Rocky Michaels unveils the official music video for ‘Going Going Gone’, the uplifting new single from the California-based Americana songwriter, out now. Serving as the final single from his forthcoming fourth album Heroes, the video brings the song’s themes of release, movement and emotional clarity into sharp visual focus. Mirroring the track’s reflective but liberating tone, the video leans into Americana’s most enduring imagery — open roads, passing light, quiet moments o

Crooner Ed has pulled off something genuinely joyful with 'Amazing, Awful, Ordinary Life'. He’s made a jazz record that feels like a celebration of simply being alive, bruises, belly laughs, and all. This album throws its arms around the ups and downs of modern existence, spinning them across a smoky dancefloor, and invites you to grin along. From the moment his voice glides in, you know you’re in special hands. Ed sings with the kind of lived-in warmth that can’t be faked. I

There’s something quietly astonishing about 'REVERIE ….FROM THEN TILL NOW'. It unfolds like a long-held secret finally spoken aloud. This is an album shaped by patience, by years spent listening to the world rather than shouting over it, and when it finally speaks, it does so with clarity, grace, and emotional depth. Michellar’s songwriting feels lived-in and unguarded, rooted in melody rather than trend. These songs drift between reflection and resolve, carrying the weight o

Ratfink!'s 'When You Were Mine' explodes out of the speakers with the kind of reckless joy that reminds you why DIY pop exists in the first place. This is music that is loud when it wants to be, tender when it needs to be, and completely unconcerned with sanding down its rough edges. From the opening moments of 'Won't Wait Forever', the record crackles with life. Guitars lurch and sparkle, rhythms wobble just enough to feel dangerous, and melodies latch on fast and refuse to

There’s a particular kind of electricity when the city loosens its grip and bodies begin to move without explanation. Luan Luan capture that feeling with dazzling precision on 'Northern Lights', a track that invites you into the night and hands you the keys. From the opening seconds, the song glows with motion. Elastic guitar lines shimmer against smooth rhythmic curves, while bass and drums lock into a pulse that feels alive. It’s a sound that slides effortlessly between sty

There’s something thrilling about an artist choosing softness when they could easily hide behind noise. With Tony Lio’s new single 'Better to Sleep', that choice becomes the entire point, and it lands with disarming force. Built around space, restraint, and emotional precision, 'Better to Sleep' feels like stumbling upon someone’s thoughts mid-sentence, when the guards are down and the lights are low. His voice sits front and centre, carrying the kind of weariness that comes

There’s something irresistibly charged about 'Let’s Just Talk', a song that understands the thrill of hesitation just as much as the rush of action. Rusty Reid & The Unreasonables capture that split second where everything could tip forward, and turn it into a sparkling, nerve-tingling ride. Built on bright guitars and a buoyant pulse, the track glides in with an easy charm before tightening its grip. It feels playful on the surface, but beneath that shimmer is a knot of curi

There’s a particular kind of tension that lives in the space just before a decision, when you’re no longer comfortable staying still, but not yet brave enough to move. On 'Is It Time', KINSALE bottle that feeling with remarkable clarity, delivering a single that feels quietly monumental in its emotional pull. From the first notes, the track settles into a patient, rolling atmosphere, guided by guitars that glow rather than glare. The arrangement unfolds with intention, lettin

There are comeback records, and then there are moments where an artist ruptures the present tense. And 'BRUTE FORCE' does exactly that. Bad Boy Butch Batson resurfaces with a snarling, sweat-soaked statement that feels violently alive, as if it’s been pacing in a locked room for years waiting to be unleashed. The songs arrive bent, buzzing, and gloriously unstable, stitched together from instinct rather than instruction. Guitars scrape and lurch, rhythms wobble like they migh

There’s something magical about a song that’s been years in the making, and “Lady Moon” by Chapters of Forever is exactly that. Originally written in early 2020 by Alex Pazos and Pedro Martínez, the track finally sees the light of day after a five-year journey of distance, growth, and rediscovery. The story behind it is just as compelling as the music itself. Formed in Puebla, Mexico, during their music school days, Alex and Pedro started their collaboration with this very so

