The Gold Tips – Hope and Recreation
I was supposed to write about this album “Hope and Recreation” back in March, but every time I sat down to do it, nothing came out. Not because I didn’t like it, kind of the opposite. I’d hit play just…
Floë Brown – Through Your Veins
I found “Through Your Veins” late at night and ended up replaying the chorus before the song even finished. Didn’t expect that. Floë Brown is still new to me, but this song made it easy to stay. Her voice is…
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…

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…
Ian Vargo – I Love You Even More Now That You’re a Little Fucked Up
Ian Vargo showed up on my feed out of nowhere and his new single stuck around longer than I expected. “I Love You Even More Now That You’re a Little Fucked Up”. It’s a long title but you’ll love it.…

Don Sechelski – The Road To Damascus

Phoebe June – Dead Sea
I didn’t expect this song to stick with me, but it did. Not in a loud way. More like something that quietly hangs around after it ends. Phoebe June has a pure voice and the way she conveys emotions through music is…
Tom Minor – Ten New Toe-Tappers for Shoplifting & Self-Mutilation
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…

David Scott Weaver · Two A nice acoustic guitar opens this new single “Two” by David Scott Weaver. For a moment you feel like the song is just testing the air before settling in. It’s just a simple melody easing…
Lilia Asha – Gaslighted

Anna Weatherup – Delusional
