With their new single Threshold, Portland Maine’s based rock outfit Moments Of sound like a band standing squarely in their stride. And taking a big step forward.
Mixing the sound of early 2000’s emo with the dynamics of modern alt rock, this new track is both fresh and familiar, as if designed for equal parts packed club singalongs and solitary late night drives. Continue reading
George Collins’s latest single “By the Time” already stands out for its understated Americana. It’s an acoustic rooted outlaw confessional that trades bitterness for quiet resolve.
With the release of the Official Music Video today, the song’s emotional world feels even more tangible, as it unfolds like a short story on screen.
Shot on location at Max’s Steakhouse in Prague, the video leans into the very image Collins imagined while writing the track – a solitary figure at a bar, not burning a letter, but writing one. A “Dear John” note marking the end of a love affair. Continue reading
Gun-Shy Butterfly release a brand new single today called “Lose Someone”. It’s a song that channels the messy aftermath of a toxic relationship.
But instead of drowing in heartbreak, it roars with defiance and a fierce self respect. At the heart of the track is a biting guitar riff that sets the tone immediately like a full throttle declaration. Continue reading
Reeya Banerjee’s final single before the release of her album This Place is a soaring, echo drenched anthem about grown up love, making tough choices and the bittersweet ache of moving on.
“Upstate Rust” draws its title from a passing comment during Banerjee’s NYC years. Something of an offhand phrase that became a personal badge of identity, and which is now the emotional centerpiece of this record. Continue reading
There’s a stillness in “I Am a Wave” that somehow says everything.
As the final track on Molly Thomas’s upcoming album Tumble Home, it arrives like a quiet exhale after a long and emotional journey – soft but resolute, delicate and yet full of depth.
Co written and performed by Thomas and longtime collaborator Ken Rose, this song is both a gentle parting and a profound summation, speaking to the impermanence of connection and the inevitability of returns. Continue reading
On her long awaited debut album Debo Ray, the Boston based artist bursts on to the scene. This is a record that is both reclamation and revelation. And it is a fearless one too with its exploration of musical genres as well as themes of identity, truth and artistic power.
From the opening notes of “Tell Me What You Want,” Ray makes her intentions clear. The track folds slick R&B rhythms into a spitfire rap verse, a bold and immediate sign that Ray’s musical instincts refuse to stay in one lane. Continue reading
There’s something uniquely brave about making quiet music amidst the noise of all the technology and the world we live in today.
With Night Mist, veteran composer and pianist Peter Calandra leans all the way into soft restraint, as he creates a gentle and glowing collection of piano based meditations. Across eleven tracks, Calandra distills a lifetime of musical experience all the way from Broadway to television soundtracks and cinematic scores, into something deeply personal, uncluttered and profoundly serene.

There’s nothing delicate about Gun-Shy Butterfly’s latest single, “Manchild,” released today.
Despite the name, this Philadelphia based duo isn’t here to flutter quietly. They are here to explode.
With distortion drenched guitar hooks, crashing drums and a dual vocal attack that balances melody and rage, “Manchild” arrives like a clenched fist through the speaker. Continue reading
In “Morphic Resonance”, Ben Neill doesn’t just compose a track. He constructs an alternate physics for music itself. The piece, named after biologist Rupert Sheldrake’s controversial theory that memory exists in nature through morphic fields, unfolds like a living system.
It’s cyclical, reactive and quietly radical. It’s not a song you hear once and remember – it’s one that seems to remember you. Continue reading
