So, here’s the situation: MEMENTO MORI, the debut album from Esbjerg-based artist L¥AN, isn’t just an album. It’s the soundtrack to a Psychedelic Horror Book they also wrote. Yes, really. On paper, that sounds pretentious. In practice? It’s surprisingly compelling. Recorded in a small apartment on what sounds like the barest of setups, MEMENTO MORI

Chris Portka has named his record The Album Everyone Wants. Which is a bold move. Most people don’t want any album at all. Most people want, I don’t know, a sandwich, or functioning public transit. But Portka is nothing if not audacious, and it fits: this is the most collaborative, ambitious, and frankly bafflingly sincere
Some albums arrive with a quiet confidence, and some storm into the room, waving their arms, demanding you listen. Jordan’s The Tunnel + The Light somehow does both.

Collaborations in rock often feel like a blind date: sometimes you discover chemistry, sometimes you discover why you should never trust your friends to set you up. “Worth It”, the third time Los Angeles alt-rockers Love Ghost and UK outfit The Skinner Brothers have decided to see each other, thankfully lands in the category of

One of the most striking things about music is it will always leave space for you to find meaning in it. The House Flies lets you dwell on that space with their latest single “Sweet Foxhound”. The House Flies is a US-based Midwest gothic post-punk band. They recently have expanded their band’s lineup and this

Monach’s debut album is a project born from the wreckage of toxic relationships and the long shadow of mental health struggles, the record is an act of catharsis that manages to balance the intimacy of confession with the visceral charge of punk energy. It’s not a fresh-faced “here we are” but a bruised, oddly triumphant
Some producers build beats that feel like a warm backdrop. On his latest single Shadows, Lucas Burn builds beats that feel like a haunted house collapsing around you.
