The EP's lead single, 'Stone Temple', immediately sets the tone. Waves of reverb-soaked guitars and hazy vocals d

Chloe Star’s ‘Walking On The Sun’ continues her push toward a more unruly, genre-blurring alt-pop identity, one that leans into tension rather than resolution. Built on a foundation of fractured percussion and distorted guitar textures, the track feels deliberately unstable, as if constantly teetering between control and collapse. What gives the single its shape is the way it gradually tightens its grip. Early moments are more restrained, with vocal lines sitting close to the

MAMI UMAMI’s AFTERwork arrives as a tightly wound document of exhaustion, momentum and late-capitalist overstimulation, the kind of EP that feels less “written” than lived through. Shaped over two years of late nights and shifting headspaces, it channels burnout, early adulthood pressure and the uneasy humour of simply trying to keep pace in a world that rarely slows down. Across its runtime, the duo refuse clean genre boundaries. Instead, AFTERwork moves in sharp, instinctiv
