The #1 blog for music that fits in film, games, & shows. Curating cinematic sounds, soundtracks, and more.
Jon Darc has been circling Berlin’s queer underground for years, staging performances that feel closer to ritual than to concerts. Their background in theater bleeds into every gesture: fashion as armor, lyrics as confession, visuals as extensions of sound. Morast, their new EP, arrives September 12 and pulls all those strands into a concentrated statement…
Kendra Connors has been steadily shaping a body of work that threads personal history into cinematic songwriting. Based in Spokane, she’s four singles deep into what feels less like a string of disconnected tracks and more like a mapped-out narrative. Each one moves along a path from loss toward renewal, and Golden House might be…
Slow Walk’s debut album The Mountain is a self-contained climb. Written and recorded alone in his London home over just two weeks, it takes the shape of a classic concept record: each track a step upward, each layer another shift in the terrain. The blueprint nods to War of the Worlds and Tommy, but the…
Nikita Noebel records under the name Walilamdzi, a project rooted in Berlin but drawn to landscapes that stretch far beyond the city. The music sits in that space between instrumental songwriting and film score: guitar-driven, slow-burning, shaped as much by atmosphere as by melody. Noebel calls each set of songs a “chapter,” small arcs that…
Hilgrove Kenrick and Nick Norton-Smith both come to Sylph with long résumés in film, television, and stage music, but their collaboration moves in a different direction. Kenrick, a composer with credits ranging from 12 Monkeys to classical commissions, has also carved space for solo piano work and ambient explorations. Norton-Smith, a multi-instrumentalist and composer, has…

Gardosi is best known as a slam champion and former Birmingham Poet Laureate, a performer who merges spoken word, beatboxing, and movement into something closer to theater than page poetry. Whitehouse has built a reputation as a songwriter and…
After 15 years without a release, Michael Shouse has returned with Jaded, an instrumental rock record that shows he never stopped thinking about the guitar. The Jackson, Kentucky musician pulls together an unlikely cast of players: Michael Angelo Batio, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Tony MacAlpine, Charlie Zeleny on drums, and James Amhelio Pulli on bass. The…
AUNCE, the project of Anna Edith Daly Edgington, is a London-based artist with roots in Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent. After earning a PhD in Music Production in New Zealand, she returned to the UK to develop a sound that mixes electronics with voice in ways that blur song form and sound art. Her work has appeared…
Lussilia, the Venezuelan-Canadian singer-songwriter now based in Vancouver, has been steadily carving out her space by weaving Latin pop with Venezuelan folk and a mix of global textures. Her songs, often sung across three languages, push for connection across identities. Earlier this year she released her debut EP ten four sixty one, a nod to…

Their music often leans on collaboration, and the new EP Hear It on CN2 continues that approach with contributions from Virginia songwriter Joseph Gearheart and Hollywood vocalist Sugar Parks….
