Who are you on the other side
Are you kinder
Are you patient
Are you glad to be alive

In a world where social media drives constant comparison, the relentless pursuit of an elusive ideal of success exacerbates feelings of inadequacy and the battle to advance. This reality is sharply encapsulated in Shutting Down, the latest single from Los Angeles-based dark electro trio Frontal Boundary.
The track confronts the pervasive fear of never quite measuring up, no matter how hard one tries. It delves into the crushing pressure to excel in every aspect of life—a bar set frustratingly high and often unattainable. Shutting Down speaks to the taxing endeavor of balancing one’s own emotio ..read more

In an era where rapid technological advances and shifting social dynamics often render traditional systems and values obsolete, there’s a strong push to break down and rethink established norms. Berlin’s XTR HUMAN doesn’t just challenge these outdated structures—they burst through these Brutalist concrete walls screaming “OH YEAH!” like the Kool-Aid Man. This isn’t mere rebellion; it’s a deliberate upheaval of the status quo.
Johannes Stabel gives a powerful performance with the raw single Neid (“Envy” in German) off of his latest album, Schrank. His robust vocals, forceful bass, and hard-hitt ..read more

The Santee, California artist, Trit95, doesn’t need the bells and whistles. With an entire catalog created in his bedroom, Tristan Lilyquist perfected the hazy, indie-infused synthpop that feels innocent and pure—like the confessions written in a teenage diary. Trit95 began during the height of the Soundcloud era around 2017 and gained traction to listeners far and wide, “influenced the twee-pop anthem throwbacks made new again by the Tumblr era.”
This fusion of swirling, honey-laden sounds are now assembled into a self-titled compilation release of songs from 2017 to 2021 by Dream Recordings ..read more

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.

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.
The new single and video from Germany’s Caput Medusae, I Wear Black ‘Til I ..read more

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
