This is the world Giulio Risi invites us into with “Lorna’s Room (The Loss of Love)”, the second single from his upcoming concept album Seven Sketches of Loss—and honestly, it’s like someone pressed play on your memories.

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 a lie so seductive, you'll hit replay before the track is even over.

“Another Heartache” - Jonny Morgan

Jonny Morgan is back — and he didn’t just bring a guitar. He brought the thunder.

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.
