21 Grammi feels like stepping inside someone’s mind, unfiltered and alive. The album drifts between memory, desire, chaos, and fragile hope. Every track is a world on its own, but together they trace a thread of vulnerability, urgency, and longing. The album doesn’t guide you gently, it throws you into experiences, emotions, and reflections, leaving […]

There’s a certain kind of album that doesn’t try to win you over. It doesn’t do the big, glossy, “look how important I am” thing. It just kind of sits there, awkwardly, like someone in the corner of a party holding a drink and hoping you’ll come talk to them. Perhaps is very much that

There’s a familiar mythology attached to artists who return to music after decades away. The narrative usually demands a comeback story, complete with redemption arcs and triumphant rediscovery. REVERIE … FROM THEN TILL NOW resists that framing. Michellar’s album doesn’t sound like someone scrambling to reclaim lost time; it sounds like the work of someone
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
There are two kinds of nostalgia records. One kind treats the past like a museum exhibit: everything behind glass, perfectly preserved, spiritually dead. The other treats it like a toolbox; something you can reach into, grab a sound, and start building something new with it. The Unreasonables belongs firmly in the second camp. This is

WATCHING THE WORLD GO BY is the kind of album that sneaks up on you; not because it’s quiet, but because it’s patient. Jernej Zoran’s seventh full-length record since 2012 doesn’t announce itself as a grand statement so much as it calmly sets up a chair, plugs in a guitar, and waits for you to
In today’s landscape, it’s not just about the skills because we are all skilled enough to create music. It’s now a battle of character and identity, but what if the artist decided to showcase multiple identities just because they can? I’m talking about JeezJesus and his brand new LP, Somewhere Between Love & Misery. Join

I have to be completely honest. Listening to a metal album can be really tiring. Some albums feel like we can just remix each song because they all sound the same, but The Dawn Razor’s latest album, ‘In Sublime Presence’, is, for me, an exception. Join me as I discuss this LP in length and

There’s a rare kind of confidence that comes from building something entirely on your own and Bury The Pines wear that confidence like armor. Their debut full-length, Industry Plant, doesn’t sound like a first record. It sounds like a proof of concept; that a band can throw post-hardcore, progressive rock, math rock, and pure emotional