Sofi Bonde returns with the kind of confidence that only comes from knowing exactly who you are and what you want to say. Her new record 'A Minute' pulses with momentum, heart, and an undeniable sense of arrival. From the first notes, it’s clear this is a full-bodied statement from an artist in complete command of her voice, her vision, and her emotional range. The album surges with glowing guitar lines and widescreen melodies that feel built for movement. Her rich and expres

Nice Verdes have always sounded like artists in motion, but 'Magic in Minutiae' feels like the moment where all those journeys finally breathe in unison. This new full-length release unfolds with a sense of quiet wonder, transforming everyday moments into something expansive, glowing, and deeply human. Across its twelve pieces, the duo lean into an organic, hand-crafted warmth that feels lived-in rather than polished. String lines weave around each other with ease, voices sta

There’s something quietly magnetic about how 23 Fields writes comfort into motion. 'You’re Alright' moves with a steady confidence, like someone walking beside you rather than pulling you forward. It’s a song built on the simple but radical act of staying when things start to wobble. From the opening moments, the track wraps itself around you with an understated warmth. The arrangement feels grounded and purposeful, driven by a rhythm that keeps pushing gently ahead, even whe

There’s a thrill that comes when an artist stops orbiting their own work and suddenly stands at its centre. This latest chapter from Ripsime feels exactly like that moment. Rather than looking back with caution, she pulls key pieces of her history forward and lets them roar, revealing how essential they’ve always been to the world she’s been shaping in plain sight. 'I’ll Understand' lands with a breathtaking sense of closeness. The song feels handwritten, lived-in, and deeply

There’s a certain kind of debut that chooses to announce itself with gravity. And 'Ground To Dust' is that kind of arrival. VERONICA steps forward, drawing us into a slow-burning, emotionally charged space where strength and exposure exist side by side. At the centre of the track is a voice that knows exactly when to lean in and when to pull back. VERONICA sings with a controlled intensity that feels both intimate and expansive, carrying a sense of lived-in emotion rather tha

There’s something quietly radical about the way Kele Fleming revisits 'This is Not Religious'. Rather than treating it as a relic, she lets it breathe in the present tense, reviving a song born decades ago that now arrives with renewed force, urgency, and resolve. What once felt like a private reckoning now stands tall as a collective rallying cry. At its core, the track unfolds like a personal notebook cracked open, thoughts tumbling freely without polish or restraint. Her v

Julie Paschke’s latest single 'Cold In Your Town' is a song that thrills in its restraint. This is the sound of an artist completely at ease with ambiguity, letting feeling spill out naturally rather than shaping it into something neat or presentable. There’s an electricity in that choice. From the very first moments, the track feels alive, intimate, and strangely addictive. Her voice is captivating in its understatement. There’s something magnetic about the way she delivers

There’s a hushed confidence to 'Pretty Boy Lipstick' that pulls you closer rather than demanding attention. Leti lets it arrive slowly, like a thought you didn’t realise you were already having. Built around restraint rather than spectacle, the track feels like a private moment caught on tape. Leti’s voice sits close to our ear, carrying a gentle emotional weight that never tips into melodrama. Switching effortlessly between languages, she creates a fluid inner dialogue, conj

There’s something thrilling about watching an artist abandon the ground beneath their feet and fully commit to the void. With 'Lost in Space', Mortal Prophets disappear into the stars, returning with a collection that hums, glows, and aches in equal measure. This release feels like a deliberate transmission rather than a casual drop. John Beckmann’s project has always carried a cinematic instinct, but here it’s sharpened into something sleek and electric. These seven pieces d

There’s something instantly gripping about the way Scott’s Tees transforms stillness into momentum on 'Cope'. This is the sound of an artist leaning fully into solitude and coming back with something vivid, alive, and emotionally electric. What begins in hushed reflection quickly opens into a glowing, immersive experience that feels tailor-made for long nights and wide-open thoughts. The track moves with confidence, letting its verses breathe before surging into a chorus that

