Dear listener of great beats, get ready because Kyra Morgan has released her pumping dance pop single ‘Addicted 2 U’. Conceptually, the new single is a metaphor for addiction in the context of romance. Familiar, isn’t it? Only Kyra Morgan does it through a club and pumping sound that immediately captures you.
I adore the pulsating rhythm that turns inner chaos into movement. Dance as therapy, and the dance floor becomes a place to release pain. There’s something wonderful about that, maybe for me, it works better than quietly breaking bones in circles to melancholic pop. If you need a pumping and hypnotic dance pop track, then ‘Addicted 2 U’ by Kyra Morgan is exactly what you need!
There are bands that chase trends. And there are those who simply do their own thing, and sooner or later, the trends themselves come to bow to them. Witty Tarbox (Cody Tarbox, Alex Khoury, Colin Gray, and Seth Bykowski), it seems, belong to the latter. Their third studio album ‘Midnight Sun’ consisting of eight tracks already holds something paradoxical in its title. The Midnight Sun is a phenomenon where darkness never falls, and the album’s sound constantly teeters on a delicate edge.
I love how from the very first track ‘Whippoorwill’ a groovy country rhythm and remarkable vocals unfold. With ‘Holy Cadillac’ and ‘Lake Effect Surf’ the melody expands into fast country rock’n’roll, and the live vocals add a sense of presence as if you’re at a live concert. In ‘Fentanyl Crawl’ the vocals grow stronger, the melody with its complex rhythm grips you instantly, while the final ‘The Nowhere’ unveils the band’s more experimental and dreamy side. Incredible! Add your favorite tracks to your playlist so you don’t lose such an awesome country rock’n’roll sound!
If you are looking for a reinterpretation of a familiar sound, then ‘No Puedo Esperar’ by Ministry of The Fence is exactly what you need. The musician offers a look at Spanish music, but from a new angle. Conceptually, it is a new view on conflicting emotions in relationships. In ‘No Puedo Esperar,’ you will find a completely unique mix of genres and styles, from orchestral classical sound to pop music and Eastern motifs.
The music of Ministry of The Fence is both unusual and unique, especially in the cool production that allows you to feel the sound on a completely different level. Incredibly stylish and cool! I like that Ministry of The Fence brings new sound to established genres, expanding the possibilities of music and offering something truly unique and unrepeatable. Add ‘No Puedo Esperar’ so you don’t lose such a cool sound!
There is a special type of releases that require only one thing from the listener to stop and be in the moment. This is exactly the kind of release that Blood Tape EP by ShiShi belongs to. Five tracks filled with concept and meaning, capable of turning your worldview upside down. You know, the thing is that the world has gotten used to music as a background for everything that surrounds it in everyday life. Music for rest, music for concentration. And it is exactly this understanding that makes Blood Tape EP by ShiShi such a sharp switch. ShiShi builds a space in which the background stops existing, you know? It simply doesn’t exist. The entire Blood Tape EP is a space where you need to be completely, without remainder or indulgence. The EP pulls you inside and holds you there for all the time of its sound.
Twenty minutes. That’s how long Blood Tape EP lasts. It’s the time during which a dark electronic lo-fi story unfolds, and it feels like a short film somewhere beyond the planet. I like how ShiShi works with this duration of five tracks, there’s a sense of space inside the EP that’s much larger than its runtime. And I think it’s because every layer here carries a function. The air in the mix, the soft transitions, the dynamics of energy and tone. All this creates a very interesting flow and a very cool wave of electronic sound.’
This is where the philosophy of ShiShi’s sound begins. Within limitations, he searches for freedom and paths of self-expression. He tests how sound can transform within constraints, how structure creates meaning, not the other way around. This curious observation finds its reflection in a track like ‘Intro’. You will notice how the melody changes, how the very structure of the track creates meaning and fills the mind with curious ideas and images.
I like how the track ‘Blood Tape’, with a duration of 5 minutes and 13 seconds, completely changes the atmosphere created by ‘Intro’. It’s a deep, heavy mix with dark tones and many textures. The vocal balances between commercial pop sound and endless regret. It sounds very cool and incredibly confident. There is quite a lot of synthesizer work in Blood Tape EP, painted in completely different colors. Layered and cinematic, they work like lighting in a frame. You know, when the picture is perfect, you don’t understand why, but once you change the color correction – everything is lost. ShiShi maintains this balance steadily throughout the entire EP. Cinematic quality here is an integral part.
