Wabi Sabi
In 1999, just before the great Y2K apocalypse, the seed of Wabi Sabi was planted. Damian Cartier (And His My Newt Orchestra) consisted of a piano, a trombone, and drums. This, of course, was the perfect formula for pop success, and immediately attracted other musicians hungry for the fame and the fortune that such a money making powerhouse would bestow. Soon, the band grew to be as large as 11 pieces adding horns, bass, guitars, percussion, and singers. No matter how large th

Ervin Munir
The song opens with delicate piano tones before Kate's serene yet powerful vocal takes the lead. When Ervin joins for the chorus, the two singers blend in harmony over powerful guitar arrangements and soaring leads that build throughout the track. "Lifeline" is a pop/rock song with less of a story than in his more folky songs. For Ervin, who has released over 20 singles since October 2022, working with Swanson brought a fresh dynamic to his songwriting. The collaboration shin

Vanden Dool - Somebody That Someone Can Love
The dry, suburban prairie landscape of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada is not an immediately obvious candidate for the birthplace of someone in a genre as inherently metropolitan as synth-pop. Nor would you expect the sounds of CHVRCHES, Depeche Mode and M83 to cut through the noise of hard rock, country and heavy metal. Yet, this happened with Ty Vanden Dool, who has left his own personal stamp on the genre for over a decade and taken it with him up to his new home in Calgary. V

A Thrashing Holiday SIngle from Zugar
A lot of times, the holidays can mean different things to different people.

This is a sentiment that is so incredibly relatable that Zugar has spun the concept into a full-fledged, heavy-hitting, metal Christmas banger. "Merry Chriztmaz" not only drives the

Alter Ego Rehab and the New Shape of Americana
Americana is shifting. In recent years, the genre has stretched beyond its acoustic roots and into something more textured—part folk confession, part rock grit, part quiet spiritual searching.

The Michigan-based band, led by singer-songwriter Randy Riddle, isn’t trying to reinvent Americana so much as remind US why it matters. Th
