NOBRO turn a sexist barroom remark into a three-minute punk release valve. “Girls Like Us” makes its shout-back hook carry exhaustion, ageing and a rigged game—and its dedication to Susan Moss gives it real human weight.

A 7-inch like two lost scenes from a coastal film. The Offline turns Biarritz memories into sunlit jazz-funk on Side A and reflective tide music on Side B. A small record with a wide horizon.

Steven Wilson turns a village hall into a pressure chamber. “Requiem For A Village” moves from spectral stillness to dry drums, prowling bass and abrasive guitars—prog rock made human, fallible and apocalyptic. Would you enter?

Valerie June’s Brighter Blue turns three standards into a journey from gospel lift to folk-blues ache and the electric growl of “Smokestack.” Tradition isn’t preserved under glass—it breathes, hurts and burns again.

Pokey LaFarge’s Rent Money makes AMERICANA, COUNTRY BLUES, HOT JAZZ/SWING & ROCKABILLY carry today’s weight: work, rent, faith and dignity. Vintage language, present-tense pressure—joy with dust on its shoes. Listen: pokeylafarge.bandcamp.com/album/rent-m... #RootsMusic

Ezra Collective’s Here Because of Hope turns a journey from Africa through the Caribbean to London into music about inherited pain—and inherited joy. Occasionally over-signposted, but deeply human, rhythmically alive and full of conviction.

The War On Drugs return with “Who’s That?”, a widescreen anthem where forward motion meets inward struggle. Familiar architecture, striking emotional clarity: depression appears not as identity, but as the shadow keeping pace.

A house on a hill, a catalogue of talents, the exhaustion of always being right. I read Do Nothing’s “The Nail” as a sly lyrical portrait of competitive self-worth. Funny details, uncomfortable recognition.

Jimmy Barka Experience move into a darker, more elusive sound. “The Panther” previews Not Feeling So Good: electronics, restless rhythms, improvisation and live chemistry from turntables, programming and drums.

Let Your Hair Down’s “Love In The Time Of” feels like a late-night scene where soul, funk and cinematic darkness meet. Warm, atmospheric and open-ended — more a mood than a conventional love song.

“Good American” sounds like a victory lap until you hear who has been left behind. Spanish Love Songs turn heartland rock into an indictment: loud, blunt and built to be shouted together.

Skinshape’s “Take It As It Is” turns anxiety into a sun-faded groove: dusty drums, warm bass and a calm that never feels empty. Beautifully restrained—perhaps almost too restrained. A song for letting go without giving up. #Skinshape #PsychedelicSoul

The Happy Fits revisit “Too Late” with a fuller frame: cello-driven indie rock that smiles, moves and quietly panics about growing up. Brighter and more assured, if a little less scrappy than the 2016 original. Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUrG... #TheHappyFits #IndieRock

Cumbia walks into a dusty Texas bar, borrows a surf guitar and refuses to leave. The Animeros’ ¡Qué Bárbaro! is warm, raw and made to move—even when its retro palette occasionally blurs. Home listen or packed club?

Interpol don’t reinvent the dark—they let it crack. The title track, “Enemy” and “See Out Loud” find the band alive at the edge of reinvention. 8.2/10.

HYUKOH’s “KoK” sounds like a procession toward success—until triumph turns into solitude.

Eight patient minutes, a surreal collective spectacle and one uneasy question: was this really the destination?

“Crying With You” turns emotional exhaustion into motion: clipped guitars, restless bass and a chorus that refuses to let grief own the whole body.

Empathy, burnout or escape?

QOTSA’s Insignificant Other hides a breakup inside a smoky blues-funk strut. The groove seduces while Homme slowly moves from bitterness to acceptance. The clever part isn’t losing someone.It’s realizing that letting go can be beautiful.

Rock’n’roll remembered it was dance music.

The Schizophonics’ “Black Pleather” is handclaps, filthy fuzz, garage-soul swagger and proto-punk velocity — Chubby Checker dragged through a Stooges amp.

MOOSQA: 8.8/10

Gooseberry’s “D.B. Cooper” turns self-mythology into a killer rock song: crooked groove, bluesy swagger, sharp wordplay and a verse deliberately built to feel slightly “wrong.”
The mystery isn’t D.B. Cooper.
It’s how easily fiction becomes identity.
8.8/10

A warm choir. A weathered voice. An unease that lingers.

Lambchop’s Punching the Clown turns guitar, banjo and lined-out singing into something intimate, spectral and quietly political. Slow music that rewards returning. 8.7/10

Gallus turn FOMO into fear of losing venues, streets and former selves on “MK Des.” The repeated “I won’t miss out” gradually sounds less like confidence and more like fear talking too loudly.

Void Queen’s I WANNA KNOW turns four songs into one downward arc:

desire → doubt → illusion → addiction.

Post-punk tension, dirty ’70s rock’n’roll, driving bass and Vilte Stasiuleviciute’s commanding vocal.

Short enough to leave you wanting much more.

8.6/10

The Afghan Whigs – Soft Control 🖤

Not a band trying to sound young, but one learning how beautifully age can sound. Soul, guitars, mortality, memory and Dulli’s weathered voice. “Duvateen” is magnificent.

⭐ 9/10
