EP Spotlight – Fleur Geurl – “Jupiter Return”
Sometimes I wonder how it’s possible, with all the music out there that exists, that there could be something new that genuinely resonates in a way that nothing else has, and then I come across a work of art like the new EP from Fleur Geurl, and I’m reminded of the creative power few of…

Album Spotlight – D’Addio
The self-titled debut album from multi-instrumentalist D’Addio is a wonderfully experimental sonic experience.

The London artist is a self-proclaimed ‘reverb enthusiast’, and her self produced catalogue features an array of hybrid electro-pop, indie-rock music, her…

Acraea – Clockshifter
One beautiful piece to come out at the end of 2021 was the release ‘Clockshifter’ from the avant-garde synth-pop duo ACRAEA out of Brooklyn, USA. A mesmerising piece packed with gorgeously delicate effects, and the intimate and performative vocals of Leora Mandel, the track will have you wondering who’s sci-fi fantasy wonderland you may have…
