Aistis ‘Caviar For Seagulls’
Aistis’ “Caviar For Seagulls” is an album of dark, cinematic folk that’s equal parts devastating and transcendent. With its sweeping arrangements and deeply personal lyrics, this record is a slow-burning fire that will consume your emotions and leave you scarred – in the best possible way. From the haunting “86/Dove” to the poignant “A part of me believes the best is yet to come”, every track is a masterfully crafted work of art that will haunt your dreams and lift your spirits.
Swiss Pleasure ‘2009’
With ‘2009’, Swiss Pleasure delivers an evocative, genre-blurring experience that lingers long after the final note. The band’s signature fusion of indie rock, post-punk, and dream pop shines through, with layered instrumentation that perfectly mirrors the track’s emotional depth. The music video—crafted from the band’s own homes and personal objects—adds another dimension, using inventive visual techniques to explore isolation, self-perception, and the struggle between fantasy and reality. Rotating the role of the protagonist reinforces the song’s intimacy, making ‘2009’ a deeply immersive, introspective journey, as hypnotic as it is emotionally raw.
Craigology ‘Rain Drops’
Craigology’s, Secrets from a Gemstone, is a breathtaking tapestry of sound, weaving together ambient piano, neoclassical depth, and smooth electronic jazz with orchestral grandeur. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like Max Richter and Ludovico Einaudi, Craigology crafts a sonic experience that feels both intimate and cinematic. A standout track, ‘Rain Drops’, is a delicate dance of keys—playful yet deeply emotive, capturing fleeting moments of joy and introspection in a way that lingers long after the last note fades. With this EP, Craigology proves once again that instrumental music can speak volumes, painting vivid emotions without a single word.
Rumia ‘Shift in the Air’
Rumia’s latest single ‘Shift in the Air’ is a mesmerizing dive into the surreal, carried by shimmering electric guitar riffs and a sense of creeping unease. The track’s ethereal production perfectly complements its unique narrative—one that unravels like a dream slipping into a nightmare. Co-written with Charlotte Kohn and Daria Kickler, ‘Shift in the Air’ crafts an eerie yet beautiful tale of a protagonist trapped in a shifting reality, where the smallest details hint at something profoundly wrong. Rumia’s delicate, haunting vocals heighten the track’s emotional weight, leading the listener through a soundscape that is as hypnotic as it is unsettling. As the story builds, the music swells, leaving us with an open-ended question that lingers long after the final note fades.
Bowden ‘Be Your Own God’
Raw yet refined, Bowden’s ‘Be Your Own God’ captures the disconnection and uncertainty of modern life, transforming those emotions into anthemic alt-rock. The band’s experimental edge is evident in its unpredictable shifts in melody and rhythm, yet the song retains an undeniable accessibility that broadens its appeal. As the lead single from their upcoming album, Glacier, this track sets the tone for what promises to be a defining record, cementing Bowden’s reputation as a band unafraid to confront the complexities of the human experience.

Campana ‘ROPE’
Need something that hits the soul and the speakers? Campana’s “ROPE” is exactly that. Using love as a lifeline, the track wraps emotional vulnerability in lush production and a hook that begs for a slow head nod. It’s therapy disguised as a jam, with Dave Shanaé serving heavenly vocals and Dave B. dropping the kind of verse that deserves a rewind. This isn’t just a song—it’s your new late-night soundtrack.
Stephan Folkes ‘Somebody Out There’
With “Somebody Out There,” Stephan Folkes channels a thrilling blend of alternative rock, R&B, and soul into a spine-tingling tale of youthful curiosity gone awry. The track feels like a short film in audio form—rich in atmosphere, with vocals that carry both tension and tenderness. It’s a standout release from an artist who’s turning his unique life journey into a powerful, genre-defying musical identity.
Jake Exavier – ‘Just What U Like’
Jake Exavier’s ‘Just What U Like’ is a slow-burning R&B track that succeeds through its emotional clarity and polished production. Self-penned and subtly nostalgic, the song sees Exavier tapping into his influences — Chris Brown, PartyNextDoor, even shades of Donell Jones — while maintaining a personal, grounded tone. His vocals are restrained yet expressive, delivering a message of romantic certainty with both warmth and swagger. What elevates the single is its sonic craftsmanship: producers Rochad Holiday and Curtis “Sauce” Wilson lend a classic ’90s texture that feels fresh when filtered through Exavier’s contemporary lens. It’s not flashy, but that’s exactly the point — ‘Just What U Like’ makes its mark with nuance, sincerity, and an artist in full control of his sound.
Mimi’s Revenge ‘Dire’
‘Dire’ is like diving into a neon-lit dream where everything feels dangerously close to falling apart — and you love it. Mimi’s Revenge takes you on a ride with their sultry vocals, sharp beats, and a vibe that’s equal parts mysterious and magnetic. It’s the perfect anthem for those who thrive in the shadows, daring to feel it all with a slick, addictive soundtrack to match.
The Straights ‘Remedy’
If you ever wondered what happens when you combine garage rock grit with indie swagger, “Remedy” by The Straights has the answer. From the first crunch of the guitar to the final bang of the drums, this track is pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll magic. The song’s lyrics are unapologetically raw, capturing the messy pursuit of healing through sound and sweat. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s everything you need when life gets chaotic — a perfect, rebellious anthem for anyone who just needs to let loose and rock out.
