“Live at the George Tavern”: A Reminder That the Most Exciting Thing About Music Is When It’s Happening Right Now

There’s an unspoken rule in the music industry that everyone just sort of accepts: never release live versions of songs that don’t already exist in studio form. You’re supposed to be sensible.

Future Magic and Voxx Use Electronic Sound Not as Armor but as Exposure on Collisions

There’s a particular kind of electronic music that sounds less like it was written and more like it was exorcised. Collisions by Future Magic & Robert Voxx is that kind of record; the kind that doesn’t arrive to make a scene, but to make sense of one. It’s five tracks of emotional detonation disguised as

There’s a Certain Kind of Bravery in Writing a Song Like “Fly Away”

There’s a certain kind of bravery in writing a song like “Fly Away” It’s not the loud, triumphant kind you see in movie montages; it’s quieter, lonelier, and far more honest.

On Pertinax, Suris Are Out Here Writing Songs About Feeling Too Much

There’s something quietly rebellious about an album like Pertinax. Suris, composed of the duo of Lindsey and David Mackie, have decided to make something defiantly sincere.

Epic Scales Feels Refreshingly Tactile; Like It Was Built With Hands, Sweat, and Maybe a Bit of Divine Frustration

There’s something charmingly audacious about an artist calling their project Epic Scales. It’s like naming your first novel Profound Literature; it’s a title that either crashes under its own weight or earns the hell out of it. Luckily for Samuel Yuri, his album does the latter. Across five tracks, this Brazilian composer, guitarist, and DIY

okay(K) Presents: Modest Tyler Is an Experiment in Sincerity

Ollie K’s The Mysterons Is a Time Capsule From the Future

There’s something inherently ambitious about The Mysterons, the kind of album that could only be made by someone who’s spent years living inside both their record collection and their imagination. Devon-based artist Ollie K’s latest project isn’t just a record; it’s an experience, a transmission from a parallel universe where Captain Scarlet, MF DOOM, and
