A pretty massive release from drummer and composer Sean Noonan, along with the London Symphony Orchestra, delivers this super robust and incredibly theatrical sound and aesthetic, all with the full Orchestra bringing songs to life, along with Sean himself performing the drums and elements of spoken word. This album is absolutely gigantic and kind of like nothing you've heard before. This is a bit outside the box, very experimental, but incredibly indulging. It is an amazing e

Stevie Violet’s new album Chrysalis arrives as a bright and thoughtful collection of songs that blends indie-pop and rock with natural ease. Across the record, she leans into smart and catchy guitar work, silky vocals, and a songwriting style that feels full and confident from beginning to end. Right away, we get the feeling that she knows exactly how to build songs that feel immediate while still leaving something with us after they end. The tracks vary in mood and shape, bu

There’s an argument to be made that the heart of any music scene beats loudest in its smallest rooms. Bones of Goliath seem to understand this intuitively. Their new live video, “Blade, Fang, Blood and Claw,” doesn’t try to reimagine what heavy music can be; instead, it insists, sometimes stubbornly, on what it already is: loud and unpolished in all the right ways. The band’s sound is all muscle, pushing forward with a kind of momentum that feels as much about persistence as

A new single from Giselle Villanueva brings out a very robust breed of honesty in the form of a powerful and theatrical ballad that feels impactful, passionately performed, and certainly leaves its mark. This is an artist who knows how to perform. It's outstanding that she's able to give such intense vocal performances on record the way that she does. It makes you want to go see her performing live right in front of your face. This is a powerful track that showcases Giselle's

A new record from Galan Trio is a series of brilliant performances from many composers, all done with violin, piano, and cello. One of my favorite instrumental combinations, and this is an album that completely displays exactly why that is. The album showcases a hefty set of works spanning 21 pieces, delivering elegantly performed textures and aesthetics that all have somewhat unique atmospheres. The first track is a brilliant introduction to the record itself. Christopher Do

Abby Fisher has released a new EP that sort of breaks down the boundaries between contemporary classical and electronic music, with a soiree of digital soundscapes and textures along with lush orchestrations, each delivering a unique approach and mood along with them. The Continuous Interior EP consists of four pieces of music; the first three parts are a segment under the Continuous Interior title, and the first is called "Flickering, Light". This piece is brilliantly elect

A new release from Bonnie Whiting and Eliza Brown delivers a very unique set of works that are based on storytelling in the form of spoken word, along with percussion that gives death to those stories, along with some mood and intensity levels. The record is called Through The Eye(s), and is based on perspectives delivered from women who are incarcerated, and upon this knowledge, you really end up paying attention to those words quite closely. The stories are told in such gre

Madzilla LV has released a video for “Ashes of Light,” and let me tell you, this is the kind of tune that makes you want to crank the volume and tear into the band’s whole catalog. Shot on the road during their South American tour with Living Colour, the video is pure adrenaline: sweaty, chaotic, and dripping with the kind of energy that only comes from a band laying it all on the line. What hits hardest about “Ashes of Light” isn’t just the ferocity of the riffs (though trus
