With her latest single Satiety, CAVN takes a bold and beautiful step deeper into her own sonic universe — one where emotion doesn’t need a lyric to cut to the core. Following the promise of last year’s Mosaic EP, this new release feels like both an expansion and a refinement of her vision: a cinematic, intensely evocative instrumental piece that captures the chaos, tenderness, and volatility of obsessive love in a way words could never manage.
There’s a certain electricity when an artist taps into the sounds that first lit a fire under them, and on his latest single, Shoot to Kill, Doggett — the sharp-tongued, guitar-wielding alter ego of Simon Whitworth — channels that youthful defiance with thrilling precision. It’s a track that feels both retro and refreshingly current, a pop-punk adrenaline rush stitched together with the spirit of early new wave rebellion and the battle-worn honesty of a life lived on the fringes of heartbreak.
Jan Edwards has always been an artist unafraid to wander — through genres, moods, and deeply personal corners of her heart. From her Minneapolis roots to the Nashville circuits that sharpened her craft and now to sun-soaked Naples, Edwards has cultivated a sound that feels as boundless as her journey. On her new EP Love Love, she turns inward while still inviting listeners to bask in every shade of emotion, crafting a collection that feels both expansive and intimate.
Gnomes have always existed in that curious space between introspection and levity — the kind of band that can wrap heavy themes in breezy melodies and leave you wondering how you’re smiling through your own existential dread. On Microclimbs, their latest EP and perhaps most daring evolution yet, the Berlin-based outfit lean further into that duality, trading some of their acoustic earnestness for electric textures, shimmering synths, and a bold, modern indie pop sensibility.
Sydney’s Northern Beaches have long been a quietly influential breeding ground for Australia’s most thoughtful, genre-defying artists — and with their debut album Dope Folk, Sky Juice Duo not only continue that tradition, they elevate it. The collaboration between Alby Gibson-Healey and Matthew Trapnell is a masterclass in atmosphere and intimacy, weaving a rich tapestry of ambient folk, singer-songwriter confessionals, and contemporary acoustic grooves laced with experimental touches.
