Synths surge and beats ignite: Libel's The Accumulation of Things blends danceable synth-pop, David Lynch-esque vibes, and guitar theatrics into a genre-bending portrait of modern life, while Ken Wohlrob's Forgotten Music crafts ambient experimentalism that feels "both familiar and alien — like an old language part of your DNA." For Heads Only's If You Know flips self-sampled jazz into wonky, cinematic Brainfeeder-meets-Stones Throw beats, and LowPilott's Overdrive Protocols rockets through hyper-speed corridors fusing punchy synthwave, heavy phonk, and driving house. NARADA's Грёзы / Daydreams delivers a confessional alt-pop debut recorded entirely behind bars, brimming with pain, hope, and yearning.
“Relentless, overdriven instrumentation with echoing, emotive vocals to create a piece that encapsulates the raw melancholia one associates with holding onto something that one can’t hold onto anymore”
“Downtempo experimental electronic created with only guitars and zero effects of any kind”
