Cork outfit Flywheel first emerged in the 90s, releasing their debut album She in 1996 before stepping away for an extended period. Now, after reforming during the pandemic years, they return with ‘CryBaby’, a single that feels like a sharpening of everything that made their early work so compelling in the firstContinue Reading
There’s something quietly subversive about the way K Abby Jasper approaches ‘Separate the Sage’. Instead of meeting stress, uncertainty and modern overload with outright anger, Joey Fasolino filters them through something more elusive that is part indie folk confession, part ambient experiment, and part private ritual. The title-track from hisContinue Reading
There’s a quiet ache running through ‘Glas und Steine’. Here, Witte approach heartbreak as something slower and more difficult to name; capturing the gradual recognition that a relationship is changing while part of you still hopes it can be repaired. The northern German duo, formed by producer Marvin Burfeind andContinue Reading
There’s a hard-earned weariness running through ‘The Coast’. Podge Lane has spent much of the last year in motion, playing extensively across the United States before returning to Ireland, and his latest single sounds shaped by that same tension between leaving, returning and wondering whether either place still feels entirelyContinue Reading
It would have been easy for Leo Sawikin to write something straightforward with a title like ‘Burning Love’. A huge chorus. A declaration. Perhaps a little heartbreak around the edges. Instead, he gives us wolves. He gives us sparrows crying into the night, distant constellations, strangled flowers, vast oceans and figuresContinue Reading

The song was prompted by a TikTok clip showing a disagreement with a pallet delivery driver atContinue Reading
There’s something fitting about a song called ‘Shortcuts’ taking years to find its final form. GOODTWIN’s new single began as a bedroom-written idea Augusta “Gus” Alexander once considered too slight to pursue. But instead of forcing it into shape, she left it alone. When the song eventually resurfaced, collaboration gaveContinue Reading
There’s a contradiction at the centre of ‘with soul’ that gives the track much of its appeal. Music disappears the moment it’s played, yet somehow manages to survive long after the people who made it are gone. Toronto artist torched porsche takes that tension and turns it into a sleek,Continue Reading
Nrvs have little interest in separating music from the world that produces it. And on their newest release ‘The Tanks Are Coming Out’, the band take contemporary political anxiety, personal conflict and the creeping normalisation of violence and fold them into a track that feels deliberately uncomfortable. Written while membersContinue Reading
There’s something fitting about Disco Dreams choosing a title like ‘OutLands’ for the first glimpse of his second album. His music has always carried an interest in escape, atmosphere and the strange emotional spaces that electronic music can create, and this latest single feels positioned as an invitation into anotherContinue Reading
