Larusta & The Dead Dogs Drop Moody New Single “Scattered”

Published

on

London-based alt-rocker Larusta, the brains behind Larusta & The Dead Dogs, is back with his brooding new single “Scattered”. Think poetry meets rock, born out of a lockdown-induced identity crisis—but make it hauntingly beautiful. Taken from his upcoming debut album, The Life You Save May Be Your Own (dropping November 15, 2024), this track is all about surviving chaos when the world (and maybe your Zoom connection) falls apart.

Originally written as a poem during the London lockdown, “Scattered” captures Larusta’s inner monologue during a time when most of us were just perfecting sourdough. He turned those feelings into a dark, moody track with a minor key, eerie Wurlitzer keyboard, and a cello that basically makes you feel things you didn’t know you had.

With influences from his small-town German roots and London’s underground scene, Larusta has crafted a sound that’s part introspective, part “I need a pint”. And good news- he’s taking that energy to Berlin’s ART Stalker on November 14th, so catch him live if you’re up for a night of atmospheric rock.

Paulino Finds “A Reason to Stay” in a Soul-Stirring New Americana Anthem

Published

on

Paulino is preparing to release what promises to be one of the most heartfelt and spellbinding Americana songs of the year — “A Reason to Stay.”  Steeped in sincerity, emotion, and poetic reflection, the track feels less like a song and more like a conversation between the heart and the horizon — a timeless story told through melody, truth, and the ache of love that lingers.

With his signature blend of folk authenticity and cinematic soul, Paulino paints with sound — acoustic guitars glowing like embers, a voice weathered yet warm, and lyrics that move through the air like fireflies on a dusky Southern evening. “A Reason to Stay” feels as though it was born in the space between longing and hope, where every note carries a whisper of memory and every word a reason not to let go.

Paulino’s music has always captured the beauty in stillness — the quiet moments between joy and sorrow where life reveals its most fragile truths. This new release expands that emotional palette, balancing a raw intimacy with the kind of wide-open atmosphere that defines Americana at its most powerful. It’s music for the road, for the soul, and for the quiet hours when you’re searching for yourself in the echoes of another’s goodbye.

As the first notes of “A Reason to Stay” unfold, listeners are pulled into Paulino’s world — a place where heartbreak finds healing, and every chord reminds us that even when the road ahead is uncertain, the journey itself is what gives us a reason to stay.

A release date announcement is expected soon, but one thing is already clear: Paulino’s “A Reason to Stay” is destined to leave a lasting mark — a song that doesn’t just play, it lingers.
