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…
Del Alhelí is not just Inez Leon’s most ambitious EP to date—it’s her most personal. Written during a year she spent living in Mexico, the record documents a period of deep emotional and cultural reconnection. The Mexican-Korean artist, born and raised in Los Angeles, turns that time into five understated but resonant songs that make…

Built entirely by him, from composition to production: this orchestral solo project feels like the soundtrack to a gothic story you haven’t read yet, but somehow already know. There’s something…
There’s something unshakably honest about ALIVE, the seventh full-length album from Toronto’s John Puchiele Ensemble. It doesn’t beg for attention or over-explain itself. Instead, it lets its presence settle in slowly—ambient, orchestral, and deeply personal. The album unfolds like a quiet conversation between strength and vulnerability. Some of the compositions are scored, while others lean…
Zurich-based artist 59 Perlen delivers something raw and unfiltered with Zerfall, a five-track ambient album recorded live in one take at The Synth Club. No edits, no overdubs—just the Soma Lyra-8 running in real time, letting the music unfold naturally. The result is unpredictable and immersive, shifting between hypnotic calm and uneasy tension.

Dardust has always been about pushing limits, and the deluxe edition of Urban Impressionism takes that even further. The album, originally released in November, was already a striking mix of brutalist architecture and impressionist painting turned into music.
