SONG PICK: INHALT - Alles

“Everything… is not enough” sings Philip Winiger in “Alles”, the new glorious single by San Francisco-based trio INHALT. The track keeps it with INHALT’s signature sound of pronounced beats, lots of (analog) synths and cryptic lyrics often sung in German. Like no other song by INHALT, this one though

SONG PICK: Heather Jayne - Shadows

It may be because I listened to “Pornography” yesterday, but the guitar in “Shadows” by U.K. singer/songwriter Heather Jayne has a distinctive The Cure feel to it, which turns the song clearly to the dark side. Add ominous synth sounds and Heather’s wavering vocals to it and

They are still getting made, grande alt rock songs with irresistible hooks and a clear message, all wrapped in one big swirl of sound and emotions. “Parasite” is the new single by English four-piece Fossway who call Gateshead, near Newscastle their home. While I get the comparisons with famous British

SONG PICK: Me Not You - Imagine That

“Imagine That” is the new song by New York duo Me Not You, written under the impression of yet another school shooting. Even without knowing this, the track is a deeply moving piece that lets ambient electronics clash with heavy guitar rock. But after reading the band’s statement, it

Swirly, jangly guitars, paired with an urgency of the exiting kind and alluring, desert dry vocals, this describes “Words Mean Nothing” in a nutshell. “Words Mean Nothing” is the new single by English quartet Among The Citizens. The vibe we are getting and from what we have learned about this

Music

SONG PICK: The Solarists - CRYPTK

Without doing the saxophone player any wrong because they are totally going for a jazzy vibe here, the sax pieces also remind me of the sounds of Central Park in Summer when you find someone with a sax in their hands and playing some tunes on almost every corner. What

VIDEO PREMIERE: The FMs - Extender

“Extender” does not dilly-dally around but makes it unmistakably clear that the setting is out of our usual comfort zone, with its brooding, slightly disturbing sounds, evoking the vibe from “Blade Runner” to “The Fifth Element” and the likes.
