Super lo-fi shoegaze almost warped in its vintage warmth, cleverly contrasts the upfront clarity and calm of an intimate leading voice – Jenn Pemkowski presents an enchanting indie pop sound, with Dynasty.
Lo-Fi
Three tracks in full compile the parameters of this release, an ambient lo-fi groove and retro panning of beats and keys lighting up the simple joyous space for The Way It Seems. Humility and mood consistently walk this road together, Big O showcasing the very best of his cinematic audio mind, whilst creating a softly evolving landscape of contemplation that manages to hold interest throughout.
Haunting complexities and profound reflections build up a sort of cinematic and poetic chamber of sound and uniquely intriguing expressions. Ireland’s Kevin Gleeson is the artistic mind behind Sour Blood, a project from which the album Suas emerges as a deceptively hazy, ultimately complex and compelling collection of original works.
Timeless soulful production meets with a conscious and calm rap style – Tommy Will delivers the poetic beating heart of Hip Hop, with his iconic new EP Love Letters Melt in Arizona Summers.
The flow is smooth, settled in its confidence, the production in keeping with the study and chill playlists of today only with an essential twist of recognisable melody from the keys. It’s a clever way to blend the popular and the recognisable, and makes for a welcomed opener for an eight track project that consistently calms you down.
Colourful and retro production sets a disco-kissed realm that’s merely a small introduction to an artist fiercely unconfined by genre or expectation. sykii lights up the uniquely melodic and vocally distinct project Blaze with unrivalled eclecticism and freedom of expression.
Kina has become the first ever Italian artist to reach one billion streams on Spotify for an original single, and has rightfully attracted the attention of numerous renowned labels – even securing a re-release under Columbia Records.
The elusive paqx creates music from the spirit and the soul, blending instrumental purity with spoken reflections and personal honesty, across uniquely ambient, beautiful playlists like the Wetakkim album.
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.
Producer and MC duo Shaun Harris and LUGO deliver a smooth-soul and funk backdrop to a mellow, characterful rap outpouring, for the self-reflective and storytelling Swan Shaun.
An impressive debut, to say the least – a track that begs for you to witness it in a live setting. Purple Crosses intertwines desolation and hope, as it explores the concept of recovery and the overwhelming desire to escape the hellish grip of addiction.
Intimate musicianship and storytelling to match, NICE is a brief but effective collection of live performances – a band united in this lo-fi-inspired expression of self and groove.
