Dublin singer-songwriter Lex Bucha returns with new single ‘Faithless (Sacrifice)’, serving as the first introduction to a new EP due later this year. Produced by Liam Geddes, the track follows his 2025 debut EP Painless Mode but shifts the perspective of his songwriting. While that release dealt largely with anxiety and family conflict, ‘Faithless (Sacrifice)’ exploresContinue Reading
The Bitter Lemons’ debut album Peel A Little Deeper arrives with the kind of energy that only comes from a band that has spent serious time learning what works in a room full of people. Across twelve tracks, the Birmingham four-piece pull from rockabilly, garage-rock, rhythm & blues and punk, but theContinue Reading
Chapalu’s ‘I Will Find You’ is built around a simple promise, but the song gives that promise enough scale to feel almost mythic. Written by Drogheda songwriter Catherine Thomas and voiced by Virginia Richardson, the track places love against a backdrop of instability, using increasingly dramatic imagery to test howContinue Reading
There’s a gentle sense of resolution at the heart of Son of Jacob’s latest single ‘Livin’’. Written, performed and largely shaped by Montclair-based artist Will Jacobson, the track looks at love, uncertainty and the temptation to live too far ahead of yourself, then quietly chooses the present instead. ‘Livin’’ isContinue Reading
There’s a certain appeal in hearing an artist arrive without pretending to have everything figured out. And ‘My Life Is You’, the first professionally produced single from Swiss singer-songwriter Novo Grey, feels shaped by exactly that openness. Written from memories of a defining relationship, the song looks back on theContinue Reading
gemini summer is the kind of electronic release that gets its strength from what it leaves alone. Across five tracks, iLo Fields avoids overcrowding the music by building from soft layers, long decay and subtle rhythmic movement that allow each piece to unfold at its own pace. Throughout, the South LakeContinue Reading
Oaken Wires’ ‘Parakeets’ takes a small piece of everyday London life and turns it into something far more reflective. Named after the birds that have made themselves at home in Tottenham’s parks, the single uses adaptation as a wider metaphor for relationships, memory and the uneasy feeling of learning howContinue Reading
‘Boundary Light’ sits in the kind of space where genre becomes secondary to atmosphere. Throughout this new release, SATOSHI brings together trip-hop, abstract hip-hop, dark ambient, post-rock and experimental electronics, but the track still works because those elements feel integrated rather than stacked on top of one another. Restrained beatsContinue Reading
TaLLLon’s ‘Go Back Again’ is built around a feeling that becomes more familiar with age: the urge to revisit a time, place or relationship that cannot really be recovered. The Galway four-piece approach that idea with a useful balance of weight and restraint, allowing the song to feel nostalgic withoutContinue Reading
Surface Detail’s ‘This Lantern’ finds the Scottish progressive metal band refining some of the more complex elements of their sound without losing sight of atmosphere or narrative. Built around a 7/8 pulse, the track has an unsettled quality from the outset. The rhythm section keeps the song in constant motion,Continue Reading
