Down In The Deep by OLLA is a seething reflection of the challenges of love. It uses the conventions of its genre to tell its story, utilising subtle vocal manipulation and layers of synths to build this complex, dirty sound that contrasts the vocals in a cathartic way that impresses through its narrative and sonic […]
The Great Awakening by ERICK CASTRILLON is a fascinating look into the not-so-distant future, looking at the advent of generative AI. With all the chaos at OpenAi and our first introduction to Q*, there is some validity in this idea of an upcoming event horizon. The track uses deep synths and a guitar part to […]
Most people think cinnamon is cinnamon. One jar, one spice, done. But what’s sitting in the majority of American spice cabinets isn’t true cinnamon at all — it’s Cassia, a different plant that shares a name but tastes sharper, spicier, and nothing like what grows in Sri Lanka. That distinction matters more than most recipes […]
It’s 9 PM. You want something romantic but you’ve already abandoned two K-dramas by episode 3. You don’t want a two-hour film that demands your full emotional investment. You want stories that feel real, delivered in a format that respects your evening. About Love (О любви), the Russian anthology series on Netflix, positions itself as […]
The sticker price on a new Lamborghini Huracán EVO starts around $228,000. That number gets a lot of attention.

This review focuses on what the marketing materials skip. This is not financial advice. […]
Anthem for the Forgotten by Paul Marotto is a powerful track that details the immense challenges of addiction and mental illness, as well as the acute pain of loneliness. Although it is a cliche to talk about the isolating effect of modern life, I think it is pertinent to mention it anyway because it is […]
Destiny’s Road (Remix) by Gary Dranow showcases a clarity that sharpens all the aspects of the original, drawing it to new heights with its eighties rock charm. The first thing that jumps out when listening to Destiny’s Road is the crispness of the lead guitar. It’s played articulately, establishing the melodic core of the track […]
Fable by MIKHAIL DAKEN is an enigmatic and dark alt-rock, dark wave track that matches its energy beautifully with an intense music video that emphasises the key themes that make this piece so special. The sound DAKEN captures from beginning to end with this one is a tone of seething, dark power. The guitar layers […]
Strange Bird by WITTMAR is a bold melodic journey intertwining folk and country styling with a universal emotional core. Every track conveys this sense of awe through a generous sonic tapestry. It paints this vivid and diverse picture that changes from track to track. The opening track, Drops of Rain, exemplifies this unique sonic tapestry […]
Fill Your Boots (More Life) by EINSAM is an enigmatic and powerful Alt Rock track with a heavy psychedelic leaning that gives it a unique vibe. Reminding me a little of Kraftwerk, the track had this robotic, rigid structural tone that allows for a wonderful sense of contrast with the chaotic psychedelic energy that defines […]
