The Echoes I Sent is the kind of debut that doesn’t feel like a debut at all — it feels like an artist finally stepping into the light after years of crafting worlds in the shadows. Under the moniker Mental Health Consumer, Brian Ruskin delivers an album that moves like a quiet storm: subtle at first, then suddenly immense, alive, and everywhere at once.

Hawk in the Nest’s debut full-length album lands with the kind of confidence and emotional clarity that artists usually don’t reach until several records in. It’s a lush, deeply felt project that somehow lives in two worlds at once: the gritty storytelling of Bruce Springsteen and the silk-smooth warmth of Al Green.

We spoke to Hawk in the Nest about their journey so far.

Clarelynn Rose’s new single “Salmon Creek Run” is one of those rare instrumental pieces that feels less like a song and more like a breath — slow, steady, and grounding in all the right ways. Rose has always had a gift for fingerstyle guitar that carries emotional weight without ever raising its voice, but this track pushes her craft into an even more intimate, spacious place.

Mercy Kelly are back — leaner, louder, and sharper than ever — with their new single “Out In The Night,” a track that feels less like a return and more like a re-ignition. Now performing as a four-piece, the band proves that subtraction can be a form of refinement.

DownTown Mystic isn’t just closing out 2025 — he’s detonating it in proper classic-rock fashion, riding into the holiday season with a new single, a six-track EP, and enough guitar tone to power an East Coast blackout.

With Game of Love, Michellar step into the spotlight with the kind of chemistry you can’t manufacture, only stumble into by accident — the happy kind of accident that happens at a songwriting retreat in the San Bernardino mountains. The San Francisco duo, built around the creative spark between Michelle Bond and Brad Johnson, take that serendipity and bottle it into a track that feels simultaneously nostalgic, breezy, and emotionally sharp.

With Modern Mythologies, David Keenan doesn’t just return — he detonates. He opens his chest cavity, shakes out the ghosts, burns the old stories and rewrites them in real time. The album, arriving 21 November 2025, is a sprawling, intimate tapestry of memories, myth-making and survival. It’s Keenan at his most exposed and his most expansive: a poet documenting the messy miracle of being alive.

With “Another Dream,” London-based singer-songwriter OGGY (Olga Savic) delivers her most compelling work yet — a cinematic pop-rock confessional that feels both intensely personal and universally resonant. It’s a song built on the contradictions of love: hope and heartbreak, longing and clarity.

True North’s second single, “On a Prayer with a Broken Wing,” arrives like a burst of golden light after a storm — a joyful, soulful, horn-soaked celebration that stands in electrifying contrast to the brooding tension of their debut, “No Exit Wound.”

From the first beat, “Mid-Night Moves” feels like stepping into a neon-lit rush — that perfect, electric moment on the dance floor when sound and sensation blur together. Tom Wills and Sholz-Y have crafted something that’s both immediate and immersive: a late-night anthem that doesn’t just make you move, it makes you feel seen.

Out November 14th, 2025, Valvet’s new EP “Mirrors & Ecstasy” is the sound of a young band coming fully into focus — confident, introspective, and emotionally explosive all at once. Across four striking tracks, the Swedish quartet balances melancholy and euphoria, vulnerability and defiance.

With his new single “Sentimental Magic Cape,” Tel Aviv-based songwriter Eyal Erlich threads together punk energy, lyrical sensitivity, and a timeless rock ‘n’ roll soul — crafting something that feels both nostalgic and boldly present. It’s a song that glimmers with vintage flair yet speaks directly to today’s anxieties: armor, identity, and the fragile dance between defiance and vulnerability.

We spoke to Eyal Erlich about his journey so far.

With Songs From The 8th Dimension, Peter Lord doesn’t simply return — he ascends. The visionary founder of The Family Stand arrives not as a legacy act reviving past glories, but as a creator operating on a new wavelength entirely.

“Sorry, Can’t” is the kind of song that doesn’t ask permission to be heard—it presses on the bruise and holds your gaze while it does. Coral Z turns deeply personal history into something sharp, melodic, and uncomfortably relatable, threading alt-rock guitars and indie-pop clarity through a story that feels both intimate and universally painful.

“Echoes: The Final Chapter” is the last word—and Bullet To The Heart make sure you feel every syllable of it. This is not a farewell whispered. It is a door closing with weight. A flame going out only after it’s burned through everything in its path.

With Flamingo Road, Blake steps fully into the singer-songwriter role he’s been orbiting for years—the sort of self-contained creator who uses melody as memory, and lyric as confession. Recorded entirely at home and performed solely by Blake himself, this album has the unmistakable imprint of someone who refused to wait for permission, budget, or perfect conditions to make the record that needed to be made.

The Cassy Judy Mixtape is not just a collection of songs—it’s a vivid, fearless portrait of a life lived at full emotional volume. Sydney artist Cassy Judy returns with her most personal, playful, and politically charged project yet, blending vulnerability and protest, joy and defiance, sax solos and sharp-edged storytelling.

Moss arrive with a sound that feels both familiar and quietly transgressive—like something lost in the haze of the late ’90s Bristol scene, unearthed, run through a dream filter, and resurrected with modern sensitivity. The North of England duo have carved out a distinct identity with startling speed, rooted in trip hop atmosphere, cinematic slow-burn tension, and lyrics that cut like whispers spoken directly into your ear.

With From the Heart, composer and pianist Sharon Ruchman steps into a new chapter of her musical storytelling—one that feels both deeply personal and intentionally intimate. Known for compositions that blend classical lyricism with emotional nuance, Ruchman’s sixth album focuses entirely on the voice of the violin in conversation with the piano.

There are songs that feel written to impress, and there are songs written because they needed to exist. Kaleb Hikele’s “Slowly” is very clearly the latter — an intimate, intentional, and deeply human piece that functions both as a love song and as a personal timestamp in the artist’s life.
