EP: Azul Análoga – Crisálida
Gazy atmosphere with near break rhythm sections. What’s not to love?
Charlotte Lacambra
Single: CASTLEBEAT – Stay With Me
New single “stay with me” marks a beautiful ode to their first decade as a band, indulging in all the lush, lo-fi sounds that scenes across the world all craved at some point.
Single: twomoonsaway – Forget
“Recommended for nighttime use” as the band puts it, is excellent advice
Album: Big Weather – Big Weather
Big Weather cuts a path for themselves in bite sized packets of home.
Single: O’Phantom – Dreaming
O’phantom delivers true indie, not through sounding like any of the greats of the last decade, but by allowing itself more legroom
Single: Larlin – Sondheim
Soft-spoken, yet powerful and always rising, the track blends the best of the 2020’s intimate alt-rock wave with nods to some of the best in the genre.
Single: Buff Chiq – Changes
Strong emo influences from the Jersey songwriter invoke the universal feeling of inevitability, be it about leaving or staying.
EP: Clean Fight – Unforgiving Ground
Unforgiving Ground isn’t just the casual listen; take a day to let it inhabit within you.
Single: Sean Gunner Lee – Swimming Laps
Short and sweet, Sean Gunner Lee’s “Swimming Laps” stands out, mostly, for its approach to shoegaze.
