BEN RANKIN Save Your Tears
Ben Rankin opens the door to a more inward-facing era with Save Your Tears , a track that feels carved from late-night resolve rather than studio polish. It introduces In Memoriam not with grand declarations but with a measured calm, as if Rankin is standing still while the world rushes past, daring it to slow down. The song traces the outline of quiet rebellion. Instead of lashing out, Rankin dissects the subtle ways people are nudged into borrowed beliefs, then gently r

RUSTY REID "Let's Just Talk"
With Let’s Just Talk, Rusty Reid reappears not as a philosopher but as a storyteller of nerves and glances, tapping into the uneasy electricity of attraction before anything has been decided. It’s a song built around that charged pause where two people are circling each other, unsure whether to leap forward or step back, and Reid seems to relish staying right in that suspended moment. The track announces itself with buoyant guitar chimes riding atop a pulse that refuses to

Cope By SCOTT'S TEES
Scott’s Tees approaches Cope as if slipping a note under a closed door rather than stepping onto a stage. The song unfolds with a hushed sincerity, presenting vulnerability as something observed in passing, not broadcast. There’s an unforced patience in the way the mood settles, as though the track is less interested in spectacle and more in acknowledging the still corners of the mind. The arrangement glides forward with deliberate restraint. Guitars sketch faint outlines i

MICHELLAR Game of Love featuring Rad Datsun
Michellar returns with a song that doesn’t arrive so much as spark, flickering into life with the jittery excitement of two people clocking each other across a crowded terminal. “ Game of Love,” crafted alongside Rad Datsun, feels rooted in serendipity the kind born when creative chemistry outruns planning and it carries that backstory proudly in every restless beat and lifted breath. Rather than leaning fully into throwback comfort or glossy modernism, the track stitches

THE NEW CITIZEN KANE PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1
Psychedelika Pt. 1 arrives like a doorway into a parallel nightlife one where emotion, memory, and rhythm coexist in a single, luminous haze. The New Citizen Kane shapes the record with a curator’s instinct, arranging new material alongside familiar favorites in a way that feels seamless rather than retrospective. The result is a body of work that slips easily between private listening and crowded rooms, reflecting the paradox of nocturnal life: intimate yet vast, solitary ye

AVA VALIANTI Hot Mess
Ava’s newest single, Hot Mess , drifts in with a haze of sweetness disrupted by jagged edges, creating a sonic tension that immediately pulls the listener closer. Her voice airy yet assured rides atop the shifting textures with an almost balletic lightness, cutting through the roughness beneath without ever losing its warmth.

EXZENYA Ugly When You Love Me
Exzenya’s “ Ugly When You Love Me ” unfolds like a confession delivered under unforgiving fluorescent light clinical, steady, and mercilessly illuminating. Rather than tracing the arc of romance gone sour, the track dissects the quiet rot that grows in the corners of relationships built on performance rather than care. Exzenya approaches this emotional terrain with the poise of someone who’s done the autopsy long before sitting down to write the report. The song doesn’t bre

LA NEED MACHINE Rock and Roll Show
La Need Machine’s latest single arrives with a playful twist, slipping effortlessly between affectionate tribute and sly self-reference. At first listen, it feels like the kind of tender anthem written for someone cherished until the realization dawns that the devotion is aimed squarely at rock ’n’ roll itself. That duality gives the track its spark, inviting the listener to hear each line from two angles at once. The band wastes no time establishing their chemistry. Crisp

HIGHROAD NO. 28 Ache
Highroad No. 28’s “Ache ” arrives like a slow-burning ember, glowing quietly until you suddenly realize the room around you has shifted in temperature. The band leans into shadow rather than spectacle, crafting a sound that feels whispered from the edges of memory. It’s a song that chooses subtlety over force, but its impact is unmistakable the kind of track that settles in the chest long after the final note fades. From the first chord, the group’s alt-rock roots are reshape
