Across the entirety of The Engine, Acid City Nuns present for half the time as fun-loving musicians, and for the other half as profoundly topical observers of a world of uncertainty and error.
Albums
Bad Bubble never fails to drive with the soul and the honest search for connection and understanding. War is its own creative beast entirely, beautiful and heartbroken, perhaps relatable to many but also unflinchingly personal.
There’s a subtle pulse to the CURFEW project, humble threads of character in the production and playful musicianship, which all connects well to the story and inspiration at its core. The streets are quiet at night, until they’re suddenly wild.
Easy-going, organic rock and hopeful songwriting make up the aptly-titled new album from London songwriter and artist Mike Melan.
Introducing a welcomed exploration of the solo realm, Campfire Sigh’s own Grant Jesse Prosser launches a complex and colourful debut album, in the form of the wonderful Temporal Autumn.
Perhaps surprising that this is the first project of this name to cross our path – by all accounts, many of you reading this or experiencing this album are indeed Melophiles yourselves. Abhi Ananda, however, seems to encapsulate that quality with the clear complexity, versatility, skill and unwavering heart of these eight recordings.
The highly-anticipated debut album from Canada’s Kyle Richardson has finally hit the streaming sites – an eleven-track playlist of evocative and uplifting pop classics, beginning with the unmistakable anthem that is Can You Hear Me.
The House Of Love presents an array of string-like synths and all-consuming soundscapes, whilst countering that enchanting escapism with a deeply personal front-line vocal and paralleled storytelling
American Gothic is an audio adventure not unlike a movie as it plays out in full. Mighty songwriting and musicianship, unparalleled composition and performance, intriguing and contemplative stories, all uniting both darkness and sheer fun throughout a timelessly enjoyable album of originals.
Artistry encapsulated by way of an extensive conceptual project, wholly devoted to its underlying themes and imagery – Kross Irwin screams passionate conviction and compositional prowess, throughout the superb new album the boy who died, but had no funeral.
Perhaps the central lyrics of the opening track encapsulate the themes of this project best – “You can give your love. You can fuck your hate.” Meet The Beat Holes compiles unique anecdotes and broader topical themes, to ultimately celebrate the freedom of love and the power of personal choice.
Encapsulating the purpose of the album as an art-form, Stokerstl presents a cinematic and intricate journey, disguised as a fine collection of indie-pop songs both organic and catchy, for the naturally memorable, thought-provoking Programmed to Exist.