On their newest EP 'Memories Of The Future', London outfit DAAY sound like they’ve ripped open a wormhole and decided to throw pop instinct, cosmic curiosity, and sheer nerve straight through it. The result is a five-track rush that feels alive, mischievous, and constantly in motion, as if the songs themselves are discovering what they are in real time. From the first moments of opener 'Guru Deva', this EP crackles with possibility. Led by the endlessly inventive Alex Barty-K

Reinvention can be risky, but when it works, it feels electric. On 'EP1', Eva Pagán throws the door wide open on a new chapter and lets her whole world spill into the room. This debut collection under her chosen name is bold, intimate, and alive with movement, tracing the emotional geography of distance, belonging, and self-definition through sleek electro-pop contours. These songs pulse with duality. Languages intertwine effortlessly as a lived reality, with voices overlappi

Some songs have been known to slip inside quietly and rearrange the room. And 'Good Luck' does exactly that. It arrives with a hushed confidence, drawing you into a space where beauty and unease coexist, and where every sound feels deliberate, weighted, and emotionally charged. FJELIZI has an instinct for tension, the slow, psychological kind that coils beneath the surface. On this track, her voice floats close enough to feel almost intrusive, as if she’s confiding something

Some records flirt with big ideas. But 'In the Shadow of Time' stares them down and refuses to blink. This second full-length from Shyfrin Alliance is a daring, high-concept blues-rock odyssey that treats chronology as an active force tom deliver something oppressive, healing, cyclical, and deeply human all at once. Rather than circling familiar emotional terrain, Eduard Shyfrin builds an entire album around humanity’s strangest obsession: the invisible mechanism that governs

Some songs feel like a breath. 'Sleepy Fields' feels like a deep exhale you didn’t realise you were holding. Powers of the Monk step fully into their gift for atmosphere here, delivering a piece that opens, stretches, and gently lifts you off the ground. From the first few seconds, there’s an immediate sense of release. The guitars float rather than strum, unfolding in long, graceful arcs, while keys flicker at the edges like sunlight caught in tall grass. Everything feels su

With their first full-length release, Crabs & Feathers unveil a body of work that shifts, inhales, pauses, then surges forward again. Built entirely without words, the record speaks fluently anyway, telling stories through motion, texture, and an almost telepathic dialogue between strings and horn. Right from the off, 'Rarefaction' establishes its defining tension. Claudio Niniano’s guitar lines drift between delicacy and resolve, while Jonathan Norani’s saxophone responds li

Some songs arrive like a quiet companion. But 'Electric Blue' kicks the door open, flicks on the lights, and insists you keep moving. AKA Primetime’s latest release is a shot of colour straight to the bloodstream, an alt-pop rush that feels purpose-built for the long, grey stretch when momentum is hard to come by and joy takes real effort. From the outset, 'Electric Blue' hums with forward motion. The bassline snaps and struts, guitars shimmer with late-night electricity, and

Rellyo Bambini's latest outing 'Cloned & Upgraded, Insert Soul Here (Rebirth Edition)' arrives like a cracked hard drive humming with feeling, a hypercharged collision of future-facing sound and raw human impulse. It’s bold, restless, and thrillingly alive, the kind of album that feels like it’s daring you to keep up. From the outset, Bambini builds an environment rather than a playlist. The music surges with synthetic menace and psychedelic glow, stitched together by lyrics

With Hypnotica, Almost Alive isn’t just pushing rock forward — it’s reframing the genre entirely. And if ‘Eclipse Within’ is any indication, this is only the beginning of a far more ambitious sonic evolution. FOLLOW: X/TWITTER  | WEBSITE  | FACEBOOK  | YOUTUBE  | SPOTIFY   Almost Alive has always thrived in the tension between instinct and innovation, but with the arrival of Hypnotica and its anchoring single ‘Eclipse Within’ , the New Jersey project steps into its most conf

Some songs ask politely to be heard. While 'Big Steps' plants its boots on the ground and dares you not to move. With this new release, The Zaramutas sharpen their already formidable presence into something urgent, physical, and impossible to ignore. It’s the sound of forward motion made loud. From the opening seconds, the track pulses with a coiled intensity. A hulking bass line locks in with pounding percussion, creating a sense of pressure that feels like it’s building ben

