Clawing away at the silence with a textured melody only meant to grow stronger with every beat, “Dead Messenger” establishes an angst-ridden – albeit muted – vibe right from the start. It’s definitely true that this isn’t the only song on the new eponymous EP from Illuminaut to incorporate physicality as a means of making

February 4, 2022 [Long Island, NY] For the second year in a row, Long Island, New York songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Joe Piket has won the prestigious Long Island Entertainer of the year award in the piano entertainer category. Piket has been described as “a more edgy Billy Joel” and “the Bruce Springsteen of Long Island” by music critics. Rave reviews for Joe’s CDs have appeared in Newsday, Good Times,
With elegant melodies that touch on post-punk and indie rock themes of yesteryear, there’s an instant sense of urgency coupled with poise that greets us at the start of The Cold Head’s new single “Spirit of the Beehive,” the first cut off of their upcoming album Angels in the Attic. It isn’t all instrumental potency; the
Award Winning musician Lainey Dionne is talking about why music never stops! Are you making any rounds with testing out new music on the road? I wish I was out on the road right now! With the pandemic sticking around I don’t feel that it’s safe for me to tour yet. However, I am doing
The bass lets out a singular hushed moan as we sink into the depths of “Traveling with Wayne,” the first song in the four-part tracklist of Mumex Trio’s Folds of Time, and as heady as this tonal introduction is, it doesn’t represent the most avant-garde moment we’re to encounter in this album. Contrarily, this is
Elektragaaz is here to score your life with their newest addition in their ongoing series, The Synaesthetic Picture Show, Now Playing Part 4. Elektragaaz is a multi-fusion instrumental group based out of New York City, headed by a mysterious figure that goes by Poppo Redband. The group pulls inspiration from almost every genre you can
When a record sounds or just feels conceptual aesthetically, it’s often burdened with a sense of overthinking the narrative characteristic of artists with a lot of ambition but little ability to fully realize their goals. If ever there was an exception to this unfortunate modern standard, I personally happen to think that Robert Miller’s Project
It’s not staggered, but there’s definitely a bit of tension-building technique guiding every note of “Rollaway” out of the speakers and into our minds this January. Go to Space Die’s debut album Red Air Don’t Care is filled with a tense, atmospheric rock of the purely instrumental variety, and while the absence of lyrics leaves the ultimate
Austrian indie artist Mary Broadcast and her band have established a solid reputation as a superb and balanced vehicle for her lyrics. The release Panic, however, elevates her art to an even higher level than she’s known thanks to its impressive scope. She chronicles, over the course of six songs, the trajectory of an intense romantic
The one and only, Dici, is at it again. This time, he’s picking up the pace, with the runaway romantic freight, known as “u n i.” If you aren’t already familiar with Dici, he’s kind of one of those types, you have to see to believe. To be perfectly honest, my first impression of him,
Deborah Lee Fong’s prolificness and high-energy is something we should all aspire to in these uncertain times. After all, for a veteran, bilingual Panamanian-American actress, things probably haven’t always come easily. But Fong has built herself up through the years as an acclaimed theater performer, having participated in numerous productions nationwide as well as having
Linda Collins is an actor, performer, and former musician who needless to say has been riding high for the last couple of years – with no signs of slowing down. The Covid-19 pandemic and all its related, or otherwise associated aftereffects have shaken up the traditional milieus of industry. This is particularly pertinent when it
You don’t need a lot of frills to make something powerful – you need soul, charisma, and a good blueprint for the kind of music you’re going to record. Alyst and his collaborator, the brilliant Affluent Oscar Sanchez, are out to prove this statement true in the new single “Gold,” and while their efforts are
From an instrumental point of view, there’s a lot to marvel at within the conservative construct of Morten Nygaard’s “Tomorrow Never Comes,” his virgin outing in the studio. Although pressurized in the master mix, the piano still glistens with a reflectiveness that, when placed next to Nygaard’s dynamic vocal as it has been here, feels
From the opening selection “Nocturnes, Op. 9 No. 1_No. 1 in B-Flat Minor” to the closing “Nocturnes, posth._No. 21 in C minor” French pianist Elizabeth Sombart tickles the ivories with refinement in her 21-song album, Singing The Nocturnes. Sombart cultivates Frederic Chopin’s masterpieces into a splendid experience. It’s been said and it sounds cliché, that music
You have heard the expression, ‘it takes a village’. Well, it is no secret that this can apply to artists and their teams and support systems as well. Having founded Yao Law Group and specializing in artist visas, people like Artist Visa Lawyer, Elektra Yao and her team, have proven to be a vital part
Wintry albums frequently suggest themes of life and death, suffering and pleasure, as well as the desire to change and become something stronger and more affectionate than we ever knew we could be, and to this end Streaking in Tongues’ Christmas with Bigfoot is quite the conceptual and on-point listen. In collaboration with poet Marty Achatz, Streaking
Striking folk-rock is starting to feel like the “it” sound of 2022, despite the fact that the year hasn’t even arrived yet, and artists like indie player Eric Colville are absolutely the reason why. Colville doesn’t ask for permission to dive deep in his new album Philadelphia; he cuts into the core of his own soul
