Ravenistic’s 'Cocktail Hour' is the kind of release grabs late 20th-century guitar-pop by the collar, reapplies the eyeliner, and sends it strutting back onto the dancefloor with something new to say. Across four tightly wound tracks, the Australian songwriter delivers a set that feels lived-in and self-assured. There’s history here, and you can hear that experience in the way these songs are built. Every chorus lands with purpose, and every riff knows exactly when to bite. O

There’s something quietly fearless about h4nn4nh3r0’s latest full-length release. Simply titled 'Love', the nine-track project feels like a handwritten note passed across a table, capturing something vulnerable, unpolished in spirit, and strikingly direct. Emerging from Singapore’s Woodlands district, h4nn4nh3r0 has steadily cultivated a presence built on sincerity rather than spectacle. And with this new body of work, they lean fully into that ethos. It’s minimalism in inten

There’s something undeniably refreshing about an artist who simply loves songwriting; with no gimmicks, no posturing, just melody at the forefront and heart on sleeve. With 'Pole Position', Mick J. Clark delivers a ten-track collection that feels like the work of a seasoned craftsman who knows exactly what he wants to say and how he wants it to land. Released late last year, the album glides confidently across styles, weaving together guitar-driven anthems, smooth groove-lace

There is something profoundly moving about an artist returning to music out of necessity. And on 'REVERIE …FROM THEN TILL NOW', San Francisco's Michellar does exactly that, stepping back into her creative life with grace, perspective, and a storyteller’s heart that feels both seasoned and newly awakened. Raised in a home filled with the gentle harmonies and thoughtful lyricism of classic acoustic troubadours, Michellar absorbed the language of melody early on. You can hear th

Ripsime’s latest move marks a true reclamation for her. By resurfacing key songs from her early catalogue, she reveals the foundations of a creative world that’s now fully coming into focus. These reemerging tracks act like coordinates on a map, showing just how long she’s been quietly building toward this moment of complete artistic self-rule. At the heart of this revival are three strikingly different pieces. 'I’ll Understand' unfolds with fragile tenderness, its bare-boned

There’s something thrilling about a band that refuses to exist in one place at one time, and DAAY lean fully into that disorientation on their latest EP 'Memories of the Future'. This five-track release feels like a transmission from a parallel London where grooves warp, melodies mutate, and reality bends just enough to let something strange and beautiful slip through. At the core of the EP is a fascination with simultaneity, lacing this idea with movement and colour, letting

There’s a quiet confidence that runs through 'Blame It on the Moon', the kind that doesn’t need to announce itself loudly to be felt. Louise Harrison’s latest album is intimate, reflective, and guided by a voice that knows exactly where it’s been and where it wants to go next. Rooted in deep musical understanding yet never weighed down by it, the record moves with a natural elegance. Harrison’s singing is the clear centre of gravity: poised, expressive, and emotionally precis

William Davidoff doesn’t introduce himself so much as he flickers into frame like a distant signal. His debut album 'Join Us' emerges from the shadows of northern Germany with the quiet confidence of an artist who has spent years chiselling his world in private. The result is a body of work that feels lived-in, bruised, and strangely luminous, as if cut from the glow of late-night neon reflecting in puddles after rain. Where many electronic debuts arrive polished to the point

There are releases that wash over you, and then there are releases that pull you under until you realise you’re breathing in a whole new atmosphere. Vacant Shores’ self-titled EP does the latter, offering a glowing, transportive step forward for a Bristol trio who have always known how to craft mood, but here learn how to command it. The expansion of the lineup has done something extraordinary: Suzy Alderton’s voice reshapes the group's horizon. Her presence is woven through

With his latest collection 'PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1', The New Citizen Kane detonates back onto the scene, arms full of colour, chaos, wit, and wild ambition. This is a self-built multiverse where every track feels like a portal and every moment buzzes with the energy of an artist reclaiming his power in real time. Seventeen tracks in Part One alone, and not a single one coasts. Instead, 'PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1' bursts forward like a prism, twisting heartbreak into neon reflections, turn

Ulrich Jannert’s 'Wander Still' feels like finding a handwritten map tucked inside your own pocket, one you didn’t know you were carrying, but somehow recognise immediately. Spanning eighteen tracks and threaded through with warmth, clarity, and emotional candour, the album invites us into a world where self-discovery is slow, deliberate, and meaningful. Jannert has spent years quietly shaping his musical identity, and you can hear that history in every corner of 'Wander Stil

Canadian metal veteran Jasio Kulakowski launches his first solo chapter with an album that refuses to tiptoe into existence. Instead, 'Fantasy' erupts fully formed, drenched in colour, danger, and emotion, announcing a creator unafraid to tear down the walls he once helped build. What immediately stands out is how boldly 'Fantasy' abandons any expectation that a veteran of metal should remain tethered to riffs and rage. Jasio chooses a different frontier. He trades the roar o

With her new album 'Carpe Diem', Dutch-American powerhouse Chellcy Reitsma delivers a bold, genre-bending triumph that bursts with colour, emotion, and unfiltered truth. From the first note, 'Carpe Diem' sweeps you into a whirlwind of bluesy swagger, rootsy grit, and haunting beauty. One moment, she’s leading a defiant march through smoky, rockabilly-tinged rebellion; the next, she’s whispering lullabies of heartbreak and hope that linger in your mind. Every track feels alive

Duane Hoover’s sophomore effort 'Magic Mirror Story Book' is a masterclass in reflective pop that simultaneously honours the past while crafting something entirely contemporary. Following the kinetic energy of his debut album 'Wayward Path', Hoover offers a panoramic exploration of melody, memory, and subtle emotional nuance. Hoover’s signature guitar jangle remains, but here it is married to arrangements that feel expansive and cinematic. The album’s textures are layered wit
