From: Buffalo, New York. USA
Label: Revelation Records
A few thoughts: As far as fun, hardcore punk albums go, This Is All We Ever Get may be the best release of the year yet! The Buffalo, New York five piece create heavy, melodic and infectious riffs that create so much ferocious intensity, it’s impossible not to feel enamoured by their intense energy. There’s a very Rage-type energy to Lexi Reyngoudt’s voice. There’s so much emotion drawn out into this loud and abrasive vocals, with heavy guitar riffs that are incredibly dense and hypnotic.

Why you should listen: ganavya’s music feels transcendant in many ways. Emotionally potent and always with so much soul, her music is utterly hypnotic, and her new album like the sky I’ve been too quiet is among her most poignant and stunning so far. It’s the meditative, meandering synths and her compelling and gentle voice that captures the intensity in emotion throughout this 13-track album. From the haunting and chilling opening “not in an anthropological mood” to the hypnotic, string-driven “I walk again, eyes tow ..read more

Why you should listen: Groningen-based band Real Farmer have come through with an electrifying, energetic and hard-hitting debut album with Compare What’s There. Literally appeared in my Apple Music recommended new releases the other day, I was initially drawn by the aesthetic album cover, but it was the music and immersive experience I got from listening to the album that made me stay, and play again and again.

Unapologetically anti-colonial and anti-capitalist, the Philadelphia-based multidisciplinary artist has been creating some of the most striking, political and experimental music I’ve listened to in the past few years – whether we’re talking about 2020’s Brass with billy woods, 2021’s Black Encyclopedia of the Air or 2023’s Jazz Codes, she’s been at the forefront of some of the most innovative and eclectic music I’ve listened to.
