A Unique and Addictive Release from STEVE’S 9TH INCARNATION
A brand-new EP release from Steve's 9th Incarnation has a tendency to hit with some theatrical undertone and orchestrated backbone, as the whole thing has a sort of natural flow to it all, combining elements of Baroque pop, contemporary music, hints of jazz, and singer-songwriter, all rolled into this three-track record that feels like it's bursting with character. The EP is called PERSPLEXTIVES, and the songs serve as a wild testament to songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

Sam Zalta
Sam Zalta is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music pairs a hazy, immersive atmosphere with an instinct for melodies that linger long after the song ends. Pulling from dream pop, shoegaze, indie pop, and the grand melodic traditions of artists like The Beach Boys, Spiritualized, Big Star, and Swans, Zalta builds songs that can feel soothing on the surface even as something stranger and more unsettled moves underneath. That tension carries into his live performance

Lefty Wright
When I was about 5 I was taught the Piano and stayed with that for about 4 yrs until I picked up the Saxophone and then played that for about 4yrs until my High School teacher told me that I couldn’t play in the Concert Band if I didn’t sign up for marching band so I gave it all up and started racing Moto-X and chasing girls and partying until about 10 yrs later in College I decided to play the piano as my own accompaniment for a Singing Class Recital and then I decided to ju

The Muntjax
My name is Tom Bellinger. Born in Oxfordshire in 1986 currently based in Bristol. The Muntjax is the umbrella under which I put all my recorded songs. I write and record in multable genres so The Muntjax is a very big umbrella but I’m hoping to break down genre barriers and create more of a ‘good music is good music’ ethos irrespective of instrumentation, style or feel. Ideally I’d like to write for performing artists or just get as many listens as I can.

Anna May Gets Personal With A Stripped-Down New Single
A beautiful new single from Anna May delivers a very heavy-handed honesty, portrayed with incredibly descriptive lyrics that paint a picture of a situation, and I feel like it's something that feels like it's out of a scene from a movie. The way she gets into detail about feeling lost after being rejected by someone is really amazing, simply because she makes it so straightforward. Her lyrics are semi-lighthearted, simply because she can be so blunt. This is something I reall

MegaDestroyer Gets Restless on “Beneath the Lights”
Colin Moore gave the first version of “Beneath the Lights” a C+. His own song. That’s a useful detail in a business where every new single apparently has to be someone’s finest hour. The MegaDestroyer guitarist and vocalist believed in the writing. The recording hadn’t caught up. Then producer Adam James heard the Omaha band’s earlier single “Parachutes” on Spotify and reached out. Their collaboration took “Beneath the Lights” into electronic pop territory, with Ted Jensen ma

Alan Garmonsway Releases A Blend of Songwriting Styles and Plenty of Sentiment
Alan Garmonsway has a new record out, and this set of songs really manages to deliver a soiree of warm tones backed by elements of rock, folk, contemporary, jazz, and more, all packed into this really sort of expansive and immersive album. I think this is one of those opuses that an artist gives once every decade. I feel like it's a record that gives you pieces of who Alan is as a person, as he tells stories with a wonderful sort of elegance, but also gives you those moments

The New Mourning: Exploring the Band’s Indie Rock Sound and New Single “Again and Again”
The New Mourning is an Austrian indie rock band formed around musician Thomas Pronai, who started the project in 2018 after touring Germany with Pete Astor. That experience helped inspire him to put together a band focused on the kind of direct, guitar-driven rock that feels just as natural in a live setting as it does on record. Since then, the group has developed its own identity, balancing rough-edged rock sounds with melodic songwriting and an understated, atmospheric app

An Impactful And Emotionally Charged Album from Layla Minoui
An album release from Layla Minoui showcases the composer's ability to really build out emotionally bound atmospheres, pushing gorgeous piano work with dynamic balance to deliver the mood and feeling behind each piece. Layla is really amazing at creating something that you almost automatically connect with. I feel like the Journey to Rebirth album speaks volumes for her, simply because she's able to take all these emotions and put them forward with these songs. The performanc

INDVGO Drops An Edgy, Genre-Bending New Single
A fresh release from INDVGO delivers a bit of an edge in terms of its overtone, but it also boasts a lot of character which I think is one of the things you end up really liking the most. The production of this track has an alternative feel to it. It's got a heavy, deep rooted beat that hits pretty hard, but there's also all kinds of synthesizers that are decimated and distorted, giving it that more impactful and grittier feel. This is definitely a track that has spacious und

Casey Abrams Showcases Chops, Character, and A Love for the Craft with #Jazz
An addictive and animated new record from Casey Abrams manages to refresh classic jazz approaches with this almost outlandishly fun style that brings together classic composition with a colorful and very vivacious energy. The #Jazz album combines styles both old and new and features some brilliant takes on the genre, but what really reaches out and grabs you about this whole thing is really the character it involves. Casey seems to really let loose, and in doing so, that pers

A Fresh EP from SUNTRAP Gives off Classic Pop Vibes
An immersive new EP release from SUNTRAP brings out a pretty awesome blend of what I would consider to be classic, vintage, '80s-style new wave and pop, with post-punk, electro, and more. One of the things that really drives this record is the synth work. The synthesizers and keys are really robust and deliver all kinds of instrumental hooks and melodies, which is something I really enjoy because I feel like instrumental hooks are something that have been missing from all kin

A Heartfelt and Classic Single from Split Vision
Split Vision return with their new release, “Out of Nowhere,” a classic-feeling song that brings back the sound of vintage synthesizers while giving those familiar sounds a fresh new spin. The synthesizers give the song a strong retro feel, but the track still feels modern and original. We get a nice sense of nostalgia here without the song feeling stuck in the past. The song has a thick and full sound, with plenty of layers that help build its overall atmosphere. There is a

Packing Release "Just As Bros" And the 'Loves Me' EP
Packing take a much more personal approach with their 2025 single “Just as Bros,” a five-minute track that feels like a reflection on friendship, growing apart, and the complicated emotions that can come with losing someone who was once a huge part of your life. There is something very honest about the way “Just as Bros” approaches its subject. Rather than simply looking back at a friendship with nostalgia, the song deals with the harder parts of that relationship too. There

This is a release that is relentless, and from the production to the rap flows, the entire thing has a sort of intense soundscape to it, but that's what lets it stick with you.

There's something almost invasive about this release. It does ha
