r4vn drops new album ‘raven’s inferno’
With raven’s inferno, r4vn deepens her ascent within the witch-house underground, presenting an album that feels as curated as it is instinctual. The self-produced project showcases her talent for shaping electronic elements—Serum patches, Arturia textures, and layered synth atmospheres—into something that carries both artistic discipline and a sense of unbound imagination. The result is a listening experience that evokes the sensorial richness of an occult tableau, rendered with elegance rather than excess.
“you coward!” serves as the album’s thesis: a lean, propulsive work that confronts the listener with its tension and transcendence. This interplay continues across the tracklist—“flirting with madness” stutters at the edge of chaos, “the watcher.” strips itself nearly bare to heighten introspection, and “train my lover, necromancer” injects a theatrical flair that hints at r4vn’s narrative ambitions. Throughout, her voice operates as both beacon and illusion, guiding listeners through psychic landscapes that feel simultaneously surreal and grounded.
On the release, r4vn comments, “I created ‘raven’s inferno’ dissociating into the void for a while. It’s a dream of untethered magic — something that feels both real and unreal, like being pulled into another dimension.”
What distinguishes the album is its consistency of atmosphere without monotony. Each piece broadens the emotional architecture, offering a different posture toward the shadows that inspire r4vn’s work. In its totality, raven’s inferno reads as a meditation on power, fear, and transformation—an album that honors its influences while cultivating a uniquely personal mystique. It marks a significant stride in r4vn’s artistic evolution, establishing her as not simply a participant in the darkwave lineage but a meaningful contributor to its future.

Dysmusia Keeps “In your eyes” Honest, Warm And Straight To The Point
It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.
The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.
What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.
The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.
Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.
“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
