MARTIN LLOYD HOWARD Selene
Martin Lloyd Howard’s “Selene” opens like the soft lifting of a curtain in a darkened room, revealing not a scene but a mood. The piece unfolds at its own unhurried pace, built on delicacy rather than drama, and immediately sets itself apart by how little it tries to prove. Instead of dazzling with technique, it invites you into a hushed emotional space where every pause feels as meaningful as the notes themselves. The guitar tone is the true narrator here. Played on a vinta

K6R6NZ6N War Against Reality
K6R6NZ6N emerges from Barcelona not as a musician in the traditional sense, but as a force compressing multiple fractured impulses into a single volatile signal. The project doesn’t chase hooks or familiar shapes; it engineers discomfort with clinical intent, shaping chaos with digital exactness. This isn’t about entertainment it’s about collision, about turning sound into a psychological provocation that refuses to let the listener remain passive. War Against Reality , the

FOXY LEOPARD The Call
Emerging from Quebec with a concept that refuses tidy labels, Foxy Leopard feels less like a band and more like a thought experiment given breath. The project lives in a strange, compelling middle zone where human vulnerability meets algorithmic transformation, turning raw emotion into something uncanny yet familiar. Even the name signals its philosophy an invented creature for an invented process and that surreal foundation becomes the lens through which every release shoul

GIUSEPPE CUCÉ 21grammi
Giuseppe Cucé’s 21grammi doesn’t arrive with spectacle; it seeps in, carrying the weight of someone who has taken the long way through their own thoughts. The album unfolds at a measured pace, trusting stillness as much as sound, and that patience becomes its defining feature. From the outset you sense that these tracks weren’t written to impress, but to unburden each phrase shaped by reflection rather than ambition. Throughout the record, Cucé navigates a delicate emotional

LISA JO Lord of the Night
Lisa Jo’s story is inseparable from her music, and “ Lord of the Night ” feels like a turning of that history into architecture rather than autobiography. After years of living in survival mode caring for others, enduring illness, and navigating waves of grief she arrives here not with a cry for help, but with a controlled, nocturnal statement. The track doesn’t announce itself loudly; it opens its doors slowly, letting atmosphere do the speaking. You sense an artist who has

ULRICH JANNERT Two Men by the Harbor
Ulrich Jannert’s “Two Men by the Harbor” drifts in quietly, like a tide you only notice once your feet are already wet. The song opens with a hush of atmosphere rather than a hook, inviting you into a reflective headspace where every note feels like it has been placed with careful hands. It doesn’t rush to impress; instead, it settles into the room, asking for patience before revealing its emotional weight. The track walks a narrow line between genres without leaning too har

SPEAK FOR THE DEAD by Speak for the Dead
From its opening seconds, Speak for the Dead lunges at the listener like a back-alley ambush lean, reckless, and vibrating with street-level hostility. The record doesn’t ease you in; it detonates immediately, making its 31-minute runtime feel like a single prolonged adrenaline surge rather than a collection of separate songs. Every riff is scarred, every drum hit sounds like it’s trying to punch through the speakers, giving the album a grimy physicality you don’t just hear,

BEN RANKIN Save Your Tears
Ben Rankin opens the door to a more inward-facing era with Save Your Tears , a track that feels carved from late-night resolve rather than studio polish. It introduces In Memoriam not with grand declarations but with a measured calm, as if Rankin is standing still while the world rushes past, daring it to slow down. The song traces the outline of quiet rebellion. Instead of lashing out, Rankin dissects the subtle ways people are nudged into borrowed beliefs, then gently r

RUSTY REID "Let's Just Talk"
With Let’s Just Talk, Rusty Reid reappears not as a philosopher but as a storyteller of nerves and glances, tapping into the uneasy electricity of attraction before anything has been decided. It’s a song built around that charged pause where two people are circling each other, unsure whether to leap forward or step back, and Reid seems to relish staying right in that suspended moment. The track announces itself with buoyant guitar chimes riding atop a pulse that refuses to

Cope By SCOTT'S TEES
Scott’s Tees approaches Cope as if slipping a note under a closed door rather than stepping onto a stage. The song unfolds with a hushed sincerity, presenting vulnerability as something observed in passing, not broadcast. There’s an unforced patience in the way the mood settles, as though the track is less interested in spectacle and more in acknowledging the still corners of the mind. The arrangement glides forward with deliberate restraint. Guitars sketch faint outlines i

MICHELLAR Game of Love featuring Rad Datsun
Michellar returns with a song that doesn’t arrive so much as spark, flickering into life with the jittery excitement of two people clocking each other across a crowded terminal. “ Game of Love,” crafted alongside Rad Datsun, feels rooted in serendipity the kind born when creative chemistry outruns planning and it carries that backstory proudly in every restless beat and lifted breath. Rather than leaning fully into throwback comfort or glossy modernism, the track stitches

THE NEW CITIZEN KANE PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1
Psychedelika Pt. 1 arrives like a doorway into a parallel nightlife one where emotion, memory, and rhythm coexist in a single, luminous haze. The New Citizen Kane shapes the record with a curator’s instinct, arranging new material alongside familiar favorites in a way that feels seamless rather than retrospective. The result is a body of work that slips easily between private listening and crowded rooms, reflecting the paradox of nocturnal life: intimate yet vast, solitary ye
