Brooklyn--New York--USA
Ambient old-school vibes and poetically conscious raps – a delicacy and depth united across three unignorably distinct originals. Stori Brooks creates a whole new mood and direction, with the brand new EP songs for you.
Self-penned as left-wing synth-pop and electronica, a contemporary take on political protest music – the aptly named and rather unforgettable Debt Shop Boi delivers a series of boldly scathing original songs, and soundscapes that rain down with the hypnotic multi-coloured depth of eras past.
The minimalism of Slide It lets the programmed qualities of the voice feel a little more exposed, striking up interest in the real thing – the live performance possibilities. There’s a mysterious AI tone to much of the project, but only time will tell. Alli Cazaam is definitely memorable in both name and style.
Brooklyn besties Josh and Charlie, united for life by their passion for absurdist animation and music, showcase the quirky depths of their artistry, with their second single release as Bagel Boys – the heartfelt, humous ballad Gluten Love.
Leaky Ship was indeed a rightful indicator of the artistic weight and purpose of BenBen and Lily’s collaboration. The music of this EP has so much to offer in terms of its musicality and conceptual consideration.
From the upcoming collaborative EP White Elephant, Leaky Ship unites artists BenBen and Lily Desmond, for a metaphorical deep-dive into the art of appreciating the beauty of the world; even when the boat you’re floating upon is doomed to sink.
“This album is most certainly unorthodox in most aspects. It leaves you guessing. It’s not perfect by any means, but that just goes along with life – no one is perfect. It honestly sounds like a bunch of people are featuring, there are a ton of different flows and styles, but rest assured it’s all me.”
“I started to understand my purpose when it came to music. I starting to perform my songs for my church and from there I fell in love with creating my music.”
During the latter half we get to appreciate the reverb-soaked, atmospheric presentation of a dreamy guitar loop, and a touch of Caban’s own affinity with afrobeats, modern rap and world music flavours.
“People focus more on the non-important details such as the amount of likes/ comments they have, and it can really mess with one’s mental health. It also damages the level and the deepening of many musicians in the art.”
Freshly released from his sensational and heartfelt new album Crooked Miles, songwriter and artist Dave Vargo connects for his story-telling and calming melodies alike, throughout Nobody’s Fault.
