Hailing from Indianapolis, Wishy drew attention in 2024 with their debut album Triple Seven , blending shoegaze, dream-pop, and indie rock into a vivid sonic tapestry. Led by Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites, the album's songs reflect the quiet frustrations of small-town life, youthful longings, and the tangled emotions of love.

Planet Popstar – A Journey in Stardust Released in 2025, the Planet Popstar EP continues Wishy’s musical evolution.

Bubbles float across the stage, inflatable sea creatures bounce around, boxers dance on one side while a vocalist in neon sunglasses takes the spotlight… Welcome to the “Gelliverse.” And at the heart of this universe is Gelli Haha. Real name Angel Abaya, she emerges from the quiet of Idaho and steps into the wild rhythm of Los Angeles. Her debut album Switcheroo, arriving June 27, 2025, doesn’t just make you dance — it peels off a mask with every beat. “Piss Artist” – Out of a Colorful Mess One of the album’s standout tracks, “Piss Artist,” sprays fluorescent paint over traditional pop structures. It fuses the anarchic energy of Devo, the funky chaos of Remi Wolf, and the playful spirit of Chai into one melting pot. But make no mistake — this isn’t imitation. This is the doorway into Gelli’s own universe. Is it fun? Absolutely. Is it chaotic? Entirely. But this chaos doesn’t empty your head — it pulls you in. Gelliverse – Not Just a Stage, But a Storytelling Medium When Gelli H...

If there's someone walking under streetlights with eyes always searching elsewhere, it's Samia. Bloodless sounds like her voice cutting through the night: quiet but burning from within, delicate yet sharp enough to slice through anything it touches. This isn’t just an indie-pop album. It’s a world where sentences fall like blades, and synths spread like the night. Each track feels like a line hastily scribbled in the corner of a diary—memorized before it could be erased. “Sea Lions” – For Those Who Scream in Silence With a track like “Sea Lions” opening the album, there’s no need to speak. Samia embraces loneliness like a dance partner in this song. The melody begins gently, then suddenly surges with emotion—not piercing your eardrums, but cracking through your chest. She doesn’t explain; she makes you feel. The Silence Between the Words Bloodless turns heartbreaks, late-night walks, and 4 a.m. “How are you?” texts into melody. There are no screams in this album—but...

Simple guitar tones flow beneath, intertwining with tender vocals, creating a familiar yet fresh feeling. Tenci’s Journey: Lone...

New York never sleeps. And neither does Been Stellar. Five young souls born into this city took its noise, wrapped it around their guitar strings, and screamed it into the night with Scream from New York, NY . This isn't just an album. It’s the sound of Brooklyn’s echoes, taxi horns blaring into the void, fluorescent lights flickering in subway stations. Been Stellar takes the garage rock fury of the early 2000s and runs it through today’s gritty romanticism and a stone-solid production. With Dan Carey behind the boards, their sound shakes more than just walls—it shakes us, too. The Heartbeats of Modern Chaos Every track on the album carries the tension of growing up in the city. “Pumpkin” hangs low like smoke in a basement show. “All in One” finds you staring at the ceiling in a cramped apartment, wondering where it all went sideways. Sam Slocum doesn’t sing—he unloads. Words are jammed in his throat, but they have to come out, somehow. The guitars are aggressive but sharp....

It all started with a Nirvana song. For a 13-year-old kid who felt the weight of the world on his shoulders, Kurt Cobain’s voice wasn’t just a song—it was a way out. Now 20, he’s returning to that noise. But this time, it’s louder, messier, and more honest. New York’s Favorite Darling is exactly that kind of album. Not quite a masterpiece, not quite a closing chapter—this one’s an open notebook. Raw, scattered, and emotionally timestamped. “Emotion is Everything. Genre is a Myth.” From the restless synth melodies of The 1975 to the lo-fi distortion of Smashing Pumpkins, from Third Eye Blind’s 90s hangover to Brian Eno’s textured atmospheres—there are fingerprints of them all in this record. But it’s not about the references. This album wants to make you feel , even if you don’t feel like him. And in doing so, it leans not on structure, but on sentiment. “At 18, I felt invincible. At 19, I was lost. At 20, I’m in between.” New York’s Favorite Darling isn’t just an indie rock r...

Some albums, the moment you listen to them, draw you in and never let you go. Thee Black Boltz is exactly that kind of album. Written by Tunde Adebimpe, the iconic vocalist of TV on the Radio, as he steps into his solo career, this album is not just music, but a story of loss and rebirth. The Electronic Embodiment of Loss After the dark days of the pandemic and the loss of his brother, Thee Black Boltz emerged as an album that is not only about loss but also an expression of the strength and resilience that rise from it. Through his music, Adebimpe creates an electronic and rhythmic reflection of grief and loss. By blending many genres from synth-pop to punk-funk, reggae to industrial rock, he transforms grief into a danceable mourning ritual. Music here is not just a form of release, but a process of healing and rebuilding. "Ate the Moon" and "Somebody New": Emotional and Experimental Depth The opening track "Ate the Moon" immediately catches atte...

Some bands appear, leave a mark, and then disappear. WU LYF is one of those bands. They disbanded in 2012, leaving behind a veil of mystery. No one ever fully understood what happened, but now, 13 years later, they have suddenly returned. And their silence is broken with A New Life Is Coming —not just any comeback, but something far more profound. The Meaning of Their Return WU LYF’s music has always avoided grand statements.
