Released on February 13, 2026, Temperament arrives as the debut full-length from UK electronic producer Chris Ami, and it is one heck of an entrance. Spanning nine tracks, the album moves through a series of emotional and psychological states, using single-word titles to sketch a loose but purposeful inner journey.…

Following the shadowy pull of Beat The Drum’s earlier release “Black Sunset,” “Into Your Heart” feels like a companion piece that turns inward and upward at the same time. Built from neo-Sufi ambience, space music drift, and stripped-back touches of voice, piano, and violin, the track reaches for something more…

I.D.K.’s return doesn’t tiptoe in; it kicks the door open. “Nark 5” hits with that sharp-edged punk urgency the North Jersey band built their name on, but this time there’s a cinematic pulse running underneath the distortion. Hailing from Cliffside Park, New Jersey, and releasing their first original material since…

Written, played, and produced almost entirely by Darrian herself, the track is a one-woman storm, about wanting…

“Cinematic vision” starts small, like a rainy afternoon in a truck, and a notes app line, that opens into a whole life philosophy. Virginia-based songwriter Heddy Edwards uses this first single from her forthcoming EP, The Other Side of hell is a heaven so delicate, to trace how grief and…

Leeds-born, London-based duo The Mad Mile hit their stride on their debut full-length Legroom, a record that turns everyday anxiety, social awkwardness, and late-capitalist nonsense into crooked, catchy anti-anthems.
