New Album
Album – On This Material Moment
Artist – Me Lost Me
Top Tracks – Compromise!, Ancient Summer, Take it on Board
Genre – Experimental Rock, Art Pop, Ambient Psych
My take – This one's abstract but emotionally grounded—think Cate Le Bon meets Bjork with a dose of dreamlike unease. It's music for when you’re in your head but looking for something new to latch onto. Some of the tracks can feel a bit sparse and cold, definitely not background music—this one rewards attention.
New Album
Album – Soak
Artist – Black Honey
Top Tracks - Carroll Avenue, Soak, Shallow, To The Grave
Genre – Indie Rock, Alt-Pop, Glam Grunge
My take – Black Honey keep leveling up. Soak leans into pop with a Brit-rock backbone—a breathy, pop vocal combined with a heavy indie-rock hook. It's catchy harkening back to 90s No Doubt at times, but there’s still some grit under the gloss.
New (to me) Album
Album – The Vandalist
Artist – Noga Erez
Top Tracks – Vandalist, NOGASTEIN, P.L.E.A.S.E.
Genre – Electro-Pop, Industrial Hip-Hop, Alt-R&B
My take – Noga Erez turns up the voltage. This one’s feral, political and clubby. Glitchy beats, heavy bass, and vocals that jump from whispers to war cries. Chaotic in the best way as if Cypress Hill gave birth to Billie Eilish in a Tel Aviv warehouse. I imagine that South Beach is rocking out to this one right now.
New (to me) Album
Album – Rebuilding The Mountain
Artist – Royal Thunder
Top Tracks – The Knife, Now Here - No Where, My Ten, The King
Genre – Heavy Rock, Sludge Blues, Psychedelic Metal
My take – This is cathartic, heavy, and soulful all at once. Mlny Parsonz has one of the best voices in rock—raspy, raw, and full of ache. The riffs hit hard, but it’s the emotion that lingers. A mountain worth climbing.
