On “the center’s falling out,” Poppy's either trying to pry open the gates of hell or keep them shut. At the risk of upsetting the purists, but it moves with the frenzied ferocity of Pantera’s “Use My Third Arm” or Slayer’s “Dittohead,” #musiciansky #music #indiemusic #metalcore

Review: On “Lovely Bukhaar,” Ali Sethi twists through several shades without losing sight of his Pakistani roots: the distorted vocal, sirens, sultry groove, and Latin guitar paint a cosmopolitan figure and not one heeled from expensive restaurants and yacht decks. #musiciansky #music #indiemusic

Review: On “head2toe,” ZORA bases a booming track about personal renewal around a smiling, high-life woodwind melody. The cut-and-paste/collage feel of the track mirrors the process she went through to reassemble herself after years of assault and abuse. #musiciansky #music #indiemusic

Review: On “Bombs Away,” Thirsty Curses stomp so hard you can see things shaking off the amps. Somewhere near the Mudhoney side of late-‘80s indie rock/grunge, best described as an elephant on rollerskates. #thirstycurses

On “Ups And Downs,” moe. enters in a tone that’s already a little somber for the band before breaking into full-blown catharsis. @atorecords.bsky.social #moetheband

On “lo que dura la canción,” a woman exhales MAGNA and Cuco like breath on a cold morning. Moderately psychedelic, yet impossibly breezy–distant ghosts of the Doobie Brothers or Fleetwood Mac. Zarpazo Records/HYBE Latin

Review: On “This Is Who I Am,” #Celeste provides a stunning accompaniment #TheDayOfTheJackal Similar to Nina Simone’s “Feelin’ Good,” it matches the series’ assassin profile to a worrying degree. Intimate but lush, the production evokes the first 2 Portishead albums yet weaves past trip-hop tropes.
