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.

“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.

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.

After earning a loyal following with his introspective acoustic roots, Jonny’s upcoming single, “Another Heartache”, marks a massive sonic shift. Gone are the quiet laments of the coffeehouse circuit — this one rips the door off the hinges with a runaway-train energy that crashes somewhere between Exile-era Rolling Stones, roadhouse blues, and southern-fried Americana with a punk sneer.
