‘From a Window’ - Ryan Harley
Ryan Harley’s From a Window EP feels like one of those late-night listens where you press play just to sample a track, and before you know it, the whole record has washed over you like a tide you didn’t realise you were standing in. It’s understated, intimate, and quietly daring—music that sneaks up on you rather than announcing itself with a bang.
“Is Love Enough” - TANOKI Feat. Farah Elle
“Is Love Enough” is less a track you listen to and more one you get pulled into — hypnotic, strange, and strangely comforting. The collaboration between TANOKI and Farah Elle feels like it wasn’t forced into existence, but rather stumbled into being, like two rivers finally crossing paths.
“Concrete Wave” - Everwill
Some songs feel like they were written in a cramped bedroom at 2 a.m., spilling out from a notebook full of feelings you weren’t sure you’d ever share. Others feel like they were made for sweaty summer nights, car windows down, and the volume just shy of blowing your speakers. “Concrete Wave”—the latest single from Nebraska-born William Griffey’s solo project EverWill—manages to be both at the same time.
“Paradigm” - Heron
Heron’s “Paradigm” is the kind of track that makes you feel like you’re straddling two timelines: one foot in a ’60s jazz lounge, the other in a futuristic, neon-soaked cityscape. True to his reputation for tearing up genre boundaries and stitching them back together into something entirely his own, the UK artist, songwriter, and producer has delivered an uptempo, synth-heavy, psychedelic-pop gem that somehow manages to be both introspective and ready for the dance floor.
“Welcome To Loveland” - Lucifers Beard
Lucifers Beard’s Welcome to Loveland is not your average EP. Sure, it’s got fuzzy guitars, infectious grooves, and all the analog charm of a vintage vinyl. But beneath the neon glow of this 70s-inspired psychedelic concept record lies a biting commentary on the emotional rot hidden under corporate cheer.
“See You Around” - Verticoli
Tasmania’s very own alternative rock powerhouse Verticoli have just dropped a new single, “See You Around,” and it’s the kind of track that hits you right in the nostalgia muscle. Instead of going full heartbreak ballad, Verticoli wrap it all up in warm, jangly guitars, laid-back grooves, and a distinctly Aussie brand of alt-rock that feels just as much like summer as it does sadness.
“For You” - Just Arrogant Animals
Just Arrogant Animals might sound like the name of your favorite chaotic group chat, but in reality, it’s a genre-bending, emotionally-charged music project born in the scenic heart of Kawartha Lakes, Canada. Formed by longtime friends and sonic adventurers Kyle Knowles and Pat Sabyan, the duo has been on a mission since 2022 to explore the edges of musical expression—and if their latest single “For You” is any indication, they’re doing a damn good job of it.
“Fires Of The Blue Moon” - Medivh
Let’s just say it: Medivh isn’t your average rock band. In fact, calling them a “band” feels limiting. This Italian art rock duo—made up of brothers Emmanuele and Tommaso—is more like a sonic force of nature. They’re part dream, part nightmare, all passion. Born in the quiet cradle of the Tuscan countryside and raised on distortion pedals, experimental textures, and spiritual unrest, Medivh crafts music that doesn’t just demand your attention—it consumes it.
“Rose-Colored Boy” - CROSSTOWN
Cover songs can be tricky territory. You’ve got to respect the original while somehow carving out your own identity within it — and that’s no easy feat, especially when you’re taking on something as beloved and punchy as Paramore’s “Rose-Colored Boy.” But CROSSTOWN, the Los Angeles-based duo made up of singer/producer/guitarist Danny Mitchell and bassist Lily Santos, doesn’t just cover the song. They reimagine it, dip it in glitter, give it a pulse, and set it free on the dancefloor.
“People Are Mad” - Sean Griffin
After a 25-year run at the heart of New York’s Irish-American music scene with his band The Ruffians, Sean Griffin has officially gone solo—and let’s just say he’s not tiptoeing into the spotlight. His debut single, “People Are Mad”, is part protest song, part pub sing-along, and part cheeky commentary on the general chaos of the modern world. It’s also undeniably fun. If you've ever laughed while crying over the state of politics, or yelled “we’re doomed” over a pint with friends, this song might just feel like your new anthem.
“No Kings for Me” - Chris Pellnat
Imagine a cartoon cat riding a robot, standing tall in digitally rendered worlds, refusing to bow to tyrants—and yes, that’s exactly the vibe of Chris Pellnat’s new music video “No Kings for Me.” This protest anthem, filmed entirely in VRChat, merges grassroots activism with whimsical surrealism—and all without a drop of AI involved. It’s homemade protest art for the digital age, and it hits surprisingly hard.
“cool like you” - Varun Sheel
Some songs don’t just play—they hold up a mirror. Varun Sheel’s “cool like you” is one of those rare indie pop tracks that feels like it’s dancing right on that razor’s edge between joy and vulnerability.
Musically, “cool like you” is light on its feet. The production pops with bright, glassy tones that recall late-night neon reflections—guitars are crisp and rhythmic, 808s hit with a modern, low-end punch, and the drums keep things snappy enough to land this firmly in “danceable” territory.
