19 Nov: “Mermaid Smiled” – Andrew Schneider Review

Andrew Schneider’s reimagining of XTC’s Mermaid Smiled is a masterclass in reinterpretation, managing to honor the original’s intricate charm while carving out space for a broader, more dynamic sound. Releasing November 15, 2024, the track feels like an invitation to step into a whimsical, nautical world where childhood wonder collides with the sophistication of adulthood.

08 Nov: “Dog and Pony (The Anarchy)” Stoney Forde Review

There’s nothing else out there like “Dog and Pony (The Anarchy)”—and that’s precisely why you should listen. Stoney Forde’s latest single isn’t polished. It doesn’t shimmer.

24 May: “All Your Life,” “Again,” “Shotput” – Still Woozy: Still Woozy’s Three New Singles Point Towards a Brilliant New Album

Still Woozy has gifted his fans by releasing three singles over the past three months. So far, the tracks are inciting nothing but excitement for the new album set to release this summer. Still Woozy – Sven Gamsky’s solo project – has been a reigning member of the indie music scene for some time, but hasn’t released an album since 2021. After setting the mood for many indie-heads’ late 2010’s summer’s, it looks like Gamsky is back to do the same in this decade.
