A new record from Galan Trio is a series of brilliant performances from many composers, all done with violin, piano, and cello. One of my favorite instrumental combinations, and this is an album that completely displays exactly why that is. The album showcases a hefty set of works spanning 21 pieces, delivering elegantly performed textures and aesthetics that all have somewhat unique atmospheres. The first track is a brilliant introduction to the record itself. Christopher Do

Abby Fisher has released a new EP that sort of breaks down the boundaries between contemporary classical and electronic music, with a soiree of digital soundscapes and textures along with lush orchestrations, each delivering a unique approach and mood along with them. The Continuous Interior EP consists of four pieces of music; the first three parts are a segment under the Continuous Interior title, and the first is called "Flickering, Light". This piece is brilliantly elect

A new release from Bonnie Whiting and Eliza Brown delivers a very unique set of works that are based on storytelling in the form of spoken word, along with percussion that gives death to those stories, along with some mood and intensity levels. The record is called Through The Eye(s), and is based on perspectives delivered from women who are incarcerated, and upon this knowledge, you really end up paying attention to those words quite closely. The stories are told in such gre

Madzilla LV has released a video for “Ashes of Light,” and let me tell you, this is the kind of tune that makes you want to crank the volume and tear into the band’s whole catalog. Shot on the road during their South American tour with Living Colour, the video is pure adrenaline: sweaty, chaotic, and dripping with the kind of energy that only comes from a band laying it all on the line. What hits hardest about “Ashes of Light” isn’t just the ferocity of the riffs (though trus

It's been quite some time since I've heard a record that seamlessly takes some of the best elements of folk, pop, and contemporary, and puts them together on such a lush and full-bodied feeling record that comes with a sort of breezy feeling overtone and a warmth. Coming across the Out Of Season EP from Faded certainly let me indulge in some diverse but always pop-riddled songwriting, and the record doesn't waste a lot of time with its first and title track. Right from the s

Half Dizzy’s Yard Sale album lands with a rush of energy that feels instantly alive, diving headfirst into a bright and vivacious pop punk sound. From the start, the record leans into massive melodic drive, pairing sharp guitars with punchy rhythms that keep everything moving at a steady, exciting pace. There is a sense that every track is built to connect, pulling listeners in with an urgency that never lets up. What really makes Yard Sale stand out is its ability to deliver

A single from a Sweet Gorilla was recently released, and the single comes through as a bright feeling but expansive pop-rock single that blends in certain cinematic backbones along with vast guitar work to create something that certainly feels like it's got its own atmosphere. This is the track that is infusing certain elements of classic rock, hints of alternative, but keeps things in that sort of electric, sonically bright area so that it feels spirited and positive when yo

Emma Lindquist has been dropping some hints and singles leading up to her album, and it has now arrived, bringing with it a very one-on-one temperament that digs into the artist's psyche a bit, but also exhibits how she can come across with a bit of boldness as she speaks her truths through her music. Hello tiger be my friend is a record that breeds many different styles but seems to always hover around under the pop umbrella, near perfectly. The album displays a lot of wond
