This is a multi song review of a playlist we follow. The list is loosely thematic and there’s usually something in there for every taste. I may do more of these.

Message from the Artist I’m Mark from 32after, a Berlin based duo creating what we call CINEMATIC DRAMATIC POP — a fusion of orchestral-film-music textures with contemporary pop songwriting. We’ve just released our new single “IN”, a song about self-love, introspection, and intimacy. It’s built around lush electronic textures, pulsing rhythms, and an evocative vocal… Read more: IN | 32after
Message from the Artist: Just a hard working Grunge / Punk / Pop band from the middle of nowhere trying to share their music with the world. We are 100% DIY so sometimes we need a little help from good people listening reviewing and appreciating our hard work. I GOT THE JUICE THE WINONAS Reviewd… Read more: The Winonas | I Got the Juice
The band is made up of Mikey ‘Dream’ Clorley-Jones (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ian Edwards (lead/rhythm guitar), and Dominic Gallagher (bass) and recent additions , Joe Evans (Guitar) and Bijan Tayari (drums). Mikey and Ian, longtime collaborators from their previous band LEON, have reignited their songwriting spark along with Dominic,, Joe and Bij who completes the new line-up.
‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Drinking and Fighting’ were the first two concepts I ingested when I first came upon the music of Standard Electric. Once enhanced with the meaning of this pairing I began to wade into the wide ranging, Tom Waits meets pj Harvey, meets low brain wave requirement, ala the Ramones, intellectually quizzical world of Standard Electric brand recordings. Coincidentally ‘Merry Christmas’ is a cover song that you can hear on their Bandcamp page at the links below, which is highly recommended.
Well, I can understand now where the band name came from. That’s a good start. GODDESS is the fifth song on an EP created by two musicians, a car interior and, hopefully, a good land line internet connection. However they recorded these songs, ‘GODDESS is a modern synergy of hard, cold tech and soft, warm inspiration. Ashley Cole and Sydney Cross make it work over the wire.
From the beginning, the single arpeggio to start always pulls me in. As the bass and drums kick in the keyboard trilling turns into more of a pad sweep with a tightly compressed layer of guitar approximations over top. The song fills in through a couple of verses and ultimately reaches a nice pre-chorus/bridge part
Wolfsmoke‘s email arrived in my InBox a little while ago, still smouldering from its trip across the interwebs. Once I detangled it from my overflowing hard disk I ran the SoundCloud link and immediately left the room for the next 5 minutes or less.
The Elegant Chasers, which I initially read as the elephant chasers, but that’s another band, come in hot with the second cut off the upcoming release “TO LIVE IN COLOUR” (06-12-24). The audio pressure maintains a high-intensity buzz from the start. With this composition, that buzz echoes and delays in turn throughout, leaving the listener in an isolated chamber to contemplate life’s meaning.
Alone | SGHowes Artist: Star SGHowesSong Style: 2024 Reviewer: Dee The song, “Alone“, by SGHowes from his latest release “Not Everything That’s Lost is Gone” (2024, self-published), takes a small audio hook and turns it into a well syncopated drone, mirroring the song structure of a classic, but hybrid, ballad style. The singing is contemporary… Read more: Alone | SGHowes
Message from the Artist: “paperback of my book has been released! + dropped a new tune! “Imagine this song… as a radio broadcast from an alternate future breaking through into ours… and eventually that sound becomes clearer when the whole album drops and we shfit closer toward that future ourselves!! “ ~A.K.

I may go nowhere but this tune goes and goes. I like the sex pistol echoes and the drone that starts somewhere after the first chorus. I like the middle and the end better than the start. Cool vocal and imagistic lyrics. It’s my taste but maybe that’s not saying much.
Oddly Enough (self released) :: So I’m spinnin’ the first song and suddenly thinking that, no, the absolute last thing I wanna do is say that Desmond is the new Lou Reed ’cause he seems to be way too normal to be saddled with that kind of calamitous tag. But every time I hear th
