The Hong Kong-based group Sakura Fukubi has released “Carpe Diem,” a track that draws from Japanese tradition and spring symbolism to create something soft, meaningful, and reflective. The title may echo a well-known Latin phrase, but the music’s heart beats in Japanese time. Built around the imagery of cherry blossoms and the fleeting nature of…
Norwegian-French duo Tic Tic reenters the scene with “While the Shadows Grow”, their latest single and the first preview of their upcoming second album. Known for balancing eerie synth tension with organic elements, this track leans into a new tonal direction: still somber, but with sharper edges and more physical textures. “While the Shadows Grow”…
DBsock doesn’t make passive music. Her debut EP, The Journey, plays like a surreal myth carved into five distinct movements. Each track is a chapter in a transformation story—an outsider goddess navigating the struggle between divinity and humanity, falling to rise, and using sound as both a map and a mirror. It’s full of tension,…
OHNomad’s new piece, “Universal Connection – Junko,” does something most compositions don’t even try to: it tells a personal story without saying a single word. The trio for flute, cello, and piano feels more like a letter to someone than a performance for an audience. That someone, in this case, is Junko—a Japanese elder and…
With “A Meravilha,” Italian composer and guitarist Luca “Ninni” Caligiuri returns to his roots—leaning into his deep connection with instrumental storytelling while exploring the emotional weight of simplicity. The track is built around Ninni’s classical guitar, and that’s where its strength lies. There’s no need for anything else to speak. Every note feels intentional, yet…
Rebecca Anderson’s new single “Lay It All Down” continues her streak of introspective, emotionally grounded songwriting. While her previous release “In the Beginning” focused on spiritual identity, this one zooms in on the internal messiness of trying to control too much, and the quiet power that can come from letting go. What makes “Lay It…
“Phases” is the kind of debut that doesn’t aim for loud fireworks, it just lands, solid and raw. The track is led by Lenny Jennings’ guitar, which feels more like a lead character than a supporting instrument. There’s tension in the way he plays, not in the technicality, but in the way each note seems…
With “My Dreams,” mezzo-soprano ARMINÉ steps into a cinematic sound that feels both intensely personal and theatrically grand. The song begins with a sparse piano motif, delicate and icy, soon enveloped by a swelling low end that adds weight without distraction. Her voice, expressive and stately, enters like a presence through fog. It’s not a…
The Turnaround’s new self‑titled EP is a warm, globe‑trotting collection of six songs built around Daniel de Boer’s intimate bass and vocals. From Texel to Berlin, each track spotlights musicians from across the world, and their different roots seep into the arrangements without ever feeling forced. Opening cut “Keep You Close” pairs a gentle bassline…
Brooklyn’s Ivy League channel raw emotion into tight, hook‑driven rock on American Love. The album pulses with gritty guitar riffs and frank lyrics, capturing the tension of a love that’s frayed beyond repair. Rather than dwell on heartbreak’s minutiae, the band zeroes in on moments of rupture—snarling choruses that crackle with anger, quieter verses tinged…
