Pieces of you Remnants of a life lived You were real You were not imagined
The Phoenix archetype, representing profound transformation through trials and renewal, resonates powerfully with New Orleans dark duo The Palace of Tears on their sophomore album Veiled Screen, Woven Dream. This mythical bird, perpetually reborn from its ashes, mirrors the band’s own cycle of creative destruction and rebirth.
The duo, composed of Leah Kahn, also known as LV Darkling (vocalist, lyricist), and Erick R Scheid (guitars, electronics, engineering), first crossed paths in Germany in 2018. After meeting at the ..read more

Mount Villa, led by composer Paulo Andruszkow, blends ’80s synthwave, vibrant pop, and cinematic jazz. This combination pulls listeners into a contemplative, almost otherworldly space where music serves as both storytelling and emotional exploration. Their latest track, Glitter, from the upcoming debut album Hour of Glitter, set to release on May 23rd, encapsulates this ethos. The song is alive with energy and emotional depth, reflecting the dynamic ebbs and flows of human existence.
Deep into the human psyche we go with this effervescent song, charting its conflicts and dreams with sharp emot ..read more

Schwarz, schwarz, schwarz sind alle meine Kleider
In environments marked by tedium or a lack of stimulation, one may find themselves resorting to dissociation—a psychological phenomenon characterized by a detachment from the present setting. This response can emerge as a method for coping, providing a mental reprieve from the ennui and mitigating emotional discomfort. Symptoms typically include extensive daydreaming, an acute sense of separation, or a feeling of estrangement from one’s own physical and mental presence.

Floating away on a tidal wave of tears Do my eyes deceive me? Have you begun to disappear?
The Hanged Man tarot card is all about hitting the pause button, surrendering to the moment, and diving deep into introspection. It’s a cosmic signal to hang back and let things unfold, pushing you to flip your viewpoint upside down. This card is a stark reminder that sometimes, you’ve got to make sacrifices to gain deeper insights or to realign your life’s priorities for the long haul.
The symbol of this pause and reflect takes center stage in Dry, the latest from Geneva Jacuzzi. The Los Angeles m ..read more

In 2008, the Russo-Georgian War over South Ossetia led to Russian advances into Georgia, intensifying geopolitical tensions. This conflict resulted in many displacements and some Russians moving to Tbilisi. Despite being Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi faces internal conflicts over its pro-Russian government stance, contrasting with many citizens who oppose Russian influence and advocate for greater national independence and alignment with Western policies. This dynamic fuels ongoing political and social challenges.
Now, UK avant-pop artist Nick Hudson delves into the complex geopolitical landscape ..read more

Janosch Moldau has made a lasting mark on the electronic dance scene with his dreamy, introspective synth-pop style. This unique artist hails from the Vaterland of electronic music, Germany, and has built a loyal fan base over the years thanks to his unique mix of melancholy, which resonates through addictive hooks and melodies. His sound draws comparisons to iconic groups like Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Red Flag, but such comparison can’t quite capture the particular atmosphere woven from his distinctive sound drawn from the aether of a rich creative mindscape.
His latest single, the lovely ..read more

And when we’re sleeping the cash will flow From the millions to the few And it’s so easy to be blind And just say that you don’t know
Milan psych-rock outfit LATO, born from a deep-rooted underground scene, has evolved into a band with a sophisticated and profoundly expressive sound. LATO intertwines vocals, guitar, and bass grooves with hints of electronica while diverse, multicultural elements borrowed here and there and a flair for lush psychedelia and a suave 60s rock foundation coexist harmoniously.
The most recent album released by the band, titled “Karisma,” is a concept album character ..read more

Like a song stuck on repeat, the presence of an ex-lover lingers, invasive and unbidden. Each reappearance stirs old emotions, disrupting any newfound peace. Their shadow flickers across every day, a constant reminder of what was, turning brief encounters into enduring echoes. It’s a cycle of unwanted reconnections, where the past clings tightly, refusing to let go, ensnaring the psyche in a perpetual loop of what could have been – sweetly sung by an angelic voice.
Haunted, by Los Angeles synth duo Covstline, delivers an unyielding portrayal of an ex-lover’s constant reappearance, melded seaml ..read more

“Detachment from ourselves, now what have we become?”
For much of Kontravoid’s existence, the artist’s face has remained a mystery at first glance, though it is not uncommon to see his face make a cameo in a Boy Harsher video or two. Typically, he dons a mask of Greek tragedy—expressionless, a white plaster shroud enveloping the soul. This mask serves both as a shield for detachment and a sanctuary for concealment. Reminiscent of the classic death mask L’Inconnue de la Seine, cast from the face of a young girl who had drowned in France in the 1880s, its serene yet enigmatic frozen feature ..read more

Twilight youth cultivates cries And you never got to say goodbye Screams shake off of concrete Police and thieves get paid across the street And here’s a bullet for your thoughts
Carving out their own distinct path in the thriving and diverse Texas alternative music scene, Don’t Get Lemon stands out as a genre-defying act that captures all the great things pop music used to be in the halcyon days of the new wave era. The band’s intriguing name, Don’t Get Lemon, comes from a playful twist on Cockney rhyming slang for “don’t get smart,” referencing the phrase “lemon tart.” This choice reflects t ..read more
