Liquid Reality by Anupam Shobhakar is as revelational as it is classical and dystopian–a sound experience that is both archaic and cybernetic. The revelation that he had made to the interpretation of Indian classic music with fretless guitar, I was at once tempted to know how he would expand upon...

There is a certain irresistible power in music that turns a mundane train ride into the epic tale of redemption and Tom Minor captures that power in his “Next Stop Brixton” with the energy and emotional depth that are altogether surprising. This songwriter/singer has created an upbeat indie rock song...

Los Angeles duo Social Gravy are something special indeed, and the EP A Different Kind proves that, and shows why Brad Kohn and Vee Bordukov have deserved their reputation as romantic rockin-rollers with content. The four songs of this release portray their capability to walk the line between commercial and...

Melbourne trio Remit has produced something truly unnerving with their debut album Questions Unanswered and I mean that in the best way possible. This is not music that tries to soothe, it is art that wants you to face the uneasy truths of our divided world. The album was Written...

The new single, Circles, is a strong exploration of the turbulent waters of the unhealthy relationship that demonstrates the further development of the UK artist.

There is something intensely touching about a music that has the audacity to act as both a personal confession as well as a universal experience and New Laconia manages to get that balance so right with their song Journey to the past. It is an experimental project by Ukrainians who...

There is a certain disarming quality about total honesty in music and ESTRADA Music Projects I love when you see through my eyes has none of the pretense in it. It is not a song meant to impress with clever wordplay or a complex arrangement–it is a man speaking to...

I was not ready how emotionally heavy of a song that Cowards and Shadows would be. There is something about how Fiona Amaka takes you through the specific pangs of being ghosted that made me stop everything I was doing and just listen. Being there, we have all been there,...
