God Fearing Man by Adam Atom is a document of change, a mid-step in a longer walk
It’s not every day that an EP opens with the emotional weight of someone buying a Bible and somehow, doesn’t make you roll your eyes. But God Fearing Man, the latest from Atlanta-based artist Adam Atom, is just that: a spiritual coming-of-age story disguised as a debut. And miraculously, it works. The premise sounds like

New Laconia’s Coming Home is an act of redemption for those who strive for a new life
When words are not enough to weave and narrate a story, music is another way to console one’s weary soul. For New Laconia, their latest release Coming Home is a perfect example for this. Every note is splattered like paint on an empty canvas to tell a story, and it’s filled with emotions even words

Velvet Coffin by Neverlyn isn’t here to fix anything. It’s here to validate the mess
Every now and then, a debut album comes along that sounds like it’s not just about an identity crisis. Rather, it is one. Neverlyn’s Velvet Coffin doesn’t shy away from that. It walks straight into the emotional demolition site that was the post-pandemic era and sets up a drum kit. And somehow, miraculously, it works.

Preternatural Dreams by Matthew Shadley Band is just craftsmanship and conviction and a healthy respect for the listener’s intelligence
Let’s talk about effort. Not flashy, billion-dollar, CGI-on-every-frame effort. Not the effort where a guy buys twenty guitars and shoves them through a pedalboard the size of an aircraft carrier. I’m talking about real effort: the kind that happens in basements, back bedrooms, and stubborn hearts. The kind of effort where someone quietly decides, “I
“San Diego” by The New Citizen Kane Is A Reflection Of The Past
Have you ever had something happen in a distinct place all at once, leaving you conflicted on what to think, and whether or not to cherish or move past it? In this song, memories and emotions are revisited, of what seems to be a string of joyous moments leading up to heartbreak. The New Citizen

And in a world where everyone’s screaming for your attention, Gord by Alex McCulloch feels like a miracle
Gord, the new EP from Scarborough singer-songwriter Alex McCulloch, is not optimized for Spotify’s “Sad Indie Girl Crying” playlist or your roommate’s vinyl collection of things they don’t actually listen to. It doesn’t care about algorithmic viability. It’s not chasing sync deals or viral moments. It’s just… here. Quiet. Unassuming. And devastating. This record didn’t
RSAI’s “Let The Good Times Roll” Joins In The Disco Classics
Living for the moment, let the rhythm unfold! “Let The Good Times Roll” is a combination of the straightforwardness of disco music and the complexities of every element that makes up the entire song.

There are so many ways to write and curate an album, and Leeds decided to transport you into a place where time is slow enough to let you breathe deeply.

“To Be Near” by Maddy Low is vulnerability laid bare, no filter, no flair
Let’s be honest: most love songs are either shouting from rooftops or weeping into a bathtub. What makes Maddy Low’s “To Be Near” remarkable is that it does neither and still manages to hurt in the best way. At just 18, Maddy Low (who already has award-winning film score work under her belt, because apparently
