Joel Veena (Joel Eisenkramer), a Vermont-based slide guitarist steeped in the Hindustani tradition, returns with Cardinal, an eight-track collection that pulls from deep traditions and newer collaborations. Eisenkramer has built his career around the 20-string Indian slide guitar, and with Cardinal, he moves with quiet assurance – tracking ideas that matter to him, in a…
Boston’s own Munk Duane caps off his five‑year Munk Duane era with “Falsify,” a song built on a snarling guitar riff that makes its point right away. As that riff gives way to a swelling synth modulation – think future bass textures – the track flips back into a punchy, rock‑tinged pop groove. It’s a…
Golem Dance Cult’s latest offering, “Call of the Wendigo,” steps out of their new album Shamanic Faultlines and into the shadows. The track opens with a low, rumbling riff that feels like distant thunder, then shatters into gritty guitars draped in reverb. Vocal lines slide through the mix with a wet, haunted quality – part…
Svarp The Harp isn’t putting on a show – and that’s exactly what makes Irjentwat is’ immer work. This German track, with its mix of country twang and funky guitar, feels more like a cheerful shrug at life than a polished pop single. It’s loose, it’s catchy, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously –…
E.G. Phillips returns with Tricks of the Light, a six-track EP that leans further into orchestral arrangements and cinematic detail than anything he’s done before. Known for his eccentric mix of jazz, folk, and wit-heavy songwriting, Phillips steps into more classical territory here without losing the humor or intellect that has always set him apart….
Rëa’s first official release, “Living Without You,” doesn’t play it safe — it leans straight into emotion and contrast. Known for blending dark pop, rock, and cinematic moods, the queer artist brings all of that into focus on this track, pulling listeners into a space where power and vulnerability sit side by side. The song…
Leyla Romanova is a composer who creates music across genres—ranging from orchestral, chamber, and neoclassical piano pieces to trance and techno. Her work blurs the line between classical structure and electronic energy. With her latest release, she dives headfirst into the digital abyss. The One Uncoded doesn’t sit quietly. It moves with purpose, driven by…
Tess Posner’s new single The Flood arrives with impact. It opens on delicate, harp-like plucks and a brief string phrase before a surge of cinematic drums and pulsing bass flips the switch. From there, the track only grows – more intense, more layered, more urgent. The vocal is front and center – huge, emotional, and…
GLADIUS, the multi-platinum producer and composer behind 2024’s cinematic Planet Horizon project – and the hit song “Miroh” by K-pop giants Stray Kids – just dropped a serious curveball. Known for his orchestral-meets-electronic sound with credits spanning Daft Punk, Iggy Azalea, Avicii, and Rita Ora, he’s now entered new territory with UNBREAKABLE, premiered by Don…
Kirsten Agresta Copely has released her new single “Kuruvinda,” and it is unlike anything else in her catalog. While her previous work leaned toward serene beauty, this track embraces contrast. The title, taken from the Sanskrit word for an imperfect ruby, is fitting. This piece doesn’t shine with flawless sparkle. It moves with intent, weight,…
