of track for me.Cling Film just landed on my radar recently…
The first thing that grabbed my attention on TJ Howlett’s new EP was the guitar. I liked how it moves through the songs. On the title track “Easy Street” the guitar lines slip in between the verses. Like another voice…
Some album titles immediately make you curious. And “Ten New Toe-Tappers for Shoplifting & Self-Mutilation” by Tom Minor definitely did that for me. It’s the kind of name that hints at humor, sarcasm and maybe a little chaos before you…
I discovered this new single “Love Ain’t Everything” by Peningo Riders late in the evening, just letting it play through my speakers while I was scrolling through a few new releases. I really liked this band’s sound. The first thing…
Some songs are built for long drives with the window slightly open. “Four Leaf Clover” by Paper Crown landed in that category for me almost immediately. It’s like a hidden gem I’ve just discovered. The song carries a mix of…
I remember writing about Moon Construction Kit back in December when “Chemicals” came out. So I was curious to hear where he would go next. I listened to this new single “Snake Charmer” late at night with headphones. Not expecting…
I spent a good part of this week listening to the new album “The World Inside” by The Iddy Biddies. It pulled me in more than I expected. At first I thought it would be a straightforward folk record, but…
CATSINGTON just dropped a new single called “many gears ago” and I ended up playing it more times than I expected. The first thing that caught my ear was the guitar. It has that slightly dusty lo-fi tone that gives…
Anna Weatherup just landed on my radar with her album “Delusional”. For me it came out of nowhere in the best way. I hadn’t been following her work before this, so pressing play was like walking into something new without…
I ended up playing this amazing album “Hurry” late at night with the lights low and my phone face down on the desk. It’s the right way to hear it. This album carries a lot of thoughts about living in…

New Laconia’s latest album “Stardust Bear Bazaar” lands like a shot of electricity straight into the ears. I’ve been following this Ukrainian project for a while. And honestly. This record shows exactly why. 10 tracks. Each is different but carries…

Some songs try to hide their message behind metaphors. OpCritical doesn’t do that with their debut single and music video “Not Alone”. The point of the track is clear. People across the country should not stay silent when others are…
I discovered Sutlej a few days ago while digging through new releases and I’m honestly glad I clicked on this one. Some bands try the grunge sound but smooth it out too much. That’s not the case here. Their new…
I just discovered this band and am happy to share it with you. I first played “Don’t Go to Work” without knowing much about Fake Plastic and by the time the chorus came around I already had the hook stuck…
