From the darker corners of the rock spectrum: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde contorts an old demo into an unholy mixture of Downtempo, Jazztronica and Prog — with a Steely Dan echo lurking near the end — while their "Rehearsal for Sunday" drifts through reverent church-like organ with a nasty, unrehearsed solo. BEN GEL rattles listeners with heavy, bass-driven positivity — respect all, carry less — then pivots to the raw ache of no closure, no goodbye. The Sleeping Cliffs serve upbeat alt-prog with Motown vibes and indie sleaze, and Shadows of my Doubts trace a life from daybreak to dusk through 80s-infused symphonic shadows.

Frida Kahlo - Viva la Vida, The Music to the Theatre Play by Ana Patan cover art

“10 pieces of music made for a theatre play about painter Frida Kahlo, an unconventional soundtrack on just electric guitar, alive, bare, still rich in melody, rhythm and emotion, light and darkness.”