There’s a special kind of magic when an artist returns with pure clarity. On her latest single 'Albert Street', Sophie Penman steps back into the frame with a song that feels like a deep, steady breath after a long journey away. This track unfolds gently, guided by Penman’s instinct for restraint and emotional precision. Rather than chasing grandeur, she lets the song wander unhurried, observant, and rich with feeling. You can sense the act of walking here: footsteps syncing

Hamburg duo counterglow arrive with echoes of self sounding like they’ve stepped straight out of a neon-lit reverie and onto centre stage. It’s a debut soaked in dreamy synth haze and indie-soul warmth, but there’s a sharpness beneath the glow that gives the whole thing a quiet confidence. Lauren Goodley’s voice feels almost vaporous, drifting through Jonas Grell’s widescreen production with the poise of someone who knows exactly how much space to take up—and when to pull ba

K3RPAT has always operated in that sweet spot where nostalgia brushes up against the future, and ‘Is It A Yes Is It A No’ captures that balance better than ever. Instead of leaning purely on the glossy bravado of EDM or the chic cool of French house, the French producer threads the two together, creating a track that feels alive, intuitive, and surprisingly emotional. From the opening bars, there’s a sense of movement - not just rhythm, but motion. Layered synths glide like h

ÆTHR’s official music video for Santa Maria emerges not merely as promotional content, but as a vision statement : a deliberate, cinematic claustrophobia married to gothic surrealism that feels audaciously ambitious for an independent release. From the first frame, the video telegraphs tension — a world that is half ritual, half fever dream — and commits fully to its own visual rules, offering a rare example of how a music video can expand a song’s narrative into something c

Some songs arrive like a lightning bolt. And Dwayna Litz’s 'My Mind’s On You' is exactly that kind of lovestruck confession born in the stillness of early morning hours and shaped into a track that refuses to sit inside any single genre. Litz’s voice carries the kind of emotional honesty that can only come from someone raised on expressive gospel storytelling. There’s tenderness, yes, but also a striking clarity as she sings about a love that refuses to fade. Rather than port

There’s something magical about a family band whose harmonies breathe together. With their newest outing 'Keeping the Dream Alive', The Marsh Family offer their most moving release yet, transforming an 80s orchestral staple into a glowing, heartfelt tribute that feels tailor-made for winter evenings and quiet acts of hope. The track opens with just soft guitar and the younger Marsh voices carrying the melody with an innocence that instantly reorients the song’s emotional core

Erro erupts back onto the scene with 'Shadowland', an album that feels like a creative ignition point. If her debut 'Strawberry Moon' hinted at potential, 'Shadowland' is the radiant, full-force breakthrough, absolutely bursting with intention. This is Erro leveling up in real time. From the first moments of its vibrant title-track, you can feel the evolution. The warmth and nostalgia that defined her debut are still there, but now they’ve been supercharged. These songs hit h

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

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

Flat Moon have burst through the door, flipped the table, and started a full-blown dance riot with their debut album 'Cookin’ Up a Groove'. This record is an adrenaline shot of pure creativity, a kaleidoscopic collision of styles that feels like a festival happening inside your very skull. It’s chaotic, charismatic, completely unhinged, and it’s glorious. From the first seconds of its standout 'A Moon's Bouche', you can feel why this six-piece have earned a cult following for

Every once in a while, a debut arrives that feels like a skyline suddenly blazing into light. And William Davidoff’s first full-length 'Join Us' does exactly that. It erupts in cinematic colour, flooding us with the adrenaline and ache of wandering through a city that never quite sleeps. Davidoff may come from the quieter edges of northern Germany, but his sound hits with the atmospheric punch of a producer who has spent years absorbing the heartbeat of European nightlife. Th

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

Swiss auteur Moon Construction Kit returns with 'Chemicals', a track that hits like a stormcloud cracking open above a neon-lit skyline. It’s an alt-pop surge where emotional overload collides head-on with the seductive temptation of shutting everything off. From the first pulse, 'Chemicals' feels like standing inside a whirlwind engineered with unsettling precision. The guitars snarl with a serrated edge; the synths swell like shadows gaining mass; the drums march forward wi
