A new single release from Fake Mannequin is almost like a lesson in sound sculpting, as the track delivers a lot of smooth and vast tonalities, edging on dream pop but still giving that early to mid-90s style alternative approach, with a little bit of drive, a unique Sonic presence, and that cinematic twang that brings everything together. This is a single that definitely speaks volumes for the project and how they're able to produce tracks that are slightly outside the box a

A beautifully performed new single from T. Nautilus delivers a cross between something very current in terms of singer-songwriter approaches, giving off hints of indie undertone, and classic folk songwriting at the same time. There's something about this song that puts you right there in the moment with it. You get pulled into not just these gorgeous layers of texture delivered by the acoustic guitars, but also the vocals. The beauty of this track is how it's built and put to

A set of songs released from The Revolutionary Ward brings out a massive and sonically driving array of rock music that takes all kinds of different directions, touching on everything from alternative rock to classic rock, and most things in between. Throughout these singles, you can hear some southern undertone; shredding guitars, drums that don't just sit in the pocket, but rather give songs a lively energy and push them forward, and plenty of experimental songwriting along

Born Soul is an artist we are quite familiar with as the artist has been dropping refreshing releases from a long time. His most recent, the TUT E.P. really let him break free and dig deep with his lyrics and production approaches. The record branches out and blends vintage soul and jazz in with the hip-hop, letting the record come through with a lively and alluring soundscape. During our video interview with the artist, we dig into his process, what the recode is really abou

A beautiful new single from Jay Putty delivers such a warm and incredibly inviting atmosphere that drifts and dreams, as it portrays things that the heart desires and does all of this with a sort of spacious and almost cinematically thriving tonality. "Lost In You" is pretty straightforward lyrically. It's about love. As the title suggests, it's about getting lost in someone. Getting lost in everything about them. It's a sentiment that a lot of us can relate to because a lot

“Sebastopol,” the new single by Lost On The Metro, arrives with a warm, Southern folk-rock charm that immediately draws us in. Built around an inviting guitar tone and easygoing rhythm, the track creates a sense of familiarity that feels both nostalgic and fresh. As we listen, we’re carried along by melodic vocals that glide effortlessly over the instrumentation, giving us a song that feels as comforting as it is memorable.

A new release from Inimata recently dropped, and this record encapsulates a rambunctious attitude, a set of performances, and a blend of genres that's almost difficult to put into words. However, that's part of the fun. When you come across a record this wild and sort of boundless, especially in the way of sticking to a genre, my job is suddenly one of the most fun things to do. I love music like this because it gives you the unexpected. There are more than a few surprises ar

A fresh release from Floorplan delivers an edgy but super colorful pop single that breeds a lot of honesty, simply because of where he's coming from with everything and how open he is about letting all of that out. Before we get into the lyrics, the music of this track is outstanding. The whole thing has a heavy-handed groove; you end up just bopping along with it automatically, and the vocals come through with hook after hook. Even the verses have hook melodies in them and e

Every once in a while, after decades of covering rock bands, a track lands in your inbox that stops you mid-snooze. For me this week, that track was Devil’s Dance from ALBORN. I’ll admit it, I clicked play expecting another competent modern rock single and instead got something that flat-out slams. The energy hits immediately, the groove pulls you in, and by the time the track opens up into its unexpected textures, you realize this isn’t just another loud rock release. That k
