Nervous returns with Tension , a record that delves into new creative territory while staying grounded in the spirit that’s always driven the band. Throughout the record, we weave in unexpected elements like accordion and classical guitar, expanding their palette without losing the emotional core that connects us to indie and alt-rock. These new sounds don’t feel tacked on, but added perfectly alongside the usual staples, creating depth and contrast. The result is a sound tha

If you haven't yet heard the new release from Elles Bailey, then now is the time to jump on board, as the artist recently released a gorgeous record that consists of four songs, all telling stories that feel like they come from her life, and give such a fun and boisterous approach to bringing a new essence to soul, singer-songwriter, and jazz.

A single release from Hail The Ghost manages to pull together such a gorgeous atmosphere while telling a story laced with intrigue, all while this musical mood is set, and it comes together in a way that wraps itself around you and has you swimming through the tones and textures that it puts out.

A beautiful and heartfelt new single from Keltrix delivers an absolutely gorgeous set of textures with violins and strings that give the song a very unique flow and help build the emotional backbone that the whole thing gives off in the first place, along with rhythmically bouncing acoustic guitars, and a very impactful soundscape. "Sharon" is the song that serves as a love letter to the band's original violinist, who they lost to cancer last year. Throughout this song, you c

A new and thrashing metal release from Terror Garden just dropped, and this record runs the gamut of the genre in many ways. You have thrash, melodic, progressive, classic, and so much more all rolled into one, complete with powerhouse riffs and guitar tone, along with vocals that are really spot-on in terms of giving a little bit of grittiness and power, but also these robust melodies that come through. So, the EP is self-titled, and the guys certainly don't waste any time a

A recent EP release from DOMUS brings together elements of post-punk, ambient, electronic, and even some shoegaze in there, all rolled up into one record that, although consistent and confluent, seems to break down certain boundaries in terms of branching off in different directions.

The record is called  Paint , and certainly doesn't waste too much time delivering that neo soul and funk, pop-coated vibe with th

Ryan Edward Kotler’s “Give It a Week” lands as another quiet confirmation of what has been steadily coming into focus throughout 2025. I hear an artist who is no longer introducing himself so much as reinforcing a voice that already knows what it wants to say. The song carries the same open hearted spirit that defined “Mary Anne,” but where that track leaned into memory, this one looks forward with a lighter step. There is a sense of patience built into the writing, an unders

A fresh single from Cr0w4y delivers a vibrant and driving soundscape, laced with Latin undertones, instrumentation, and flavor, and all delivered in this sonically full-bodied and robust approach and aesthetic, giving me the whole thing insanely danceable vibes and deep-pocketed grooves right from the get-go. One of my favorite aspects of "Baila Conmigo" is the way it blends that refreshing Latin underbelly and soundscape with classic tech house, and within all of this, he in

REXEN returns with a very unique and almost ceremonial feeling new single that delves into an almost tribal tonality and with that, gives vast cinematic aesthetics that are both intriguing, slightly haunting, and beautifully executed. "Hoik Up" features an array of instrumentation that really helps it build, thrive in certain elements of intensity, and create this unique soundscape and atmosphere that surrounds you quickly. This is a song that you sort of escaped into. Once y
