Raynald Grenier, a composer based in Quebec, has released The Compilation Album, a selection of orchestral pieces pulled from across his catalog. It’s a focused release, with each track reflecting the style Grenier has built over the years—melodic, expressive, and shaped with a strong sense of structure. Before stepping into composition full-time, Grenier worked with…
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,…
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.

Stefano Palmonari doesn’t need a film to tell a story. His album The Inscrutable Judgment of the Aenigmatic Observer does that all on its own. 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…
