Some covers are tributes. Others are reinventions. But smush’s take on 'Lawyers in Love' is something stranger, softer, and infinitely more alluring. The Brooklyn duo have never played by the rules of reinterpretation, and this opening gesture of their upcoming covers EP 'standards' feels more like a séance. Where the original walks with sly swagger, smush let the song melt into a haze of reverb, fractured percussion, and guitars that flicker like light bouncing off old film

Some artists write to soothe, others to escape, and then there’s VANNGO, who seems to write because if he doesn’t, the truth might swallow him whole. His new single 'Avenue of Shattered Dreams' is another fearless entry in what’s become one of the most emotionally charged indie runs of the year. What makes this song hit so hard is its refusal to pretend. VANNGO leans into the weary guitar strums, the rasp in his delivery, and the way every line feels like it’s been carried fo

London-based alt-pop artist Lucy Deakin has returned with a vibrant new single titled ‘Sunburn’.

Cavan’s loudest secret is no longer hiding. With their hotly-tipped debut album 'Little White Hair', Muddshovel deliver the kind of debut that doesn’t simply ask for a place in Ireland’s rock lineage; it claws out its own crater, plants a flag, and invites the lightning to strike twice. Muddshovel operate like a three-man demolition crew: Shawn Hicks howls through distortion with a fire-scorched urgency, Garreth Tackney shakes the floorboards with basslines that feel tectonic

Stella Matteoni has always had a talent for turning private chaos into something glossy, wry, and quietly devastating, but 'Red Flags' might be her most disarmingly relatable gut-punch yet. It’s a song that walks into the room with a smile, slips off its shoes, and then casually admits, “I panic when things are going well.” And somehow, you end up dancing to it. Entirely crafted by her from top to bottom, 'Red Flags' feels like reading someone’s diary written in neon ink. The

Andy Smythe has always written with the conviction of someone who believes songs can still change the temperature of a room, and with 'Emergency', he proves he’s entering a new chapter with the fire turned all the way up. This new offering is a flare shot into the sky announcing that Smythe’s forthcoming album 'Quiet Revolution' is shaping up to be anything but quiet. From the opening bars, 'Emergency' bursts forward with a pulse that feels both classic and freshly recharged.

Darcy Harding’s new single 'Old Man Sleepwalking' is the kind of track that sneaks up on you; whimsical on first listen, quietly devastating once its meaning sinks in. It’s a remarkable statement from a London-based storyteller who builds modern myths with acoustic guitar, wry humour, and a painter’s eye for detail. The song follows an elderly man wandering London at night, convinced he’s still the rock idol he once imagined himself to be. He dives into hedges like they’re fe

Anjalts has always thrived in the emotional spaces most artists rush past, such as the in-between hours, the soft dissolves, and the feelings that linger longer than the moment itself. But with 'Summer Is Gone', she leans fully into that gift, delivering a glowing retro-pop reverie that feels like watching the last streaks of warm light disappear behind a cold horizon. Where her earlier work has sometimes pulled heavy with introspection, this new single is feather-light in it

Blues-rock guitarist and songwriter Jonathon “Boogie” Long has released his latest single “Baby, I’m Through,” offering a restrained, emotionally grounded preview of his upcoming album Courage In The Chaos , due March 6 via Myrical Media.

It erupts in cinematic colour, flooding us with the adrenaline and ache of wandering through a city that never quite sleeps.

Building itself up, it soon becomes a canvas of colour, as indie-tinged drums and emphatic guitars fill the airwaves, landing somewhere between alternative and Britpop. Div

Rising alternative artist Silent Child has unveiled ‘Get Well Soon’, the emotional closing track from his newly released EP 'Voices In The Dark'. A poignant and atmospheric anthem, the single sees the Atlanta-raised, LA-based producer and multi-instrumentalist (real name Rodney) at his most vulnerable, delivering a heartfelt message of survival, healing, and hard-earned self-acceptance. Built around shimmering synths, restrained guitar lines, and Silent Child’s signature raw

With “Crash Out”, That Kid J The Don offers a composition that is meticulously structured yet vibrantly alive. The song navigates between intensity and introspection, delivering a portrait of an artist shaped by geography, culture, and personal discipline. Every verse is an exercise in rhythm and rhetoric, underscoring the artist’s skill in melding narrative with performance. The track’s sonic architecture is as thoughtful as its lyricism.

Some records feel like they’ve been quietly gathering sunlight for years, waiting for the right moment to unfurl. Sonnen Blume’s self-titled debut album is exactly that kind of awakening, delivering a collection shaped by a decade of experiments, fragments, and half-forgotten melodies finally coaxed into full colour. The result is a shimmering dream-pop universe that feels both handcrafted and widescreen. From the moment 'Satellite' drifts in with its glistening synth glow, y

Some records feel like they’re documenting a feeling, but 'Rise' feels like it’s documenting a life. LUISA’s new three-track outing draws inspiration from the environments she’s moved through, before exhaling them back as one of the most affecting hybrid works of the year. It’s a project built on places, people, atmospheres, and ruptures woven into a form that refuses to sit comfortably in any one category. The opening piece 'Enchant' arrives like a sunrise that hasn’t fully

Kalpee has never been an artist content to fit inside a tidy stylistic box, but 'Dougla Boi' feels like the moment he breaks the frame entirely. His new EP is a luminous celebration of heritage and heart, fusing island rhythms with global pop sensibilities while digging deeper than ever into the emotional terrain that shaped him. The EP’s six tracks flow like a journey through identity in motion. Here, Kalpee braids history, memory, and instinct into something warm and restor

There’s a particular kind of silence that comes only after staring at a screen too long — the quiet ache behind the eyes, the soft hum of a device that never truly sleeps. Energy Whores’ ‘Electric Friends’ feels born from that moment: the stillness between digital pulses, where connection flickers but doesn’t quite reach the heart. The track opens gently, as though the room itself is waking. Synths drift like pale light filtering through blinds. Electronic drums tap out a slo
