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

Don't Blink Drops New Music
One Voice by Donât Blink is an album that resists quick categorization, a nine song set that treats style as a moving target rather than a fixed point. Each track occupies its own aesthetic space, yet the record never feels disjointed. Instead, it plays like a series of carefully framed studies in texture and arrangement, where nuance carries as much weight as melody. I found myself drawn to the instrumental details first, the small gestures tucked into the margins that reve

Madzilla LV Confront the Cost of Being Good on âAngel Genocideâ
Heavy music has always been good at expressing rage. What it doesnât always do well is interrogate why that rage exists. With their new single and video âAngel Genocide,â Madzilla LV turns their attention toward a quieter, more unsettling truth: that goodness itself is often punished. Rather than framing anger as rebellion or strength, Angel Genocide looks at vulnerability â the experience of being too generous, too trusting, too willing to help â and how easily those traits

Lana Crow Delivers A Message With "Orwellian Times"
A single from Lana Crow delves into societal approaches of the world we live in and how they can affect each individual person as well as the group as a whole. She digs into the aspect of self-righteousness and how we all turn to screens to get our fix, information, news, and media. The approach speaks of how this is not really good for society as a whole. And she's absolutely right. Now, this is just how I interpreted the song; others may take it a little differently, but fo

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.

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
