EP: bloc bloc bloc – inspirational
New wave shimmer and post-punk urgency on “inspirational” feel like dancing through the pain, where groove and melancholy coexist.

Album: parallel – frail
The new album from parallel is hazy, distinctive, melancholic and a resounding success.
Album: The Mad Mile – Legroom
Legroom is crammed full of chugging riffs and elegant motifs, with more light and shade than a Renaissance painting.

There’s a slow-burning production in the verse, but then the chorus becomes like a cathartic experience. With a thrilling soundscape, my brain felt the warm embrace of several great throwback acts from the 90s.
Single: Wealthy Jane – Judy Wept
Ripping emo riffs and gut-wrenching lyrics from this New York band’s debut single may leave you in tears
