EP Review

It is the sound of someone circling their own obsessions, refining them, and occasionally setting them on fire just to see what survives. What immediately stands out about An Exception […]

Holidays aren’t just about carols and back-to-back celebrations. Sometimes, it’s the unfulfilled wishes, grief, unanswered messages, and all the things that make joy feel out of reach. Terrell Journey’s “A Journey Digital Christmas Vol 1” doesn’t mask that reality, giving you a curation that doesn’t force warmth to sit with you through ache and loneliness.

Real Shadows is one of those debut EPs that immediately signals it is not here to fight you for attention. It’s not screaming for playlist placement, it’s not doing the whole “hi this is my face and my lore” thing and it’s definitely not trying to convince you it was assembled by a committee of

Sometimes, you don’t need an over-the-top production, complicated arrangement, and hard-to-swallow lyricism. Sometimes, simple yet raw lyrics are the way to go.

Isn’t it great when artists add their own flair to classic, timeless sounds? Like they’re not trying so hard to be different, but they also don’t settle for some kind of carbon-copy of the past. DownTown Mystic knows how to do it right with the EP “Mystic Highway”. DownTown Mystic is the alter ego of

Red Skies Dawning isn’t afraid to drag their music into the dirt. While others are too comfortable in polish and TikTok-worthy sounds, the band muddies the edges until the gloss and trend is finally gone. With their latest EP “From Ashes”, they open a portal to a world built from survival and wreckage. From Ashes

In the vast majority of music being released on a day-to-day basis, sometimes we tend to be drowned by how songs sound the same. There are times that you have to really dig deep, get out of Spotify just to find that alternative just to clear your musical palette, but worry no more, Otinshh’s latest
