OUTER ‘Svartsengi’
“Svartsengi” feels like being wrapped in a blanket of fog that somehow smells like fresh pine and nostalgia. OUTER’s piano loop gently spins like a music box you found in an attic, and then in breezes Arve Henriksen, sounding like he dipped his trumpet in moonlight. It’s tender, it’s haunting, and it leaves you with that delicious feeling of wanting to press play again just to live inside its little weather system a bit longer.
Peter DiMaggio ‘Fly Away’
If The 1975 and Coldplay had a lovechild raised on indie movie soundtracks, it would sound a lot like Peter DiMaggio’s “Fly Away.” It’s lush, glossy, and full of “main character energy” — the kind of track that makes you feel like your life just got a soundtrack upgrade. Between its cinematic build and DiMaggio’s earnest delivery, it’s clear he’s not just chasing pop perfection — he’s flying toward something real.
Nina Ann Nelson ‘Just a Little’
“Just a Little” hits like a sparkling burst of confidence in musical form. Nina Ann Nelson serves sultry melodies, clever lyrics, and enough R&B swagger to make you want to hit replay immediately. It’s upbeat, emotionally honest, and feels like a mini pep talk set to an irresistible groove—basically the soundtrack for owning your day (or your life).
Blue Capricorn ‘MISERICORDIA’
“MISERICORDIA” is the sonic equivalent of a midnight walk where you’re solving your problems, discovering your main character moment, and also vibing to haunted electronic beats. Blue Capricorn pours vulnerability straight into the mic while Black Taffy sets the emotional lighting design. It’s dark, artsy, and unexpectedly motivational—the perfect track to add to your playlist for dramatic staring out of windows.
Walter Miller ‘Basic Instinct’
Think glitter, guitars, and a little bit of “did I just hear a violin?” magic—Walter Miller’s “Basic Instinct” delivers all that and more. It’s an energetic, theatrical pop-rock anthem that somehow manages to feel intimate while also stadium-ready. Whether you’re headbanging in your car or singing into a hairbrush at home, this song dares you to own your true self with a wink and a roar.
