Soul-Pop vocals and mellow production, harmonies and heartfelt sentiments – Stay In My Arms marks a distinct introduction to the contemporary audio project of Maurice Norwood.
Albums
Deep Eddy Records hold closely to authenticity and vibe, celebrating the best in instrumental traditions and guitar music, with a genre-fusing surf revival that’s invigorating.
Modern pop-punk with emotional vulnerability and unfiltered passion. Mira’s Age brings through an album of energising riffs, licks, live drums and hooks, whilst diving into stories that reflect on issues like anxiety, attention craving, accountability, mental anguish, and heartbreak.
The album makes equal use of instrumental prowess, English and Hebrew lyrics, and features a noteworthy collection of session musicians and engineers from across the globe. As such, each song is uniquely uplifting, calming, colourful, but also modest, and despite the eclecticism of instrumental choices and tones, even stories, the music is always grounded by Amir’s welcoming vocal fluidity, and the realness of this live performance capture.
Bad Bubble is a poet, whose songs read like timeless artistic expressions of the depth of human grief, joy, uncertainty, and possibility.
A concept album in full, MonSter takes inspiration from thoughts and experiences relating to identity, resilience, and the invisible battles of living with multiple sclerosis.
Electronic pop-rock and evocative self-reflection tackles the process of building, breaking, and redefining one’s identity and life. Sonic Pulse Project’s 4th album to date brings 10 original tracks of slick riffs and contemplative stories, for The Blueprint.
Unique melodic twists and deeply moving, relatable but fresh stories and sounds – a classic rock set-up with an unpredictable sense of humanity and heart. At a time when music seems to have lost its realness and originality, Vinyl Floor keep the essence of interaction and artistry alive, with the evocative anthems and grooves of their brand new album Balancing Act.
New York based composer, pianist and doctor Esmond Rubinov has achieved noteworthy successes with single projects over the years, but now returns to the bare essentials of composition, with the highly-anticipated launch of his debut album The Year After.
It’s a huge and crucial conclusion, and musically quite impeccable – rightfully drawing thousands of streams already in its short time online. This personification of the damage and weight of rage is powerful, original, and perfectly framed for impact. Raging Depths is a focused artistic project, and album two is everything listeners will hope for and more.
While the music is easy and evocative to lose yourself within, there’s also plenty to unpack lyrically throughout 2007. Consider Darkest Patches, a catchy jam that seems to understand and connect with you as you navigate the darkness of modern life, but the closer you look, the more insight, the sharper the wordplay, and the more revealing the sentiments. Noah $tout does this with every track, an easy listen on the surface, but so much more depth and detail as you revisit, and that’s the gift and realness of the sound.
There’s an exotic vocal flavour, alongside these sci-fi soundwaves and notes, and this creates a sense of rising enchantment that only grows stronger throughout the near-fourteen-minute journey. The song features a mutated version of the riff from Ghost Rider, by Suicide, and is a welcomed alternative to the more traditionally structured electronic tracks that seem so simple and rather predictable these days.
