I’ll be honest: I understand only a bit of Italian; just enough to recognize when someone is talking about love, death, food, or all three simultaneously, which is about 90% of Italian music anyway. And yet 21 Grammi, the new album from Giuseppe Cucè, completely disarmed me. It’s one of those records that bypasses language,

I’m confident to say that almost everything has been done in music already, and the only thing that will make an artist stand out is having contrast and Identity, and because of the bold statement, I’m proud to introduce you to an EP that embodies that specific trait. Join me as I discuss Red Skies

It’s oddly comforting when artists convey the exact same feeling in their music, as if they’ve lived the same life as yours. Scott’s Tees’ “We Move As Fast As Storms Allow” is one of the few cuts that meets you there without drowning in sentimentality. Scott’s Tees is an artist from Edmonton, Canada, drawing influences
It’s such a stand out when an artist uses modern technology intentionally, not as a shortcut but as means to weave their own touch and emotions. Vincent Projects does it so well in his latest EP, Arcade Sunrise. Vincent Projects is a music producer who grew up listening to his grandfather’s vinyl collection from the

There’s something phenomenal and grounded when an artist fully utilizes sound, no lyrics, stripped down to its bare texture and elements. ØRBITA’s debut album “Gravity” fully embodies this process, giving you synthwave that isn’t just about gloss and polish, but with something more reflective and human. ØRBITA is the brainchild of Bali-based independent music producer

On my last deep-dive on Bastion’s Wake, you’ll remember his central argument: that the band’s debut showed a lot of potential. It was a blueprint, a proof-of-concept; the sound of musicians circling the perimeter of something bigger, stranger, and more emotionally ambitious than their own early confidence could fully articulate. Go Tell the Bees, their

Bailey Grey enters the indie arena with Love It All, a 15-track debut that behaves less like an introduction and more like someone finally deciding to live with the lights on. It’s a near-hour of emotional overabundance; the kind of debut that refuses to politely occupy a corner of your listening queue and instead sprawls

Few records leave you with a feeling you can’t name, even when it was never yours in the first place. GISKE’s “The Sound of Birdsong” linger like that, pulling you into a space between midnight and sunrise. It’s quiet but never hollow, melancholic yet never drowning, it’s the sound of folk-pop done right. GISKE is
