by Martin Ejlertsen How can you convey a song about a disease? Especially a disease like epilepsy that most people have heard about but probably know very little about. And can I express the feelings and the hopelessness associated with having a child with this disease without it being simply too much for others to listen to? Among other things, it was with these thoughts that I started writing the song Epilepsy. A song that has now become very central to my album The Admirer, which is my most personal album to date. The song was also the first single from the album, and was released on Inte ..read more

by Ezra Meredith of Supplemental Pills On our sophomore full-length album, “No Easy Way Out,” we examine tragedy underneath a bed of pulsating drone-rock following the murder of our bass player Aron Christensen in 2022, inspired by artists like Spacemen 3, The Velvet Underground, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. We do a lot of things: heavy blues, psychedelic, and atmospheric rock. It’s not as psychedelic/jammy as our first record. It’s more dark and brooding. It has some jams in it, but it’s far more focused. Tragically, the biggest story isn’t our sound but the death of Aron Christensen ..read more

by Rey Montano I guess if I had to describe my “story,” the story that at least gets told through my music, it would be a story of adolescence, at least for now. I have lived in Fresno for all of my (admittedly short) life, and I think it can show through my music at times. But I’m always looking for a way to escape. Whether it be the mountains or the beach, make no mistake that I’d rather be anywhere than Fresno from at least July up to September. Our summers are scalding and long. If I can’t do that, though, I still have the long-standing escapist cliche of music. Listen to the album while ..read more

by Vincent Cecchini of Tiki Bar Two years ago, at 17 years old, I would be exposed to crucial elements that would rock my understanding of myself and my place in this world. I was first introduced to Erik, my best friend and co-founder of Tiki Bar, through mutuals at a house party. At that point, we didn’t have many similarities: He was the embodiment of a modern-day hippie, and, unbeknownst to me, I was still searching for a purpose to assign me individuality. Listen to the album while reading the text. In the same month of our introduction, a whirlwind of emotion, philosophy, and faith was ..read more

by Dislocated Flowers Music is where I go when I wish to step out of current time and space. There is no Control mechanism in there playing on my conscious or unconscious mind telling me I must, should or am obliged to be doing something or other. It is my place of Zen or a form of meditation if you prefer. It’s the only place where everything external stops other than the immediate Now and I feel at peace in my own world. I like to put sounds together to see what will happen. Often with words, sometimes not. The way they synthesise is an endless source of enjoyment and wonder to me. I never ..read more

by Wim Lankriet. The debut single of my music project Euphemia Rise is also the story of two collaborations. The first between me and Mel Benedichuk, who provided the extra vocals for this track. And secondly the collaboration with visual artist Itzel Bernal for the official video of the single. Listen to the album sing reading the text. After starting Euphemia Rise in March 2020 “Farewell to Greatness” was the first song I worked on. I wasn’t entirely happy about the second part because I felt it needed polyphonic vocals. So I let the song rest and started looking for a singer to collaborate ..read more

by Dachi Khasaia Universe∞Man was born on earth. It was a happy day; the universe gave him all its power and sent him to the planet called earth. This is his favorite place, his home, where he lives and creates his music and universal stories. Listen to the album while reading the text. He was brought to Georgia by the world in the city of Tbilisi, where he lived for a long time. Universe∞Man first touched music when he was just three years old. He would gladly take a blank cassette or one of the singers’ cassettes and would rewrite his grin at times. Then he would put it on and listen. So it ..read more

by Oliver Scott Draper My short 4 track EP, “2020”, first took form before the year it’s named after before all of this insanity took over. I often think it’s best to leave a song’s meaning up to the interpretation of the listener. But, if there were an outlet to air out my thoughts of my songs, it would be here. So I’ll go through each track in the lineage of which they’re recorded and break them down. Listen to the EP while reading the text. The first song recorded was “Between These Two Ears” and started with writing the chorus, which is the song’s namesake. It initially was supposed to be ..read more
