Dora Lachaise and Jonni Slater - Sign on the Door

While being quite different from one another, Dora Lachaise and Jonni Slater have something in common: they are both skilled at producing captivating soundscapes that are both cinematic and emotive. Their most recent song, "Sign on the Door," transports the listener on a musical adventure that alternates between tender, intimate moments and soaring, epic crescendos. With music that is exquisitely eerie, unearthly, yet at the same time intimate and heartfelt, both artists have powerfully and gracefully displayed their gamut of emotions. Together, they have produced a distinctive, potent sound that is uplifting and emotive.


Kittenhead - Home

A musical triumph, bold and unique, with a dark and daring sound, California-based Kittenhead has caused a stir with their most recent release, "Home,".  The group offers an energising and memorable listening experience. The song's earworm hooks and melodies are set against an appealing backdrop of driving rhythms and hip-gyrating beats. Yet the richness of their lyrics is what really makes this band stand out. This band is certain to make waves in the music industry for years to come because of their unwavering honesty that cuts to the very core of our being. 


The Bicycats - Long Game

LA based, The Bicycats', lead by the talented Zachary Bernstein, has made a compelling contribution to the folk-rock genre with his release ‘Long Game’. Being one of the finest tunes from his Album ‘Splendor Within Reason’, the song has an immediate allure due to its sense of authenticity and honesty. The acoustic guitar and Bernstein's voice blend together to provide a pleasing and soulful sound. ‘Long Game’ is a fantastic illustration of the album's contemplative approach, with its dreamlike quality and melancholic tone, and is guaranteed to connect with listeners on a very intimate level.


R.U.R - Something Else

‘Something Else’ by R.U.R is a combination of a haunting melody, poignant lyrics, and an ambient production which is sure to leave a lasting impression on the listener. The song's sparse instrumentation, and a haunting vocal melody, creates an eerie and melancholic atmosphere that perfectly complements the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "I saw something else" adds to the sense of foreboding and mystery, keeping the listener gripped and engaged throughout. The song's powerful imagery and storytelling, which immerses the listener in a world of doubt and yearning, are undeniably its best assets. Moreover, a passionate and emotive vocal performance has given the song's vivid imagery an additional depth and character while also bringing the lyrics to life, making it impactful to a broad audience.

Prangin Mantis - King Dave

The well-written and catchy Garage Rock n' Roll song "KING DAVE" demonstrates ‘Prangin Mantis' musical prowess. The song is a great addition to any playlist because of its relatable lyrics and ear-catching rhythm. The song's highlight is the singer's polished vocal performance, whose melodic flips and turns effortlessly communicate the song's narrative. A captivating and lively rhythm is created by the jangly guitars and gritty rolling drums, encapsulating the essence of Garage Rock n’ Roll, and keeping the listener engaged from beginning to end. The catchy bass line gives the music an additional degree of depth and unifies everything into a cohesive whole.
