David Cloyd’s Cage of Water [Remixes] EP is one of those releases that feels way more intentional than the phrase “remix EP” usually implies. This isn’t a quick add-on, a streaming algorithm appeasement, or a “hey, remember this song?” moment. It’s a proper rethink. A pause. A deep breath. And then a slow, deliberate plunge […]
Gwynn Davies’ new project The Definition of Insanity, A Commodity, A Human Being, arrives with the kind of title that already feels like it’s squinting at the state of the world and asking, “Okay, but are we doing this on purpose?” It’s long, it’s slightly unwieldy, and it immediately tells you that this is not
“Honey” feels like the kind of song you write when you’re cold in every sense of the word and dreaming about warmth. Written during a winter in Seattle, it sounds like someone staring out at endless gray skies while imagining sunlight on skin, heat in the air, and the kind of affection that sticks to
“Honey” Never Feels Like a Collage of Influences; It Feels Personal Read More »
“Change It!” shows up on Boxing Day, which feels kind of perfect, because it’s a song that sounds like it was written by someone who just spent an entire year watching the world fall apart and finally went, “Okay, yeah, no, I’m done being patient.” It’s the latest single from Tom Minor, and it’s doing
21 Grammi feels like stepping inside someone’s mind, unfiltered and alive. The album drifts between memory, desire, chaos, and fragile hope. Every track is a world on its own, but together they trace a thread of vulnerability, urgency, and longing. The album doesn’t guide you gently, it throws you into experiences, emotions, and reflections, leaving

An Exception, released in January 2026 by alternative rock artist I Forget Myself is not the sound of someone trying to keep up with trends. It is the sound of someone circling their own obsessions, refining them, and occasionally setting them on fire just to see what survives. What immediately stands out about An Exception
There’s a certain kind of album that doesn’t try to win you over. It doesn’t do the big, glossy, “look how important I am” thing. It just kind of sits there, awkwardly, like someone in the corner of a party holding a drink and hoping you’ll come talk to them. Perhaps is very much that

With how the music is evolving today, you get to miss the feeling of just enjoying the process of creating music. Nowadays, you have to have a flashy gimmick, have metaphoric lyrics, and all that pizazz, but Ping Machines’ track, ‘From 1 2 another,’ told us otherwise. “From 1 2 another” started with this bassy
Ping Machines’ Track, “From 1 2 Another,” Is All Fuzz and No Gimmick Read More »
There’s a familiar mythology attached to artists who return to music after decades away. The narrative usually demands a comeback story, complete with redemption arcs and triumphant rediscovery. REVERIE … FROM THEN TILL NOW resists that framing. Michellar’s album doesn’t sound like someone scrambling to reclaim lost time; it sounds like the work of someone
“Train to Nowhere” is the sort of song that immediately signals it is not here to be polite. This is not a holiday release meant to soundtrack gift-wrapping or half-remembered family arguments; it is a piece of music that wants to sit you down and quietly ask whether you’re actually okay. Framed as a journey
