There’s experimental, and then there’s Social Treble’s “The Skyline Motherboard… And The Burden of Being Known,” which rewires boundaries. Coming out of Bengaluru, this instrumental piece plays like a dystopian short film you can hear, built on the unnerving idea of a gig economy that no longer rents your time…

FANNY ALEXANDRA introduces a bold and emotionally charged presence with “Ride the Storm,” a track that leans into the raw edge of blues-infused alternative rock.

Trained as a classical cellist but clearly done playing by the rules, Cello channels that discipline into something taut…

Knife and Needles lean into sun-soaked escapism with “Coconut,” delivering a breezy, feel-good track that blends surf rock, reggae, soft rock, and folk-pop into a seamless summer-ready sound.
