EP Review

EGO by Winterblind doesn’t ask for your attention; it demands it, unapologetically and with a solo

Winterblind has decided to drop EGO, an EP that sounds less like an album and more like a midlife crisis being screamed through a distortion pedal, and I mean that in the best way possible. You know when a band doesn’t so much make music as it performs an exorcism of its own self-image? That’s […]

Flora Lin’s “Fauna” Is Beautifully Conceptualized

In a collaboration with Recreational Noise, stories are brought to life through “Fauna”, hidden yet expressed in volumes through symbolism and unforgettable sequences. All tracks in this EP are unique, yet are mere puzzle pieces to the whole picture, the whole journey. Conjoined with rock and intricate arrangements, this is surely a record you wouldn’t

May: 21–26 by Evan de Roeper isn’t here to save you, and it’s not pretending it can

There’s a moment, about thirty seconds into “Howl”, the opening track on Evan de Roeper’s May: 21–26, where you realize you’re not just listening to music; you’re eavesdropping on something intensely private. It’s that soft-spoken, hard-hitting emotional espionage that defines the whole EP. Evan doesn’t so much perform these songs as he disassembles himself in

What makes Time & Space by P-Rawb & Big O stick isn’t just polish; it’s how lived-in it feels

So, here’s the thing about Time & Space: it doesn’t sound like two guys trying to reboot their brand or hop on whatever wave is trending on TikTok this week. No, this sounds like P-Rawb & Big O, who’ve spent the last four years marinating in life’s weirdness, scraping the bottom of their emotional inbox,

Microclimbs by gnomes is Small, Weird, and Painfully Sincere

At first glance, Microclimbs by gnomes looks like another quirky Bandcamp EP; maybe lo-fi, maybe about a cat, something like that. But press play, and it quickly becomes clear: this isn’t a joke. It’s four songs of quiet emotional intensity, wrapped in sincerity so sharp it might nick you. gnomes, a Berlin-based artist with a

Take Saturn Return’s “no strings” At Face Value

We hope your ‘new release’ radar is working, because this EP is both innovative—almost practical, and driven by a force that introduces listeners to an in-depth—almost foreign way of songwriting that’s just begging to be dissected and looked into. Excelling in alchemic, progressive rock is Saturn Return, a musical duo hailing from Denver and New

DYSBANDED is built of Boston music veterans (which honestly explains the quality and artistry pouring in each track), starting with

Morena by Alex Forte demands your attention and earns every second

Alright, so Alex Forte just dropped Morena, and if you thought this was going to be another polite, introspective soul EP that quietly nods at identity and floats away; think again. This thing says something. It’s bold, deeply personal, and unapologetically rooted in Afro-diasporic experience, pulling from both African American and Afro-Brazilian culture like it’s

Experience A New Fusion In “We Are All Bots” by Andrea Pizzo And The Purple Mice

Technology and artificial intelligence is something humans have embraced in day-to-day life. Sometimes, we are very much living and breathing these enhancements, so much so that we forget the raw authenticity life has to offer: the great outdoors, and parting with a screen for more than a few hours. This EP, as you may have
