If Modern Guilt's second EP We’ll Always Have Vegas showed us they had teeth, their new single You Know Who You Are proves they've got a venomous bite — and they know exactly how and when to use it.
We spoke to Modern Guilt about their journey so far.
Let’s talk about heartbreak—not the loud, dramatic, throw-a-glass-across-the-room kind, but the quiet, lingering type that hangs around long after the relationship ends. That’s the emotional terrain Kevin Driscoll maps out in his debut single “Black It Out”—and he does it with striking honesty, poise, and sonic richness.
Before the Doom by Pablo Serrano isn’t just an album you listen to—it's one you feel. Deep in your chest, behind your ribs, in the parts of you that have ever felt disoriented, displaced, or determined to begin again. It’s an album made by a painter-turned-songwriter, a Mexico City native now living in Germany, who somehow manages to channel an entire migration of spirit into just a few, gorgeously crafted songs.

Heron has returned, and he's not pulling any punches. The UK-based singer-songwriter and producer's new single, Dead To It, feels like a quiet emotional gut punch wrapped in a sonic dreamscape. Known for his fiercely DIY ethos and genre-fluid artistry, Heron once again proves he doesn't need a team of producers or a shiny studio to create something that sounds both intimate and cinematic.
We spoke to Heron about his journey so far.
Some songs don’t need to raise their voice to break your heart—and Time’s a Killer by Dee Dasher does exactly that. It arrives like a whispered confession in the dead of night, the kind of track you stumble across during a bout of insomnia and end up listening to on repeat because something about it hits you right in the soul. It’s a slow burn, a ghost story wrapped in silk, and a deeply cinematic portrait of time, loss, and the emotional fallout of unreciprocated love.
We spoke to Dee about her journey so far.
Every once in a while, a song lands in your lap that feels like a time capsule, a diary entry, and a summer road trip all at once. Towse’s latest single, Stay On The Road, is exactly that—a foot-stomping, heart-thumping folk-pop gem that bursts with nostalgia, wanderlust, and a whole lot of love. If you’ve ever been in a relationship that was chaotic, spontaneous, beautifully imperfect, and somehow exactly what you needed, this song will hit home.
Welcome to Bloom County—a sonic universe crafted by Milo Bloom that’s brimming with heart, hooks, and haze. This debut album feels like opening a photo album where every picture melts into sound, soaked in nostalgia, sunlight, and the weight of growing up.
Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Mice are back at it again — and this time, they’re taking us on a 10-minute journey through the tangled relationship between humanity and technology, the cosmos, and our age-old fascination with immortality. We Are All Bots, their newest three-track concept EP, is a bite-sized space opera that somehow manages to be philosophical, theatrical, and fun — all at once.
Every few years, an artist manages to reinvent their sound without losing the essence that makes their music matter. In 2025, that artist is I Forget Myself. With the release of his eighth full-length album, A Countenance in Involution, the critically acclaimed alternative rock force delivers a sweeping, cinematic exploration of emotional complexity, identity, and the raw tension between reflection and transformation.
There’s something uniquely thrilling about watching a young artist come into their own — and at just 16 years old, Sloan Treacy is already doing that with striking emotional clarity and a confidence that feels far beyond her years. With her latest single, “The Good Part,” the emerging singer-songwriter pulls no punches as she captures the aching space between hope and heartbreak — and makes you feel every second of it.
Trashy Annie’s new single “Some Strange” is not here to make you feel cozy. It’s not a tender love song. It’s not a radio-polished, autotuned earworm. What it is, however, is a whiskey-drenched, leather-studded gut-punch of a rock anthem that smells like gasoline, heartbreak, and last night’s cigarettes — in the best way possible.
Minneapolis-based producer KB-S isn’t interested in making noise for noise’s sake — he’s sculpting emotion. His latest release, the evocatively titled “Morning Star”, dropped on June 13, 2025, and it’s a vivid reminder that instrumental music doesn’t need words to say a lot. Clocking in as both an introspective meditation and a slow-burning sonic fever dream, this single solidifies KB-S as one of the more quietly magnetic voices in downtempo hip-hop and ambient trap.
Breaking The Ice, the new release from pianist and composer Jon Gold (dropped on June 1st, 2025, via Entropic Records), is not your average jazz single — and that’s exactly why it’s so damn good.
Gold has long been a musical shape-shifter, unafraid to dive into the deep end of complex rhythm, global textures, and unconventional arrangements. But with Breaking The Ice, he’s taken things to a whole new level — emotionally, technically, and culturally. This is a song that doesn’t sit still, and honestly, why should it? Life doesn’t either. And Gold, more than ever, sounds like an artist not chasing perfection, but chasing truth. One echo at a time.
There’s something gloriously backwards about how Valerie Forgione writes music — and that’s exactly what makes “Light and Low”, the newest single from her project Lovina Falls, so arresting. Released on June 13, 2025, this lush, surreal soundscape glides in like a dream, lingers like a memory, and pushes you gently forward like a whisper from the future. The message? The world might be in shambles, but you can still move, still dance, still feel something. Maybe even joy.
Every now and then, a song comes along that feels less like a product and more like a warm conversation with a friend. Natasha’s new single, “Life’s Little Tragedies” — dropped on May 29th, 2025 — is exactly that kind of tune. A bittersweet blend of folk, jazz, and cozy acoustic pop, the track captures the ache of heartbreak with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. You’re going to feel this one in your chest — and you might even laugh while you do.
If you’ve ever cranked up your stereo just to drown out your own thoughts, TWOFEW’s latest single “Let It Go” is the kind of track that doesn’t just fill a room—it owns it. Released June 3, 2025, this Phoenix-based four-piece is crashing through the noise of formulaic radio rock with something real: a gritty, emotional anthem that throws punches and then hugs you mid-fall.
If you’ve ever had your heart stomped on, buried it under a pile of distractions, and thought you were over it — then Gary Mictian’s new single “All I Ever Wanted” is going to hit hard.
Released on June 13, 2025, this track marks the beginning of a new era for the London-based hyperpop/electronic artist and producer, and it’s both an emotional gut punch and an electro-pop daydream. It’s the first in a series of singles we can expect from Gary this year, and if this is the opening statement, we’re in for one hell of a ride.
Senior Dunce is back and bolder than ever with his latest single Bestial, and this time, he’s brought along a couple of familiar voices to help him light the fuse. Featuring California-based powerhouse vocalist Cheshy and returning collaborator Gimpado as a sub-vocalist, Bestial is a thumping, funky house dance track that dives deep beneath the skin — not just into the groove, but into the very core of human nature.
Some songs don’t just play through your speakers—they echo inside you. “What Remains” is one of those tracks. A raw, emotionally packed offering from powerhouse vocalist Milyssa Rose and boundary-pushing producer Tharealmdc, this alt/dark pop anthem digs deep into the labyrinth of mental health, leaving nothing on the surface.
There’s something instantly charming — and deceptively complex — about Couple(t)s, the sophomore album by North Carolina folk-rock duo Couldn’t Be Happiers. On first listen, it’s easy to get swept up in the earworm harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and the sheer likability of the married couple at the heart of it all: Jodi Hildebran Lee and Jordan Crosby Lee. But spend a little more time with this 12-track record, and you’ll find a rich, poetic tapestry that digs deep into protest, folklore, and love — the three pillars that hold this project up.
