The Violet Mine ‘Do No Harm’

White Night is an evocative tapestry that tackles themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and religion. It features elements of dream pop and new wave. “Do No Harm,” which was written during the COVID lockdown in New York, centres on the historical figure of the plague doctor. These incompetent medical professionals grifted the last of the sick individuals as they went from town to town. The villagers were warned that death was imminent by their appearance, which included a crude “respirator” made from a beak filled with plants to fight off bad air.

Sovereigns ‘Ghost’

The exciting new song “Ghost” from Sovereigns combines pop punk and indie rock elements. It is a perfect illustration of their approach, fusing upbeat songs with a steadily escalating guitar-led background. The track begins quietly with strummed guitars and muted drums, gradually building towards the distortion-heavy energy of its chorus with a sense of purpose and a melancholy undertone. This shows off the band’s youthful, relatable lyricism and yet, ability to craft mature musical ideas.

Naesia ‘Mr. Mysterious’

Naesia’s, Indecisive, EP is a masterclass in vulnerability and artistic prowess, wrapped in a soundscape that’s equal parts daring and familiar. “Mr. Mysterious” perfectly captures the EP’s essence, with its hypnotic blend of R&B smoothness and Trap urgency, reflecting the exhilarating yet maddening dance of uncertain romance. Naesia’s ability to channel emotional nuance through her silky yet powerful voice makes each lyric linger long after the track ends. Moving to London seems to have infused her sound with a cosmopolitan edge, creating music that’s unapologetically raw and irresistibly magnetic.

messier ‘Baskervilles’

Messier’s latest single, ‘Baskervilles’, is an emotionally electric masterstroke that cements their reputation as indie rock alchemists. Huumonen and Orajärvi channel the raw, unsettling allure of catastrophizing into a sonic journey that’s both intimate and apocalyptic. The track’s layered instrumentation oscillates between eerie minimalism and explosive crescendos, perfectly capturing the inner turbulence it portrays. Haunting yet addictive, ‘Baskervilles’ is the sound of a band not just embracing their creative evolution but fearlessly soaring into the unknown. It’s a tantalizing promise of what’s to come in ‘Stream of Guilty Consciousness’.

Lolli Wren ‘All Mine’

Lolli Wren’s ‘All Mine’ is the kind of track that lingers long after the final note fades—a stirring blend of dark alt-rock and soaring, evocative vocals. The song’s driving guitars and thunderous drums create an ominous yet uplifting atmosphere, perfectly complementing Lolli’s rich, emotive delivery. Shades of Kate Bush’s theatrical storytelling and Stromae’s sonic depth infuse the track with a unique dynamism, making it both intimate and larger-than-life. With ‘All Mine’, Lolli turns pain into poetry, crafting an anthem of resilience that resonates deeply. This is music that doesn’t just speak—it shouts, it aches, it triumphs.

Patrick Staniforth ‘English Garden’

In English Garden, Patrick Staniforth invites listeners into a deeply intimate chapter of his life, capturing the fragile beauty of love and loss with stunning clarity. The song’s delicate yet anthemic arrangement, reminiscent of Coldplay and Michael Kiwanuka, perfectly underscores Patrick’s earnest vocals, drawing the listener into the garden where he met his brother for the first—and last—time. The track flourishes with melodic guitar work, understated percussion, and a haunting sense of nostalgia, proving once again that Patrick has mastered the art of turning personal moments into universal truths.

The fin. ‘Echoes’

“Echoes” by The fin. is a spellbinding exploration of identity, nostalgia, and the powerful pull of one’s past. Yuto Uchino’s smooth, floating vocals are paired with intricate layers of shimmering synths, creating a soundscape that feels both otherworldly and deeply personal. The song starts off with the gentle hum of nature before building into a groovy, psychedelic rhythm that begs you to sway along. It’s a beautiful meditation on change, memories, and the process of rediscovery. “Echoes” invites listeners to reconnect with themselves through the lens of their past, offering a peaceful retreat for the soul.
