ANIQO - Vivre Libre

“Vivre Libre” refers to the moment when things fall into place, and you can see the end of a struggle. Everyone one of us can probably come up with multiple events where such a breakthrough cannot come soon enough but for Berlin-based musician Anita Goß aka ANIQO this also refers

BERRIES - Wall of Noise

BERRIES are Holly (guitar/vocals), Lauren (bass) and Lucie (drums) from London. Their new song “Wall of Noise” is classic, fuzzy guitar rock, which works well against any thought distortion in your head.

Almost exactly two years ago the Albany, NY-based indie rock duo Laveda embarked on a tour leading to SXSW, including a glamglare showcase. Then you-know-what happened, and we were all stopped in our tracks. It is a manifest of resilience that Laveda is back to do it again, including showcases

Q&A with Anastave

Originally based in NYC, the singer, songwriter, and producer Anastave moved to Berlin to find new inspiration to follow up her 2016 excellent debut album “From the Other Side of the Fire.” Life is rarely straightforward, so a few years went by until she was ready to release new music.

Grace Ives - Loose

The state of mind that “Loose” feels probably familiar to many even if it manifests itself differently than described here. What is new is the joy and energy that the electric production adds to the matter. Whatever Brooklyn singer, songwriter, and producer Grace Ives is going through, she certainly is

Grae - Forget You

Anastave - Cover the Dust

2022 seems to be a new start in many ways and so it seems fitting that we see the first new song from Berlin-via-NYC artist Anastave. We remember her well for the brilliant 2016 album “From the Other Side of the Fire,” which takes cues from 90s-style trip hop. With

Things are rarely alright in the musical world of Irish singer, songwriter, and producer HOST.

ARY - My Awe Sustains

Kayce Laine - Another Side [Premiere]

C'Est Karma - Bubblegum [Video]

This song is about friendship and is called “Bubblegum,” but don’t expect a cheesy pop tune from C’Est Karma, the musical project of Karma Catena. The Amsterdam-based singer/songwriter had a different kind of production in mind: her declaration of friendship is glitchy, dramatic, and messy like life

Warpaint - Champion

Warpaint - Champion

By now Californian band Warpaint is a phenomenon. At a time of solo artists and bands that are merely collectives around a single mastermind, they stuck together as a creative unit since 2004.
