Acclaimed indie-pop duo Tennis have shared “Forbidden Doors,” the third single from their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Pollen, arriving this month via their own Mutually Detrimental label on Friday, February 10, 2023. Pre-orders are available now. “Sonically, Forbidden Doors filled out something essential that was missing from the record. I took my time writing lyrics that fit the world without altering it.

Voodoo Rays

The latest album by Voodoo Rays, ‘Empire’, breathes new life into the indie-rock genre. The record ventures into uncharted territory while ostensibly continuing the work of previous greats. The first tune, ‘chantal’, on the 10-song album ‘Empire’ is a fierce opener that immediately breaks down barriers. The guitars reverberate in the background, the bass riff is front and centre, and the music is driven forward by a relentless drum beat. A distinctive vocal stands out against a hazy background, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Glasvegas. About three songs in, ‘Ebbing’…

The new release from the British artist, also a trained classical singer, is out now. ‘Avalanche’ is a hybrid. It is a tune that is difficult to classify into one category, and Charmaine’s skill in glueing various styles together is impressive. Furthermore, Charmaine lays down a bluesy-country base, but from it springs a universe of possibilities, with pop hooks and indie…

Aj Whyte

Aj Whyte proves to be winning form with the release of his new single, ‘Run’. The release is brimming with feeling, and as soon as the tune begins to play through the speakers, we can immediately feel ourselves transported into AJ’s universe. The single was released for the first time in 2022, so it is not brand new for 2023; but, it is continuing to extend its wings and is paving the way forward for the upcoming musician this year. ‘Run’ possesses an inexhaustible allure that gets off to a…