I like how in ‘Doomnight’ the melody breaks and turns into a dark chaos of sound with overloaded textures. Pads slowly distort the structure while the vocals support this sonic flow. You know, such a cool atmosphere truly grabs you and gives the impression of powerful, incredibly strong meaning. Just close your eyes and let the world of ShiShi completely capture you! You know, with a touch of psychedelia, ‘Doomnight’ becomes a turning point in the EP. Then ‘Rocket Ship to Hell’ sounds like a state of inner tension. It’s about boundless possibilities and also about being lost in this ocean, when desire turns into apathy. What I like about ‘Rocket Ship to Hell’ is that the hazy electronic pads resemble whirlwinds that change the track’s structure. Here ShiShi works at the intersection of opposites, with a full understanding of the mechanics: darkness is needed precisely so that the rhythm feels sharper, and melancholy serves to keep the track’s center of gravity. Incredibly stylish electronics!
I was completely hooked by ‘Storm Clouds Gather’, a track with its almost ritual gloom. You know, it’s that very moment when it already seems that there is no way out, but you still keep looking for it. The commercial vocal is absolutely gripping, and the commercial vocal of strong dark dark pop sound makes you look at the EP in a new way. Twenty minutes built with the understanding that good music lives in details. ShiShi has this confidence from the first second to the final track. Blood Tape EP leaves us wanting more, and that’s exactly the feeling good short formats leave behind. ShiShi builds a world and then closes the door before you have time to fully live in it, and you have to listen to the release again on repeat. And you know, that’s exactly the feeling you expect from truly good music. Be sure to add your favorite tracks from Blood Tape EP to your playlist and follow ShiShi so you don’t miss even more cool music.
Hey ShiShi! Thank you for releasing such interesting electronic music. I really love your format and style – darkness, commercial sound, a bit of psychedelia, and lo-fi vibes. It’s cosmic, but with a special sound. I truly disconnected from reality while listening to your release, and it was so cool. I’ll definitely show your release to everyone so they can also listen to such great sound. I love it and want more, yeah!

Dear listeners of cool rock, I have a completely new post-punk track for you ‘Sweet Thomas’ by Bat Flattery. The song came out today, April 3, and it really is worth to listen. I want to draw your attention to the powerful lyrics that already right away make the song stand out, and the bright mix of styles in the arrangement create a completely unexpected sound.
I like how ‘Sweet Thomas’ slowly unfolds, with cool punk rock vocals, while the arrangement stays within the frame of nostalgic post-punk. And you know, there’s a slight feeling of melancholy and an effect of surprise when the sound bursts with fiery post-hardcore energy in the chorus. If you love such bright and unpredictable punk rock, then ‘Sweet Thomas’ is definitely the track you need to keep in your playlist. Be sure to subscribe to Bat Flattery so you don’t miss even more unique and vivid tracks from the band! They’re really worth following!
Let me introduce to you the metal rock band Insipidus and their new progressive death metal album ‘Nearest Dusk’. The album opens without warning strong powerful you know as if it had already been playing somewhere before on an underground stage where the 90s still live in the body of a guitar riff. I like that ‘Nearest Dusk’ grew out of street performances and tiny sets spreading its wings into a full studio form.
Seven tracks rush by with precision and speed. ‘A Hill of Ash’ instantly captures attention. By ‘Impossible Choice’ the tempo turns into a furious storm and the final track ‘Red Sand’ leads into experimentation the guitars change rhythm the bass becomes the pulse and the air around the vocals thickens into a tangible tension. It was all stunning.
Nearest Dusk is an album that can easily be placed alongside the best releases of the new wave of melodic death metal clean confident and incredibly alive. Absolutely recommend it!
There is something almost therapeutic in the way Jane Angora handle the live format. And their new track ‘Sous les plis de la nature (Live Session au Studio Pigalle)’ perfectly proves it.
The warmth of wood, a random sigh of the microphone, the feeling of being present in the moment, that’s everything Sous les plis de la nature has, and that’s why it grabs you so much. You feel it too, right? I love live recordings because the imperfection of sound becomes part of the language.
The French chanson of Jane Angora merges with modern commercial folk, the fragility of acoustics, and melodic rock. All this creates a unique sound and unforgettable effect. Definitely add Sous les plis de la nature ‘(Live Session au Studio Pigalle)’ by Jane Angora to your playlist so you don’t miss it!
