“The Crow” Doesn’t Sound Tentative or Experimental; It Sounds Assured, Like the Work of an Artist Comfortable Inhabiting Emotional Gravity Without Apology

Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends doesn’t just flirt with that lineage; it commits to it fully, leaning into melodrama, loneliness, and old-school romantic despair with […]

“Love Is Everywhere” Lands Exactly as It Should; Gentle, Hopeful, and Quietly Profound

Intercontinen7al has always been less of a band and more of a science experiment that accidentally produced real songs.

In a Musical Landscape Increasingly Dominated by Immediacy and Optimization, Hearty Breakfast, Sensible Dinner Feels Almost Subversive in Its Steadiness

“Sweet Melodies” Isn’t Asking for Closure or Catharsis; It Takes Them

“Sweet Melodies” is ViperSnatch’s first single in over a year, and it crashes through the silence like someone finally losing patience with being polite about their heartbreak.

“Game of Love” Feels Like Michellar Letting Herself Have Fun in Public

There’s a delightful absurdity in how “Game of Love” even exists. On paper, it sounds like the setup for a logistical disaster: Michellar recording in San Francisco, Rad Datsun chiming in from Minneapolis and then just to keep things interesting, the whole thing being fed across the world to a Romanian producer named Marius Alexandru,
