Grimm Winter – Grimm Winter
For some weird reason, I pushed aside pop-punk music in the past couple of weeks. It’s not that I got bored by the pop-punk sound, but it seems to me that the pop-punk scene has been quiet for a while. I am positively sure there a lot of brand new recordings out there, but maybe…

Blue Coffee – In And Out
The contemporary music scene offers so many brilliant groups that seek the attention of the broader auditorium, but somehow most of them remain unheard and never gain well-deserved recognition. It seems like this quarantine caused by the pandemic gave a lot of spare time to musicians to finish their recordings, but most of them released…

Amir – Rise, From The Depths, Of A Preliminary State of Youth: A Change Within One In Worlds
We rarely have a chance to stumble upon artists from Beirut. At least that’s the case with me on these pages. It seems like middle eastern artists are not getting enough exposure because of the rapidly growing global music industry. Luckily for all the readers who’re fond of discovering some fresh and unique artists, today…

Aleph Trio – Promenade
There are hordes of immensely creative artists out there that are seeking the attention of the broader auditorium. Creative minds are continuously popping out from every possible direction by demonstrating brilliant ideas realized through tremendous musicianship. The best part about this phenomenon is that the quantity doesn’t exceed quality, so you cannot even choose your…

Blackout Transmission – Sparse Illumination LP (Etxe Records)
There’s something about particular bands that works out best for me during the rainy days. Their music doesn’t need to contain melancholic vibes. Quite the contrary, heavy dosages of reverb, delay, and echo effects over profoundly melodic music are more than enough to keep me moving. Blackout Transmission is one of those bands you’ll instantly…

Послесвечение – До Лучших Времён
Nothing matches the late-night atmosphere caused by an obsessive continuous listening to post-punk music. Somehow this particular genre works for me during the night when I need to calm down and relax from a daily grind. There’s something in calm, cold, bleak, depressive, melancholic melodies that draws my attention and brings me back to this…

Sun Smash Palace – Sun Smash Palace
Sun Smash Palace is one of those bands with an interesting background story. The group comprises musicians from Germany, Brazil, Canada, and South Korea, who altogether lived in Seoul, South Korea, at the time. The passion for music gathered these individuals who also shared a similar interest in music. Each one of them played in…

Mark Schwaber – Everything Around Me LP (Jack London Records)
Mark Schwaber is back with another tremendous full-length material. For those who somehow missed this highly experienced musician, Schwaber is widely known for his studio works with some renowned names such as Lloyd Cole, Shadows Fall, Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr), Fred Maher (Lou Reed), Joan Wasser (Joan as Policewoman), Matthew Sweet, and Mary Lou…

Tom Vevers – Space And Time
I woke up craving some indie music but wasn’t sure what band I would listen to since I wanted some great blend of indie rock and some other genres involved along the way. It’s one of those mornings when you need a specific sort of indie music to keep you motivated during the day. Then…

Moat – Poison Stream LP (Schoolkids Records)
From a personal experience, the best way to begin working week is to start it with some calmy, detailed, atmospheric music. It serves as a perfect soundtrack that will get you smoothly through the hectic working hours, but also as a bit of relaxation after the shifts. Moat is the ideal choice, in my humble…

NOiSiNESS – NOiSiNESS
Today I would like to introduce such an interesting band that I stumbled upon on social media about a month ago. NOiSiNESS is a relatively new group Italian group based in Siena, and they recently released a debut self-titled full-length recording that instantly caught my ear. As far as I am informed, this group started…

Shatten – Shatten LP (Rookie Records)
I never trusted promo sheets. I always felt like the information enclosed in promo sheets spoils a listening experience. What’s good about brand new music if everything is detailly explained in the promo sheet, right? Shatten is one of those groups that escapes all the straightforward cliches, explanations, and classifications into a singular music genre.…
