Dozenz Returns with Their New Album ‘Be Someone’

Industrial-meets-alternative rock band Dozenz is back, and this time they’ve decided to smash alternative rock and electronic music together in a way that absolutely should not work—but somehow does. Their latest album is a ridiculous blend of raw emotion, industrial crunch, and sweeping cinematic nonsense, all wrapped up in a dark, moody aesthetic that somehow […]

If you’re a fan of introspective folk and beautifully restrained songwriting, Beloved is essential listening

Have you ever heard an album so delicate, so beautifully constructed, that it makes you feel like you should apologize to it for existing in its presence? That’s Beloved by David Schaefer. This is an album so soft and introspective it feels less like a collection of songs and more like the ghost of an

“If Seven Was a Number” Makes You Question Everything

It’s impossible to be able to define this record as one genre, one concept; it consists of tones found in one type of music, as well as beats and paces found in a completely different one. “If Seven Was a Number” sparks curiosity right from reading the album title alone.

Guess Pre’s “Clarity” Is Both Thoughtful and Performative

Composed of nine tracks of absolute wonder, “Clarity” is groovy, upbeat, yet raw and intimate at the same time – in other words, it provides clarity, an expression and a glimpse of Guess Pre’s mind divided in a handful of songs. To say this album is a ‘deep dive’ would be an understatement, as vulnerability

Telekinetic: the sound of beautiful things falling apart in slow motion.

Telekinetic by Twice Dark is a record so drenched in sorrowful grandeur that any artist might have to pause and take a deep breath just to fully enjoy the project. This isn’t just some synth-laden gothpop confection designed for casual toe-tapping. No, Telekinetic is pure gothic rock: cavernous guitars, deep basslines that crawl under your
