‘Chapter Two’- Least We Got Shoes, hitting their stride with an expansive punch
There’s a certain moment every band reaches where raw potential sharpens into something fully realised. And with their new album ‘Chapter Two’, Least We Got Shoes arrive firmly in that space by delivering a record that feels both bigger in scope and more confident in identity. From the outset, the Bradford outfit lean into what they do best: […]
‘Oh Me Oh My’- Danny Django, turning grief into echoing beauty
There’s a raw, unguarded quality to ‘Oh Me Oh My’ that immediately sets it apart, and on this latest release, Danny Django strips everything back to instinct and emotion, delivering one of the most affecting entries in his growing catalogue. Taken from his new album ‘The Peach Orchard Field’, the track carries the weight of something deeply personal. […]
‘Free From You’- Aidan Frenkel, finding strength in the breaking point
There’s a particular kind of honesty that comes from sitting inside something difficult and choosing to speak anyway. And on his new single ‘Free From You’, Aidan Frenkel leans fully into that space by delivering a track that feels like a turning point captured in real time. Where his earlier release ‘No Peace’ introduced a sense of […]
‘Back from The Brink’- Crawford Mack, facing the silence of the divine
There’s something quietly devastating about ‘Back From The Brink’, the new single from Crawford Mack. It slowly draws you into a space where questions hang heavy and answers never quite come. Opening in a hazy, almost disoriented folk palette, the track feels fragile from the outset. His vocal sits low and controlled, allowing the atmosphere to […]
‘Ballin’ Outta Control’- Ajoshd, building up his own world
There’s ambition, and then there’s the kind of vision Ajoshd brings to ‘Ballin’ Outta Control’. Right from the very start, this new offering stands as a fully realised universe that blurs the lines between sport, satire, and self-mythology. Taken from TEJAS, the track already carries a sense of momentum, rooted in Southern identity, but it’s the visual that […]
‘Deep Blue Sky’- Cogley, rebuilding the past into something bigger
There’s a certain obsession that drives artists back into their own work, and on the reimagined ‘Deep Blue Sky’, Paul Cogley (now operating under the name Cogley) does exactly that, turning a once-contained release into something more expansive, more refined, and ultimately more complete. Originally unveiled in 2022, the album already carried a sense of searching and an […]
‘Need You’- 13illy, capturing the push and pull of letting go
There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that lingers, loops, and quietly reshapes your sense of self, and on his newest outing ‘Need You’, 13illy taps into that exact space, delivering a late-night confession that feels as unresolved as the emotions it explores. Built around a delicate guitar motif, the track immediately sets a tone of […]
‘Melancholy Nektar’- Watch Me Die Inside, lingering in the space between comfort and collapse
There’s something deeply unsettling about music that simply shows you the wound. And within Watch Me Die Inside’s wider conceptual world, ‘Melancholy Nektar’ feels like one of its most intimate and quietly disturbing entries. Rather than presenting sorrow as something to overcome, this track leans into its allure. It unfolds slowly, like a descent you’re aware of but no […]
’17’- Hailey Hermida, turning teenage turmoil into a cathartic rock eruption
There’s a particular kind of chaos that comes with being seventeen that feels too big for your body, too loud for your head, and too raw to explain. And on her newest effort ‘17’, LA’s Hailey Hermida delivers a track that feels like a pressure valve finally blowing open. From the first hit, the song […]
