A new single from Tod Almond delivers a quite honest approach that centers on relationships where people just don't listen. The song focuses on being in an unbalanced relationship; no matter what that relationship exactly is, you can clearly hear their struggle, and the way Tod articulates those lyrics sends that sentiment through crystal clear. As the song unfolds, you can tell that this came from someplace authentic. It's from life experience in some way, shape, or form, an

The latest album released from Goodnight Sky manages to blend together some of the best elements of alternative rock, desert rock, a bit of stoner, and even doom in its underbelly, along with some experimental and even slightly psychedelic approaches placed and peppered throughout the record's course. The guitar work is absolutely ridiculous throughout this whole thing. Some of the main riffs are really what give this a bit of a desert rock feel, along with the tones of the g

The new single from Staytus reaches into the depths of seduction and paints visual pictures in your head as the song unfolds into a dark-toned, industrial, and heavy rock soundscape, all accompanied by a brilliant form of storytelling that you end up getting wrapped up in. One of my favorite aspects about this single is how gritty it actually gets. At certain points of the song, you have walls of sonic drive that are just crashing down everywhere, creating a massive and boist

A beautifully performed and harshly honest new single from Tyler Ellis has just been released, and it delves into dealing with difficult emotions, past regrets, and plenty more in the form of drinking. The track digs pretty deep and comes through as heavily personal, but that's part of why it works. It's the honesty and truths that he's singing about that really make this rich with character. Drowning your sorrows and regrets in alcohol is a common thing, and I feel like it's

A beautiful new piece of work from Mighty Joe Belson comes through as an emotionally bound and slightly cinematic piece of music that feels inspired by something impactful. The song is a piano piece that has a wonderful way of sending you adrift with it. The soundscape builds a beautifully bountiful atmosphere, performed with a delicate approach for soft soundscapes; this track wraps itself around you quite quickly. It's a piece of music that feels like it came from someplace

If you haven't checked out Sauvageoness yet, now is your chance. The brand-new up coming record brings out heavy-handed, vast soundscapes in the form of a blend of shoegaze, metal, alternative rock, and an almost dream-pop feel that comes together to create something with its own atmosphere, which is very easy to get swallowed up by. It's been a very long time since I've heard such a unique blend of styles and approaches on one record that literally bends genres before your e

If you think you can pin down MegaDestroyer’s sound, think again. The Omaha alt-rock outfit has made a name for itself by dodging genres and expectations—and their latest single “Parachutes” is proof that they’re just getting started. Forget formulas. Frontman Colin Moore says it best: “We play what we feel like, not what we think others want to hear.” That attitude pulses through “Parachutes,” a track that turns pain into energy, blending melodic hooks with raw honesty. The

If ever I've heard a record that crossed over elements of funk, psych-rock, classic rock, Americana, and soul, it would absolutely be the new record from Idiot Grins. It's called Golf Cart Life, and wastes very little time diving into the vintage-sounding soul-riddled, groove-oriented approach with the first track, "Hell No". The track features guitars using classic old-school wah-wah effect pedals, loads of organs just bringing this lushness to everything, and percussion tha

T Staggs just dropped an album that really thrives in terms of delivering massively soulful performances, pop, neo-soul, R&B, and more, just packed into this personality-riddled album. The vocal performance across this Southern Soul Era, Vol 2 record pulls you into the atmosphere it delivers. It is a robust atmosphere, and it beckons everything from classic soul to current R&B, which is why digging into this whole album at once is the only way to go. There are loads of amazin
