Toronto alternative artist Teagan Johnston shares “My Luck,” an introspective, melancholic track that explores feelings of unluckiness, disconnection, and the strange dynamics we attract when life seems to stack the odds against us. Written during a period of creative pause, the song channels both heartache and observation, questioning whether feeling unlucky makes it easier to … Continue reading
There’s something truly refreshing about “Palomino,” the latest single from guitarist and composer Todd Mosby. Where much of indie music is leaning into lo-fi grit, Mosby is taking a different path – one paved with rhythm, colour and a sense of movement that is cinematic in essence.
Taken from his forthcoming album American Heartland, “Palomino” has a sense of buoyancy that is hard to resist. Built around a brisk samba groove and a galloping bossa nova pulse, this song glides forward with effortless charm. Mosby’s electric guitar dances lightly across the arrangement, threading melodic phrases that feel playful yet precise. Continue reading
With Recalibration, Amana Melome’ returns with a record that feels thoughtful, personal and refreshingly unhurried. Rather than announcing itself loudly, the album unfolds gently revealing an artist who has taken the time to reflect, reset and reconnect with her creative instincts. Continue reading
George Collins has never been shy about celebrating the brighter side of life, and with his latest single “My Island Life,” he doubles down on that sunny disposition with a track that feels tailor made for warm breezes, slow afternoons and the gentle rhythm of the tide. If some songs are written for the open road, this one is written for the hammock.
Some songs try to make love feel larger than life. With “You and Me,” Ian Ward does the opposite, focusing instead on the quiet moments that tend to matter more in the long run.
This song unfolds at an unhurried pace, with a softness in the arrangment. Ward’s vocals are what sit right in the midst of this atmosphere. Given his background in theater, he could easily lean into dramatic phrasing but here he keeps things completely grounded. Continue reading

12090 A.D. conjures a world where time collapses—where the neon-lit shadows of late 70s Berlin bleed into the velvet darkness of a Lynch fever dream. Led by visionary drummer/composer Tim Kuhl and downtown icon Anna Copa Cabanna, this Brooklyn-based synth-driven dream pop duo crafts sonic landscapes that feel both ancient and futuristic, intimate and infinite. … Continue reading
Imagine if intimacy had its own soundtrack. Imagine if choosing connection in a world that feels fractured, loud and unstable could sound like a song not a manifesto. Imagine if that song didn’t just talk about togetherness but made it feel radical, urgent and absolutely necessary. Well it does, and the artist doing it right now is Mike Cykoski, under his project A Is for Atom.
His latest single, “Closer,” is proof that holding on can be an act of rebellion. The track opens with a subtle, restless pulse that might feel familiar at first, but it quickly draws you in with its layering shimmering guitars and electronic textures over a rhythm that’s both steady and alive.
The lyrics are intimate, the kind of storytelling that pulls you into someone else’s private world without ever feeling voyeuristic. Imperfect lovers, nervous and restless, lean into each other against the noise of the city aware that words can wound and distance can grow. And still, they move closer. Continue reading
