Smooth production & absolute clarity meet with engaging stories that lean back & forth between the personal & the inclusive, connecting on a profound level for their honesty, openness & relatability.
Albums
From love songs to haunting tribal rhythms & dance-ready auras, with a multitude of stories and languages along the way, the project has plenty to offer.
One of the best & most unique indie albums to hit the scene this year – Christopher Dallman’s Digital Blue gets an energising make-over, shining light on a whole new aspect of his music.
Progressing from simple, funk-led beginnings, through a nostalgic arena of classic dance and house vibes, Antoine Carco keeps things organic & engaging throughout his post one-hour mixes this season.
A beautiful collection of songs that flies high on the wings of its sonic ambition & musicianship & boasts dynamic vocal performances that can flip effortlessly between coruscating & heart-wrenching.
Brilliant rock vibes pour through with a fine fusion of classic progressive & contemporary song-writing for this brand new album from Baltimore’s Kevin Strasser.
The uniquely intriguing project Self-Theories tackles the concept of life-defining decisions – those we make based on our own belief systems & indeed stereotypes about both the world & ourselves.
You quickly realise the sheer passion, precision & alternative, uninhibited creative freedom that has crafted this album.
Heavy vibes from the outset unite thick rhythms and a deep vocal tone, alongside faultless confidence & flow that all tips its hat back to the dawn of the genre.
Beginning with the beautifully uplifting, energizing folk-pop offering that is Pour It On, immediately we’re gifted with strength of song-writing, soulful & expressive vocals, and pristine production.
A masterful artist – one whom we’re lucky to have gracing our indie world & indeed our generation. Highly recommended.
Comparison is the lifeblood of most reviews, but apart from the nods to other artists and songs already mentioned above, Astoria sits quite comfortably in a an alt-country / rock / folk pocket all on its own. Leo Harmonay sounds very comfortable and accomplished in that skin and the breadth of his vision is impressive indeed.
