Atmospheric progressive metal of extensive meandering soundscapes – an EP of genre-fusing takes both dissonant and harmonised, beginning with a nine-minute epic that feels like multiple tracks in one. Swedish composer and musician David Blomgren creates under the project name Valfreyja, and The Rose Of Rebirth is a multi-coloured, chaotic and conceptually profound look at the artistic freedom that drives his approach.

A Turkish born creative, currently living in Sweden and with extensive travels in Africa clearly influencing the tribal rhythms at play throughout his repertoire, Caner Yeniyurt continues to impress. One Tree told the story of a tree fighting a storm on a hill, and Kedi Knows, somewhat more upbeat and funky, depicts an arrogant cat, walking the streets of Istanbul.

Introducing a huge summer jam, a big-bank funk-rock release, capturing aspects of disco and pop-rock across an uplifting sentiment and style. Dominick Keath brings catchy positivity and organic musicianship back to the forefront, with the infectious good vibes of an aptly-titled Rise And Shine.

Addictively satisfying original house music, an adventurer’s theme tune – an electronic producer with a fine ear for unique layering, rhythms, riffs, and a clear passion for the playfulness of creativity. Slim Vic’s Buccaneer is an instrumental anthem, with a touch of something White Lotus-like to its haunting melodic frontline.

Swedish songwriter and artist Trolleberg sets the mood with strong rock riffs and a soulfully mellow pace. Anyone But You lets the blissful appeal of the music reach out at volume thanks to great production, and as the leading voice weaves in a kind of nostalgic, reverb-soaked echo of the sixties, the melody and story proceed to further strengthen that initial attraction.

Music fans unite – for the escapism-craving nostalgic listeners, who still turn to the likes of Massive Attack, Morcheeba, and Portishead; new music of equal depth and humility emerges, from the creative corner of J Brink.

Mindscape is a stunning new album, modest in its simplicity and warmth, but vastly detailed and immersive for its sheer attention to the flow and mood of each track.
