CURIOUS
FOR MUSIC.

From the first note of “Better,” Clyde the Band establishes themselves as masters of alt-rock storytelling. The song’s distorted guitars, punchy percussion, and hook-laden melodies immediately command attention, creating a track that’s both nostalgic and unmistakably contemporary. The emotional core of the track is undeniable. Addressing the frustration and hurt of being dismissed by close friends, family, or lovers, the lyrics capture moments that feel deeply personal yet un

Indie folk and alt-country artist SunSkip, the musical project of singer-songwriter Sean Maljanian, returns with a compelling new single, “Sincerely.” The track melds intimate storytelling with a rollicking, honky-tonk energy, showcasing Maljanian’s growth as a songwriter and his willingness to push the boundaries of folk music. It is at once reflective and exuberant, a rare combination that underscores the versatility of his artistry. At its heart, “Sincerely” is a story

If pop music had a reset button, VÆB might have just pressed it. The Icelandic brothers have built their reputation on fun-first creativity, and with every release, they double down on the idea that joy doesn’t need justification. Their world is loud, shiny, and unapologetically silly — and it works. Their new single ‘Þetta Reddast’ is pure serotonin in song form. Anchored by bright electronic production and a hook that refuses to leave your head, the track transforms a fami

Leodis return with a quiet kind of weight on their shoulders. The Leeds-based trio unveil “Days Like These”, a song that doesn’t shout for attention but lingers long after the final note fades. Rooted in reflection and restraint, it’s a track that sits with you — meditating on loss, change, and the strange comfort of memories that refuse to loosen their grip. First conceptualised back in 2021, the song emerged from the aftermath of a long-term relationship. “It was written as

At Harvard Business School’s China Classroom in Chengdu, the future of music wasn’t framed as a dystopian algorithmic takeover — it was framed as a question of relevance. Snow Jiang (Snow.J), Founder and CEO of Cheerful Music and HBS alumna, returned to the programme as a featured case-study guest, guiding students through the company’s thinking behind The AI Future of the Music Industry. Her thesis was sharp, unsettling, and oddly optimistic. “With AI, music production is in

San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Sukie Mason has delivered a debut EP that’s as versatile as it is intimate. My Blue, Blue Sky traverses folk, blues, indie rock, jazz, and Americana, each track a small story imbued with emotion and texture. “I don’t have a simple answer when people ask what kind of music I write,” Mason admits. “I love starting with a musical sound and finding lyrics and a melody to match it.” This ethos drives an EP that’s cinematic, personal, and soni

Ava Renn doesn’t ease you into Lightning Child —she throws the door open and lets the noise spill out. Clocking in at just over half an hour, the debut album is lean, feral, and unapologetically emotional, capturing an artist unafraid to sit with discomfort or let the guitars bite when they need to. There’s a rawness here that feels intentional rather than undercooked. Renn’s songwriting pulls from grief, desire, and self-reclamation, often within the same track, giving the a

Irène Schrader’s ECLIPSE feels like a deep breath taken somewhere between departure gates and late-night city streets, bringing serenity to the apparent chaos of a traveling lifestyle. The trilingual EP carries a subtle warmth that never forces itself forward; instead, it lingers, glowing softly through harmonized melodies and intimate vocal phrasing. There’s something deeply calming about the way Schrader lets these songs unfold, as if inviting the listener to drift rather

Close to Monday’s “Breakdown Simulations” feels less like a song and more like a psychological landscape — a place where pressure, beauty, and disintegration coexist. The duo construct a world of cold synths and cinematic tension, but inside it, a fragile heartbeat pulses. It’s the sound of self-control eroding into something strangely liberating. The track unfolds like a slow-motion implosion. Metallic textures shimmer over an anxious rhythm, while Anna’s voice — calm yet tr

There’s a luminous confidence at the heart of The Change , a sense that Neil Friedlander has fully embraced his voice and vision. The album flows effortlessly, each track a vignette of transformation, weaving together moments of introspection with lush indie-pop textures. From opening to closing, the record is both intimate and expansive. The production, courtesy of Chris Camilleri, balances warmth with clarity. Dreamlike synths, acoustic textures, and understated percussion

Pisgah’s Faultlines is a bold and emotionally resonant sophomore statement. From the outset, the album signals a willingness to confront difficult truths, opening with “Cumulonimbus,” where lush guitars and shimmering synths mirror the turbulence of its lyrical themes. Pisgah demonstrates an acute ability to merge indie-rock sensibilities with confessional storytelling, creating songs that feel both intimate and cinematic. Throughout the record, Pisgah navigates themes of tr
