With honest lyricism that deals with depression, anxiety and sexual identity, Kanina’s Ode to All Odds puts herself in the spotlight with its powerful songs of the modern world full of hard-hitting lyrics and tight atmospheric instrumentals.

By paving new sonic horizons through looking back, Super Flower Scene reveals a path perhaps indicative for Winona Dryver’s way forward.

As much as I love heartfelt pop ballads with steady build-ups, Hold It does not do it for me at all. I sincerely hope it does hold "it", whatever it may be, for other people. Sadly, it's such a sub-par song, delivered in a sub-par way. I really hope to hear much better stuff from kinny in the future - there definitely is some potential, but right now as an artiste he is beyond raw.

Holding their refined approach and lyrical worldview, it would be a lie to say that FERS didn't hold immense promise. Sadly at this point, that dreaminess years awaited feels less transportive than a sound unfortunately dated in finely-tuned Strymon pedals.

Very much in line with the Mitski-influenced colour of kotoji’s previous singles, the single builds upon the artistic narrative established in her “Prequel Era” – detailing heartbreak, doubt, and self-destruction.

KAZZMIR's best release so far – its stylings remind me of 80s rock staple Jane's Addiction, while the bassline reminds me of Jane's Addiction's fellow 80s contemporaries, Talk Talk.

A dazzlingly enjoyable debut, Tangent bands together two artists from starkly different musical backgrounds in an experimental affair that reaps the best of what both artists have to offer.

March of the Infidels is a marked improvement to Solvant’s work - I wish it just stood out slightly more.

Going all out with a keen pop sensibility, dense vocal arrangements, and head-bopping trap rhythms, Chriskris’ debut is an inspired take on soulful R&B-tinged hip-hop.

Armed with a Microbrute and Volca Drum in hand, visual and performance artist ila’s first sound-based works manifest themselves in a spiritual collection of techno-adjacent beatscapes.

Although an impressive feat of DIY indie rock songwriting and production, Maneloren’s first single unfortunately squanders its potential with its lacklustre vocal performance.

Summoning woozy textures and idiosyncratic sampling over steady downtempo beats, MZA weaves a hypnotic, kaleidoscopic listening experience on Eldritch Terror (Prelude).

Evaporating the busyness of his former aliases (e.g. Yllis) into ephemeral mist, W. Y. Huang’s new evocative ode displays an artist finding his way through a new uncertain future. It’s a poetic signal for a new beginning.

Microchip Terror’s undated sound fills the imagination with the terrors of a System Shock-esque world – with B-movie body horror and haunted Nintendo cartridges alike.

Remaking his first album, Theron’s The Boy Who Felt Forever Blue traverses tales of friendship, coming-of age and heart-on-sleeve confessionalism with ambitious, winding epics.

Honey, Baby is a jangle anthem that soars. Even when robbed of the opportunity to play at SXSW, Grrrl Gang ignore their bummer in Honey, Baby’s fun, lively absurdity.

The latest single from nu-metal outfit Trust The Chaos, they seem to be trying out something new here, but it seems to be lacking...a little something.

With his emotional vulnerability, husky production choices, and a unique delivery, mary sue brings you falling down insomnia’s rabbit hole with him.

A sensitive detour that melts down his ferocious, breakcore-tinged facade, deførmed melts down to an oddball indie rock ode to his prospective takes on love.

Alt-rap collective Unknown Radicals make their return with a thumping tribute to pre-pandemic club-going that doesn’t shy away from partying’s seedier and more unpleasant sides. Much like a night of getting smashed, it’s as exhilarating as it is nasty.
