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.

Where her earlier work has sometimes pulled heavy with introspection, this new single is feather-light in it

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.

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.
