Jánnos Eolou’s Night Beyond is a 13 track album for string orchestra, piano and qanun. It sits squarely in the space between modern film music and Mediterranean chamber writing, built around clear melodies and steady, song length nocturnes. Unwatched Stars lays out the core language. A soft piano arpeggio ticks in the background while low…
Our Bones is the long running project of Hudson Valley musician and producer Benjamin Durland. cash considerations, written and recorded largely solo at The Studio at Old Ridge, gathers a decade of songs into a tight, emotionally heavy rock record. no home opens the album quietly, with soft guitar picking and a close vocal before…
Paris composer and guitarist Pascal Boyer sits in that space between post rock and metal where everything feels big but still personal. His work leans on long builds, slow-burn emotion and a sense of drama that feels closer to European art rock. “Run Away,” taken from his EP safe with us, is one of those…
My Lovely Haunting is the project of Alex and Lucy, a Melbourne duo who treat songs like scenes. The name fits: everything they make seems built for dim rooms and late-night screens, with Lucy’s voice out front and Alex filling in the spaces with film-score detail. They call it “Bladerunner folk,” which sounds like a…
Televised Mind are a Lincoln rock band built around Ste’s songwriting and a taste for loud, sharp guitars rather than polite indie feel. Their records so far have moved between scrappy hooks and heavier moments, and “Word to the Wise” lands firmly on the rowdier side, helped along by production from Billy Lunn of The…

Different singers step in depending on the story. On “They Are Here,” that role belongs to Lacy Saunders,…
Nico Guzzi is one of those Italian multi-hyphenates who never picked a single lane. He has written rock records, instrumental albums, film cues, short stories, and poetry, moving between bands, soundtracks, and competitions with the same restlessness. Her Temptations is him in composer mode, away from guitars and lyrics, writing for piano and orchestra with…
The Higher Desires is the kind of project that treats rock songs like messages in a bottle. Led by Seattle songwriter and producer William Walbaum, the band leans into classic alt rock and garage tones but keeps its focus on people rather than pose. Across their catalog they write about veterans, kids, everyday pressure, the…
Rosemary Schultz came to music late and sideways. The Ohio-born, Nashville-based singer served in the military before she ever wrote a song, picking up a guitar afterwards as a way to sort through what was left in her head. Four years on, that private outlet has turned into a small, growing catalog of indie folk…
Karen Salicath Jamali is a Danish-born, US-based composer-pianist with a long trail of serene solo releases and a clear feel for mood. Her work lives where prayer, lullaby, and étude overlap: simple figures, careful voicings, an ear for how a room blooms around a piano. Angel Trio keeps to that lane and sharpens it. “Angel…
