Alexia Thomas – Lost in Space
A soothing melange of soulful indie rock and dream pop takes you away in Swiss artist Alexia Thomas' new single, Lost in Space. Playful instruments, evocative songwriting, and a sense of melancholic longing make this song a well-rounded and pleasing experience.
Baby Schillaci – Blunt Force Trauma
Welsh group Baby Schillaci wanders the paths of the likes of Fugazi. Blunt Force Trauma, a critical dissection of the USA, is a raw outburst of noise rock and post-punk, refined with sharp spoken word lyrics and an exquisite explosive crescendo.
The Vices – Gold
Fiery, breathless rock with a gritty undertone but stadium attitude—it has become a rare sight. Enter Gold by the Dutch band The Vices, unearthing memories of indie high times while arguing against the notion of constant growth and improvement.
Jesper Munk – Tiny Heart
From blue to black: Jesper Munk was hailed as one of Germany's promising blues upstarts. However, Munk dabbles deeply in The Cure's territory with his latest single, Tiny Heart. A deep bassline somberly promotes darkness.
Soela – Lost In the Fog
Taken from the eclectic album Dark Portrait, Soela's Lost In the Fog features wandering synths accompanied by thumping bass heartbeats. All wrapped in an ethereal atmosphere, the song meanders between ambient electronica and sonic exploration of beauty.
