“Potholes” - Moss Henry

If you’ve ever been on the road long enough to feel both free and completely wrecked at the same time, Moss Henry’s new single “Potholes” is going to hit you right in the chest. This is a road song, sure—but it’s also a love song, a homesick prayer, and a wry bit of storytelling wrapped up in under four minutes.

“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.

Exclusive Interview: LÜME

Some songs hit you with hooks, some with production wizardry, and some with sheer attitude. But every now and then, you come across a track that stops you dead in your tracks because of how real it feels. That’s what Lüme’s debut single Survivor does. It doesn’t scream for attention. It whispers, aches, swells, and finally erupts into something so emotionally charged that it feels like you’ve stumbled into somebody’s private diary—except instead of reading it, you’re listening to it unravel in cinematic dream-pop form.

We spoke to LÜME about her journey so far.

Exclusive Interview: Mark Masguro

Some albums arrive like a collection of songs. Others hit like a declaration, a manifesto, a lived-in philosophy wrapped in music. Mark Masguro’s “B-Emo: To be Emotional is not a Suggestion It is the Lifestyle” belongs to the latter camp. It’s not just an album—it’s a full-bodied statement about identity, emotion, and the alchemy of past and present sounds. From his Zürich base, Masguro has pieced together an expansive, self-produced project that is at once nostalgic, cinematic, and pulse-racing.

We spoke to Mark about his journey so far.

“The Blacksmith Part I” - Veiled Arch

Australia has always had a reputation for birthing uncompromising rock bands that thrive on raw energy and fearless storytelling. Melbourne’s Veiled Arch proudly carry that torch, but they’re doing it with a fresh twist—melding heavy rock with metal, punk, groove, and a healthy dose of theatricality. “The Blacksmith Part I,” is a sonic saga, a mythological hammer strike that rattles the bones and sets the stage for something bigger than your average heavy rock single.

“Crimson Desire” - Re:O

If you’ve been following Re:O for a while, you’ll know they’re no strangers to blending styles, moods, and cultural influences into something uniquely theirs. But with their ninth single, “Crimson Desire”, they’ve taken a step further down a heavier, darker path—one that trades some of their signature Japanese-inspired synth flourishes for raw, teeth-baring guitar riffs and an almost vampiric sense of hunger. And I mean that literally—the song’s central metaphor leans fully into imagery of vampirism, but not in a cheesy Halloween way. This is the bloodlust of ambition, the kind that keeps you chasing higher peaks even when you’ve sacrificed nearly everything to get where you are.

“Offerings: Guitar Meditations” - Clarelynn Rose

There’s a certain kind of record that doesn’t just play in the background—it changes the background. It shifts the air in the room, slows your breathing, and makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a softer world. Clarelynn Rose’s Offerings: Guitar Meditations is exactly that kind of record. Released on August 8, 2015, it’s a collection of deeply intimate, acoustic guitar pieces designed to be more than music—they’re invitations to stillness.

“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.

“Just With You” - Chandra

There’s something about certain songs that feel less like they were written and more like they were remembered — as if they’ve always existed somewhere in the background, just waiting for someone to bring them into the world. Just With You, the latest release from Bristol-based pop-rock outfit Chandra, falls neatly into that category.

Exclusive Interview: Jonny Thorns

Jonny Thorns isn’t here to brood, overcomplicate, or make you feel like life’s a puzzle you’ll never solve. Quite the opposite—his upcoming single “What We Don’t Know Won’t Hurt Us” is a breezy, rock-tinged invitation to stop overthinking, lean into the moment, and take life as it comes. It’s got the swagger of classic rock, the warmth of jangly guitars, and a message that lands right in the sweet spot of mental well-being and feel-good escapism.

“Drunk Candy” - Blake Cake

Blake Cake’s “Drunk Candy” is exactly what it sounds like—sweet, intoxicating, and a little bit dangerous. The rising DJ and producer has crafted a deep house banger that’s as glossy and stylish as a neon-lit rooftop bar but with the raw, underground grit of a 3 a.m. warehouse rave. It’s the latest chapter in her genre-fluid journey, where UK garage shuffles, house grooves, and the occasional drum & bass punch meet in an effortlessly cool package.
