“Sweetlips” - Laguna
Some tracks hit you like a freight train made of glitter and grit — and “Sweetlips” by Laguna is exactly that kind of sonic chaos. Straight from the scorched psychedelic heart of Geelong, Victoria, this new single from James Guida’s solo project isn’t just a song — it’s an entire vibe, smeared with distortion, soaked in VHS static, and buzzing with unapologetic energy.
“Gay Song” - Ratfink!
Let’s set the scene: it’s a cloudy Melbourne afternoon, you’re sitting in your share house kitchen in Carlton North, someone’s just brewed a cup of tea in a mug with a chipped handle, and “Gay Song” by Ratfink! is playing through a crackly Bluetooth speaker in the next room. It’s raw. It’s tender. It’s devastatingly real. And it feels like someone finally said the quiet parts out loud.
“Bloom County” - Milo Bloom
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.
“We Are All Bots” - Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Mice
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.
“A Countenance in Involution” - I Forget Myself
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.
“Morning Star” - KB-S
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.
“Red Sky Warning” - David Cloyd
Buffalo’s indie enigma returns with emotional firepower, a decade wiser and louder than ever.
If there’s one thing Red Sky Warning proves within its first few notes, it’s this: David Cloyd never really left—he just went deeper. After more than ten years of near-silence as a solo artist, the Buffalo-based singer-songwriter, producer, and cult-adored indie figure has re-emerged with a record that doesn’t just pick up where his debut left off—it catapults the whole conversation forward.
“I'm No Home” - Austel
After the delicate devastation of her 2024 debut Dead Sea, Austel returns with “I’m No Home”, a self-produced, soul-searching slow-burner that feels like a private prayer sent through an abandoned cathedral. It’s one of those rare pieces that creeps into your bones.
“F.O.M.O” - Tarn PK
Tarn PK is quietly becoming a name you can’t ignore — not just in the New Zealand indie scene, but anywhere that cares about pop with purpose. With his latest single “F.O.M.O”, he cements himself as the introvert’s answer to existential electro-pop — weaving daily disillusionment into something strangely comforting, danceable, and beautiful.
“Creatures” - Ben Heyworth
With the new EP Creatures, Ben Heyworth steps out under his own name for the first time in years, swapping out the electronic dreamscapes of This Morning Call for something more stripped back, human, and soul-soaked. And while the tech may have changed and the tempos slowed, the essential Ben-ness remains: lush harmonies, poetic lyrics, warm vocals, and melodies that melt you in under thirty seconds.
Exclusive Interview: THE ELEPHANT MAN
Darkwave’s most twisted prophets are back — and this time, they’re here to poison you beautifully.
With their newest single, “LIES ARE MY PERFECT DRUG”, the Italian cult-favorite band—The Elephant Man—plunges headfirst into the ugly-beautiful chaos of modern deception, and guess what? It slaps. Think gothic sermon delivered from inside a glitching mainframe. Think Nine Inch Nails meets Depeche Mode in a haunted VR cathedral. Think a lie so seductive, you'll hit replay before the track is even over.
We spoke to The Elephant Man about their journey so far.
“I’m Not Here to Help You” - Kate Howard
Sharp. Sweet. Slightly surreal. And absolutely unforgettable.
Every now and then, an artist comes along and completely rewires your expectations—Kate Howard is that kind of artist. Her latest EP, “I’m Not Here to Help You,” isn’t just a collection of songs. It’s a musical novella written with razor-sharp wit, tender humanity, and just the right amount of weird.
