“PeachTree” - The Rainy Season
Every so often, a song comes along that feels like the emotional equivalent of finding an old photograph in a drawer you forgot existed. “PeachTree,” the latest single from Tampa-based trio The Rainy Season, is exactly that kind of track — tender, reflective, and drenched in the bittersweet glow of growing up and moving on.
“Breathe For Her” - Mercy Kelly
Originating from Oldham, Mercy Kelly have been quietly building a reputation for emotionally charged, stadium-ready indie that doesn’t chase trends — it bleeds them dry. With echoes of U2’s sweeping emotional landscapes and The Killers’ cinematic urgency, “Breathe For Her” pushes Mercy Kelly into that sweet spot between heartbreak and euphoria.
“Tidal Reflections” - FICMARO
With Tidal Reflections, Toronto-born, Barcelona-based producer FICMARO doesn’t just release a debut LP — he curates an experience. Across thirteen tracks (and a beautifully cut 12-inch vinyl edition), the artist constructs a sonic landscape that drifts effortlessly between organic tech-house grooves, ambient euphoria, and cinematic dreamscapes.
“The Bloom Project” - Adai Song
Adai Song — or ADÀI, as she’s known behind the decks — has never been one to follow the well-lit path. With The Bloom Project, the Beijing-and-NYC-based electropop artist, producer, and Berklee faculty member turns Chinese musical history into a luminous act of reclamation.
“All the Time” - Our Bones
With “All the Time,” Hudson Valley alt-rockers Our Bones deliver a song that’s both a howl and a heartbeat — a cathartic, tightly wound anthem about being human when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
“OVER MY HEAD” - melting reeds
Emerging from Switzerland’s quietly thriving indie landscape, Melting Reeds are crafting something that feels both deeply personal and curiously universal — music that listens back at you.
“Lone Wolf” - Chosen Undead
Rising from the quiet town of Hainburg near Frankfurt, Chosen Undead are proving that even from the calmest corners can come the loudest storms. Formed in 2024, this five-piece has already carved a name for themselves in Germany’s rapidly evolving metalcore landscape — not just through technical ferocity, but through an emotional and melodic depth that cuts deeper than most.
“A SONG, A STORY TOLD” - Robin James Hurt
Every so often, an album comes along that feels like it’s been carved straight from the wood and wind of Ireland itself — rough-hewn, melodic, and utterly alive. Robin James Hurt’s A Song, A Story Told is exactly that.
“Love & Desire” - James Harries
There’s something almost old-fashioned about the honesty that runs through James Harries’ new album, Love & Desire. Not old-fashioned in style — though there are echoes of classic folk and soul here — but in spirit. In an age of overproduction and algorithmic perfection, Harries dares to sound human.
“Home” - Phil
Vienna’s rising pop craftsman Phil Woloch returns with “Home,” a shimmering slice of retro-pop that feels like cruising down an open highway at golden hour — equal parts nostalgia, catharsis, and quiet revelation.
“Oceans of Kansas” - Lily Vakili
Lily Vakili’s Oceans of Kansas feels less like an album and more like a pilgrimage — a journey through time, memory, and the endless interior landscape of a woman reckoning with her own depths. It’s bold, poetic, and unafraid to get messy — the kind of record that doesn’t chase perfection, but truth.
“It's OK” - Chandra
Bristol’s Chandra have always had a knack for turning vulnerability into something anthemic — and with “It’s OK”, they hit that sweet spot where catharsis meets pure pop-rock joy. It’s three minutes of melodic adrenaline that manages to sound both stadium-sized and deeply personal, like a pep talk shouted through a megaphone.
