I have to be completely honest. Listening to a metal album can be really tiring. Some albums feel like we can just remix each song because they all sound the same, but The Dawn Razor’s latest album, ‘In Sublime Presence’, is, for me, an exception. Join me as I discuss this LP in length and […]

A song knows exactly what you feel when it sits right between a collapse or a dance. Today, that song is Moon Construction Kit’s “Chemicals”, and it’s the kind that stirs whatever’s left of your emotional stability with a hook you can’t help but move to. Moon Construction Kit is the brainchild of Lausanne multi-instrumentalist/producer

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. Let me introduce Destiny Imani and her latest EP, ‘Wishful Thinking.’ The EP started with ‘Love Again.’ The keyboard lick alongside the keyboard string effect created this gloomy yet airy feel to the

There’s a rare kind of confidence that comes from building something entirely on your own and Bury The Pines wear that confidence like armor. Their debut full-length, Industry Plant, doesn’t sound like a first record. It sounds like a proof of concept; that a band can throw post-hardcore, progressive rock, math rock, and pure emotional
With recent album ‘Pertinax’, Suris, composed of Lindsey and David Mackiemade a record that was almost embarrassingly earnest. It didn’t wink at you. It didn’t sound like it was written by a committee trying to forecast next week’s Spotify trend. It just existed, lush and vulnerable, the sound of two people who actually cared. The

Andrew Savage’s Patchwork is the kind of debut album that sounds like it was recorded by three people who wandered into a studio, shrugged collectively, and said, “Yeah, that seems in tune enough.” And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. It’s unpolished, a little wobbly, very human and brilliant. This is an
Let me start this review with a question. How can you measure success in a song? We can argue back and forth on this topic, but instead, let me introduce Helgar’s latest track, ‘ABSURD’, and why it’s a track worth listening to. The track started with this single note chord progression that perfectly sets the

Mr. Jamie’s cataloge 1 is the kind of debut EP that feels like someone broke into alternative rock’s house, rummaged through all its drawers, stole whatever sounded cool, and then somehow made it all work. In case you wonder though, “catalogue 1” is only a placeholder title because Mr. Jaime’s still in the kitchen trying

As a musician myself, there is always a case to be made when it comes to understanding music theory and how to use it effectively. Highroad No. 28’s latest track, ‘Thistroubledsoul’ is a prime example of how to use notes effectively and correctly. The song started with a mix of gloomy and easy feeling that

There’s a particular kind of indie project that feels less like an album and more like someone documenting their nervous system in real time. …Sacrifice, Jay2n’s self-written, self-produced hip hop experiment, fits squarely into that category, but in the best way. It doesn’t swagger or posture or dress itself up as something hyper-polished. Instead, it
