Hello London – The Changing Tide LP
There is something unassuming about The Changing Tide, the new full-length album by Hello London. At first listen, it might seem like a straightforward indie rock record, but stay with it.

Paradoxant – Deux
Deux, the second album by Brussels-based Paradoxant, arrives as an ear-appealing burst of warm static from a different frequency, jarring, inviting, cerebral, and deeply handled. It is avant-pop with a soul, experimental pop with a conscience, and electronic indie with heartbeats inside the circuits. Paradoxant is the creative vessel of Antoine Meersseman, a multi-instrumentalist whose…

Dez Dare – CHERYL! Your Love Shines Down Like A Supernova’s Death LP
Dez Dare‘s fifth full-lenght album, CHERYL! Your Love Shines Down Like A Supernova’s Death, is a daring, dynamic, and strangely beautiful eruption of sound and satire.

Dez Dare – A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin. LP
Dez Dare’s fourth album, A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin., is a jagged, wild, and glorious beast. It growls and shouts, but it also speaks clearly.

Max & Intro – Return To The Future 1984–1994 LP (Discom, PGP-RTS)

That is exactly what happened with Return to the Future 1984–1994, the new archival release from Yugoslav synth-pop duo Max & Intro. It is a vivid document of an era, beautifully restored and lovingly…

Krime, a newly formed hardcore punk band from the Netherlands, understands this perfectly. Their debut 7″ demo EP is a powerful, abrasive, and compact declaration of purpose. It’s a loud, fast, and raw collection…
