Cogley (formerly Paul Cogley) reimagines and expands his 2022 opus into a bold double-vinyl and streaming reissue called Deep Blue Sky, released March 24, 2026. Through experimental rock, alt-electronica, and heartfelt songwriting, the record grew from a two-year labour into a 16-track statement about redemption, empathy, and keeping sight of…

ONEWAY is the project of Dayton singer-songwriter and youth pastor Dustin Burkhard, who turns fifteen years of pastoral care and trauma into music that sits between contemplative worship and modern rock. Released March 9, 2026, “Breakdown” is a bruised, honest single built to meet people in their hardest hours, a…

bobrosia, a solo producer-songwriter from Phoenix, Arizona, unfolds a cinematic home-studio vision with Fold Into The Glow, released March 30, 2026. Written, performed, and produced in an apartment and polished at Vudu Studios, the album wears influences from Aphex Twin to Beach Boys and Radiohead like badges. It’s experimental, lush,…

Watch Me Die Inside is the artistic universe of Aleph, a project that dissects modern collapse into raw, unblinking fragments. One of those pieces, “Melancholy Nektar,” sits inside the larger sequence that folds into Autopsy, and functions like an intimate, unsettling, and strangely gorgeous ritual. Think of it as a…

Bahar, a rising young pop artist, returns with her second single “I Always Knew That No One Would Love Me,” released March 17, 2026, and produced in London by GETH. Coming off the playful rush of her debut “Cute,” this one digs into adolescent heartbreak, sung with unflinching honesty and…

Microbes are Jacob Connor and Allister Ainsworth, an Auckland duo who dropped the single “City of Sails” on March 14, 2026. Built as an ode to Tāmaki Makaurau, the track threads Allister’s synth and keyboard obsessions (think Visage, Gary Numan) with Jacob’s husky, later-90s-tinged vocal style, producing a sound that…

“Reminder” is an instrumental duet by Joel ‘Veena’ Eisenkramer and Jasdeep Singh that marries the rare 20-stringed Indian slide guitar with the thunderous jori drum. Rooted in the late-morning raga Jaunpuri and retooled for Joel Veena’s 2025 album CARDINAL, this five-minute jugalbandi reads as a musical conversation and a compact…

Delta Fire is a four-piece alt-rock outfit from Glasgow, Kieron McManus (vocals/lead guitar), Liam McLaughlin (vocals/rhythm guitar), Aidan Spencer (bass), and Andrew Knox-Watson (drums), and “Eyes Burn Gold” is their thunderous second single, recorded at the legendary Chem19.
