Nostlgia plays like a quiet room late in the day. A short piano motif circles at a calm pace, soft enough that the decay of each note becomes part of the music. You can hear the space around the instrument. It was recorded on a small Schimmel upright in a living room, with mutes taking…
Bog Witch’s latest single, Hatter’s Mad Emporium, feels like it stepped right out of an eccentric stage production. It’s got a cabaret pulse, a lopsided grin, and brass lines that strut like they’re halfway between a vaudeville number and a circus parade. The funky trumpet work pops against the song’s psychedelic folk roots, adding a…
This instrumental piece paints a clear picture of place. Right up front you get wind, waves and seabirds – real outdoor sounds that point straight to Drumadoon Point on the Isle of Arran. The piece works like a postcard: you can hear walkers on the shore, gulls and the distant foghorn, and when the plucked…
Version XXVII cut loose with “Tired!” – a furious anthem born in a DIY under-stairs booth and fueled by genuine exhaustion with the world. Kaylee Kean’s songwriting hits like a lightning strike: she opens alongside jagged guitar chords that barrel into Robert Purner’s gut-punch production and guttural vocal swells. When the trumpets kick in, an…
“Spring 2025” is the first track in Max Season’s project Cycles, a musical journal composed as the seasons close. Released on the summer solstice, the piece is a way of gently sealing off the spring before it slips from memory. It isn’t about reacting in the moment, but about looking back once the dust has…
Rasha Jay returns with a new single that steps into a calm, slow-burn mood. “Purple Hours” finds her linking with LA-based producers NONEWLOVERS and guitarist Liza Light, blending laid-back rhythm and melodic phrasing into something quietly magnetic. The idea for the track came after Jay spent time reading old literature. Her focus was on how…
“Pork Fat” comes in hot and doesn’t let up. It’s a locked-in instrumental from Ari Joshua on guitar, Delvon Lamarr on organ, Grant Schroff on drums, and Skerik on saxophone – musicians who’ve played together for years and know how to build a groove from the ground up. Originally part of their live sets across…
Wichita-based artist junni arrives with their debut single “loml,” a deeply intimate track written, produced, and recorded entirely solo. Working from their bedroom with Logic Pro and support from a vocal coach, junni builds a gentle, emotionally direct piece that takes inspiration from Sara Bareilles and channels it into a love song intended for a…
Saqib, Naayaab, and AREUBLUE return with Dhum Dhum Ta, a two-track EP that builds on their previous collaboration Samundar but pushes further into heavier, darker territory. Released on the Beats On Time label, the EP leans into a desi-influenced electronic sound with a distinctive underground energy. The title track hits first with force. The bassline…
With Stay.Theme, Latvian artist GatiS delivers a direct and reflective piece that leans into themes of self-preservation, truth, and staying grounded when faced with outside pressure. It’s a track that doesn’t posture or overcompensate. Instead, it draws from real experience – as the artist notes, moments from his own life – to build something that…
