From the upbeat Owl City electro warmth and anthemic peak of Rearview Mirror, the energising nature and thoughtful undertones of this album are made clear, and as we proceed into the heavier rock energy and tempo of Guitar Hero III, suddenly that nostalgia redirects us towards the Tony Hawks soundtracks and beyond – another fork in the road that’s unexpected but satisfying.

Cinematic synth-pop, a sense of story and intention, combined with a performative flair and purposeful design – of both groove and melody. Renowned and vastly streamed indie artist GRAE releases her intoxicating new album 7 Minutes ‘Til Heaven, capturing attention with the spoken scene-setting of American Dream, and proceeding to tighten her grip with the darker vibes and vocal charm of a distinct pop classic Dark Energy.

Genre-fusion and quirky storytelling, a hearty dose of intention and some stylish free-playing – an eclectic album, inspired by all things jazz, rock, country. Paul Cann’s latest album feels like an uninhibited ode to creative freedom, and celebrates the joy of that from start to finish.

We’re in a king of Hard-Fi realm with this voice and writing, but then as we move into the more world-music sway and bass-play of Pet Sematary, Zweng is quick to recapture his own lane. The voice is softer, the lyrics compelling and unusual, before we return to another uplifting pop-rock anthem for Goodbye To You.
