“A song that gives shame, embarrassment, and insecurity a voice, and asks how those feelings shape who we become.”
Fear, lunacy, and power-pop collide: Mother Raspberry & A.R.C. deliver 53 minutes of outright lunacy on their RAM-fortified sequel Oh, More Gordon, while MANYON ART WORK blends cinematic J-rock energy with heavy guitars, piano and strings across seven tracks built around breaking through fear. Ken Wohlrob conjures experimental ambient music that feels "both familiar and alien — like an old language that is part of your DNA," and Ben Auld turns personal upheaval into blown-out power-pop with Bach-inspired guitar solos and layered harmonies on Loserdom. Zachary Gould maps a full emotional arc from pining to acceptance across six years of songs, while pathetique offers polyrhythmic ambient comfort — sounds of empathy and a hug during the worst times.
