EP Review

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 […]

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

Not gonna lie, The Nghiems don’t really stick to one vibe. They got their own thing going on. It’s like pop and Western music had a baby, and that baby is El Camino. If I was chilling during sunset or driving with the windows down, this EP would be the one I’d play. It’s warm,

But God Fearing Man, the latest from Atlanta-based artist Adam Atom, is just that: a spiritual coming-of-age story disguised as a debut. And miraculously, it works. The premise sounds like

Gord, the new EP from Scarborough singer-songwriter Alex McCulloch, is not optimized for Spotify’s “Sad Indie Girl Crying” playlist or your roommate’s vinyl collection of things they don’t actually listen to. It doesn’t care about algorithmic viability. It’s not chasing sync deals or viral moments. It’s just… here. Quiet. Unassuming. And devastating. This record didn’t

Imagine you’re booting up a game console from 2002, but instead of a startup chime, it screams back at you about boundaries, rage, and self-worth. That’s Game Boy, an EP from YME, which is a project that doesn’t ask if you’re ready. It assumes you’re not, and kicks the door in anyway. Right from the

Finding such complicated yet interesting art is hard nowadays, but here’s an exciting treat for those who dig music that sounds bright and lively but means the exact opposite: “Paradox Room” is a six-part EP that when their true intentions and meanings are revealed, your head is bound to spin round and round.
