It surly feels like an “Age of Indignation” for us here in the U.S. where a grueling presidential campaign fueled by anger and righteousness is underway. September Girls are from Dublin, Ireland, so they probably had something else in mind. The music is universal, though: shoegazy guitars, sinister organs and[…]
Today, Mayflower Madame released their first full length studio album, “Observed In A Dream”, an intensely rich and atmospherically dark psychedelic beauty of a record. Having grown into a young adult, enjoying dark, new wave bands with a psychedelic vibe like Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission (UK) or Prince of the[…]
What pulls me in immediately on “Mean Something”, the debut EP of Kinder Than Wolves, is singer Paige Coley’s voice: she sings with calm intensity, similar to what makes Suzanne Vega’s songs so unforgettable.

Listen to “Something More Holy” on Apple[…]
Recently, I find myself constantly going back to Eliza Shaddad’s second EP “Run”. I already was fascinated by opener “Wars” with its haunting video and the title track, but the other two songs are equally strong. There is something irresistible about Eliza’s silky vocals over dark, melodic guitar lines and[…]
Following the single releases “Parlance”, “Elder Statesman” and “Truth or Dare” comes now the debut album “A Certain Fractal Light” of Nottingham trio In Isolation. As early fans of the previous singles, we’re especially thrilled to give our readers the opportunity to listen to the album ahead of its release. While this is In[…]
There is something exciting and special and even a bit intimate about debut albums… after all it’s the first time a musician or a band have bundled all their songs onto one record, ready for the world to listen. It’s no different for Dream Fatigue, who recently released their debut[…]
