Brian Connolly debuts as The Tacet Mode with a meticulously produced indie-rock record that fuses 1980s atmospheric lineage and contemporary clarity. Produced by Alex Newport with guitar work from Leo Abrahams, Not How You Color maps transformation, ego, and authenticity across fourteen tracks of controlled emotional weight.
Released today from the Isle of Mull, Finlay Birch’s third single ‘Inside Your Mind’ marks the final preview of his debut album Weight Will Unwind (12 June). Live drums, swelling guitars and hazy dream-pop textures expand his sound while staying rooted in emotional honesty and place.
The London rapper-producer’s second album reconstructs a short, dizzying trip to California as a crude, Dante-inspired descent. It’s his most coherent work yet, and the terror never felt so good.
Decades after drafting it amid personal upheaval in Copenhagen, the Phoenix-based composer and painter Allan Jamisen has given musical form to “Closing In,” a single that captures the uneasy beauty of emotional collapse and self-examination.
Budapest electronic artist Zságer Balázs turns Buddhist impermanence and Alan Watts philosophy into glitch-driven electronica that refuses closure. His second solo album on Free Sequence is precise, immersive and quietly radical.
After the maximalist sprawl of Cold Visions, Bladee returns with a single-producer statement that leans into emotional intensity and textural restraint. Sulfur Surfer, released today on Trash Island, finds the Swedish artist and longtime collaborator Whitearmor narrowing their shared palette into something darker, heavier and unusually cohesive.
Milan-based duo I’m Not a Blonde reframe partnership as 1+1=11 on their fourth album: a bilingual, precisely calibrated electropop record that prizes two distinct voices over fusion.
Thirteen years on, Block’s sixth album maps personal wreckage through ten sharply observed songs. Produced by Chris Kuffner and mixed by Blake Morgan, Love Crash refines the New York anti-folk voice into something quieter, more urgent, and unflinchingly present.
On their new single, Queen Anne construct a knowing unreliable narrator over shifting acoustic-to-groove textures. The result is precise, playful indie pop that treats performance as part of the story rather than something to hide.
Detroit-based instrumentalist SARK steps away from electronic palettes on his new single “Flying Toward Tomorrow,” blending live instrumentation with melodic phrasing and emotional weight. A quiet but precise shift.
