Alex Lopez Is ‘Rising Up’

New album out from Alex Lopez titled Rising Up Alex Lopez’s Rising Up is about a lot of things. Sure, it’s about having a good time, but it’s also about never allowing life to break you down, it’s about remaining undefeated even in the darkest of moments.

Travis Atria Impresses With Moonbrain

Travis Atria’s new namesake solo project has produced one of 2021’s best indie releases. It isn’t an unmitigated success, few if any artistic works are, but its flaws are so insignificant when compared to its merits that it is difficult to judge the collection as anything but a resounding triumph. These songs have style for […]

If you follow the music of Jeremy Rice, I have a feeling that his new single “Underneath the Ground” is going to immediately feel more instrumentally shapely than you anticipated.

Eclectic in nature and […]

Daglio Drops “La Puerta Oculta”

Mad science and an urgency to unite the fearlessly chill with an animated sonic vitality few rock artists are utilizing properly in 2021 combine to make one heck of a cinematic treat in the music video for Daglio’s “La Puerta Oculta” this March, and if you haven’t already given it a peek, I’d recommend doing […]

New AV Super Sunshine Is “Super Cool”

Professional level Cosmic bands of fuzzy melodicism and a smoky lead vocal aren’t the only alluring features you’re going to find in the new single “Super Cool” from well-known indie superstar AV Super Sunshine, but instead the two primary points of focus a number of zany features will bounce between. Though not synthesized per-say, there’s […]

Heilung’s “Norupo”

There is perhaps nothing in this world as universally relatable, pure and divine as music, and in the new video for Heilung’s “Norupo,” we’re taken to the foundations of the medium as they came together for northern Europeans hundreds and hundreds of years ago. While not a religious document per say, there’s no getting past […]
