So, I listened to an album called The Walrus, the Ninja, and the Gypsy from Sydney, and I’m pretty sure I accidentally unlocked a third eye I wasn’t aware I had. It’s by Black Astronaut Records, which is apparently not a record label but a collective, a consciousness, or possibly just one very determined person

The new song “Little Game” by Kris Kolls is cheeky, charming, and just the right amount of chaotic. It’s the musical equivalent of a slightly toxic situationship you know you shouldn’t be in but can’t help loving anyway. It captures the playfulness of a flirt gone too far, the emotional whiplash of texting someone you
Some songs will make you scream, some will make you spiral down. But with Lemonade, all you have to do is sit with it. No tension, no rush—just enough mood and volume to create space for your candid moments. Lemonade is one of the four tracks from Breakfast, the latest EP of Hong Kong-based indie

So there’s this track. It’s called “I Found a Monster.” It’s by Seth Schaeffer, and listening to it is a bit like being emotionally waterboarded by your inner child. You know, the one who’s still mad you never learned to skateboard and occasionally dreams in grayscale. But, weirdly, in a good way. Like therapy, if
There’s something uniquely chaotic about rebranding your hip-hop duo by putting on color-coded gloves and announcing your creative rebirth like a pro wrestling tag team emerging from an extended nap. And yet, that’s exactly what Normal Saturday; the once-quiet, now-very-much-not-quiet duo of Crumbs and DK 4 Now, have done with their return album TwoHandTouch. Orange

People are used to associating the feeling of love with sunshine, rainbows and glitter and everything bright and positive in the world; however, love isn’t all that, because it’s also mysterious, something people shouldn’t be fully content with. That other side is shown, heard, and felt in “Love Isn’t Always”, a song heavy on ambience

There’s something so eerily haunting when trying to reach out to the dead—it’s the muffled voices, or indistinct sounds that send chills to your spine. Spirit Box does the same. Only this time, Love Ghost isn’t talking about spirits, they speak to the shadows—confronting the depth of emotions. Spirit Box starts off with a soft,

Written and performed with poise, “Infinite Possibilities” is just as dreamy and hopeful as it sounds, but with the intent to actually stand firm and fulfill those dreams. It tells a story about a journey through a high-flowing melody and vocabulary that extends beyond the screen and speakers. Kelsie Kimberlin is an American-Ukrainian singer and

Sun to Rise is a four-track EP by Stephen Foster, and it features songs wherein this isn’t even the kind of music that kicks the door down or even knocks politely. It’s more like the emotional equivalent of mist forming on a window. You’re not sure when it started, you’re not even entirely sure what
