EP Review

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 back with no skip, no filter The Wilcox Demos

If you’ve ever missed the time where people were raised on grit, fuzz, distortion, and rhythm, DYSBANDED is back with The Wilcox Demos, a love letter to days where music goes beyond charts and branding.

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

If you’ve ever stared out a rainy window and thought about your relationship with your dad, Camino by Plàsi is the EP for you

You know how sometimes an artist releases a project that feels less like a traditional music release and more like the kind of thing you’d hear while walking alone in a misty forest, grappling with your sense of self, and suddenly becoming okay with crying about it? That’s Camino. Plàsi (a.k.a. Mikael Bitzarakis), the Greco-Swedish

We Are All Bots by Andrea Pizzo and the Purple Mice is a glimpse of a hyper-tech future

Have you ever wondered what the future holds when the line between what’s human and artificial becomes obscure and there’s no way to know where we’re headed? Will it be like one of those dystopian sci-fi films where technology moves at a relentlessly fast pace until machines and robots take over? Or will everything be

Is “Everything’s Good, Everything’s Fine” by Birds With Arms Just One Big Paradox?

Contrary to popular belief, not everything is good and not everything is fine – at least, that’s what you’d deduce after listening to this EP. Get ready for fast-paced, melancholic tunes that will either make you feel your feelings or pity, if ever nothing about this record is applicable to you. Through colorful riffs and

Amgtask’s Pain In My Heart is not interested in making a quiet entrance; it’s here to hurt your feelings in hi-fi

Some debut projects are subtle, restrained introductions. Others are emotional sucker punches dressed in reverb and 808s. Amgtask’s Pain In My Heart is firmly the latter. It’s not interested in making a quiet entrance; it’s here to hurt your feelings in hi-fi. Emerging from the Eastside of Atlanta, Amgtask operates in that increasingly rare artistic
