Written By: Big C Who knew a garden full of zombies could share musical DNA with one of pop's most recognizable basslines? The String Revolution digs into the unlikely connection with Bad Zombies. It's an instrumental collaboration featuring acclaimed cellist Tina Guo, which brings Crazy Dave's Theme from Plants vs. Zombies face-to-face with Billie Eilish's bad guy. What could have easily become a novelty mashup instead presents an interesting exercise in composition. The ori

Written By: Big C Silence has a funny way of filling a room, especially when everyone knows exactly what isn't being said. Alan Garmonsway gives those lingering thoughts a musical voice on An Elephant In The Room. It's a ten-track collection where life's contradictions become opportunities for reflection, imagination, and some particularly inventive songwriting. Working as his own instrumental ensemble, Garmonsway builds the record around keyboards and acoustic guitar, introd

Written By: Big C A museum preserves history behind glass, but Travis Hall invites listeners to step inside the memories themselves. His eight-track debut, HeART Museum, transforms love, longing, and personal reflection into an exhibition of musical craftsmanship, bringing the precision of opera into the warmth of soul. Recorded with 25 Atlanta musicians, the album uses live horns, strings, rhythmic interplay, and jazz-informed harmonic movement to give each composition its o

BLEECH 9:3 did some of that work in reverse with Tourniquet by letting the record sweat through their 2026 festival run before officially setting it loose. The Dublin-born, London-based four-piece push sharp melody against thick distortion, giving the track enough abrasion to hit hard without burying the songwriting underneath it. Barry Quinlan and Sam Duffy first met through a 12-s

Written By: Big C A good story can outlive the moment that created it. Re Mattei gathers nine of them on Stories Lived, letting memory, imagination, love, mistakes, family, and the people encountered along the way share space inside one album. Nine songs may tell nine different tales, but Mattei understands that the most personal details can often uncover something surprisingly familiar in ourselves. Co-produced by Mattei and two-time GRAMMY Award winner Antaeus, with Alex Ps

Written By: Big C One thought can ruin your whole damn day if you give it enough room to breathe. Kind Villain takes the uncomfortable truth and cranks the volume with Downward Spiral. This track is an explosive alternative-rock record built around the moment when overthinking stops being a thought and starts becoming its own reality. Co-written by Ev Frederick and Paul Trust, the song hits with enough force to match the mental tug-of-war happening within our minds. There is

Written By: Big C Some habits are hard to break, but MASTO builds one you might actually want to keep. The Minneapolis artist comes into HABITS with energy from the jump. His use of repetition as an anchor makes the record immediately easy to latch onto without letting its momentum flatten out. His melodic delivery amplifies a late-night looseness, while small vocal sparks and inflections give the performance an extra layer of personality. Those details matter because MASTO i

Written By: Big C Photo Credit Kimiko Glenn KIMIKO has built a career mastering several, and now she's bringing that same storytelling instinct into pop music with her debut EP, Modern Dance. Best known as an actress, director, and voice talent, the Los Angeles multi-hyphenate steps confidently into the spotlight as a singer-songwriter. This time delivering a collection inspired by the awkward realities, emotional highs, and frustrating contradictions of modern dating. The ti

Written By: Big C There are songs that ask you to turn the volume up, and then there are songs that invite you to slow the pace down. Slack Key ʻOhana delivers the latter with Mai Tais In Paradise, a warm-hearted introduction to the trio's upcoming album, The ʻOhana Sessions. Rooted in Hawaiian slack key guitar, ukulele, and rich three-part harmonies, the single captures the feeling of watching the sun sink below the horizon with nowhere else you need to be. Rather than chasi

Written By: Big C After making a strong first impression with No Vacancy, Jet Lag Motel return with Baythorne Days, an EP that features soaring guitars, memorable hooks, and stories that feel instantly relatable. Produced by Taylor Carroll of LIT alongside Nathan Bankston, the project explores first love, growing pains, second chances, and the memories that continue shaping who we become. The band builds an imagined hometown where every song becomes another chapter in a large

Written By: Big C Some endings deserve tears, others deserve a dress code for redemption. Keeana Kee treats Ex’s Funeral less like a breakup song and more like a stylish act of emotional retaliation, turning heartbreak into something cinematic, defiant, and fully self-possessed. Built around the moment when pain shifts into perspective, the record rejects mourning in favor of reinvention, framing closure as a personal power move rather than a quiet acceptance. Valery Kaufman’

This track transforms inner pressure into outward power. With soaring melodies and emotionally charged production, the single captures the quiet battle between perfection and self-acceptance. Her vocal delivery is intimate and moving, allowing vulnerability to evolve into strength in real time. Create
