NickGCherrydot - Observations

NickGCherrydot brings all the good vibes and retro sound with his latest offering “Observations”. Featuring amazing guitar riffs that have all the fuzz and spring as well as drums that are steady and authoritative Nick builds the soundscape of this track masterfully. The vocal performance on this track is unique with a character of its own while harkening back to the sound of the late 60s with its stylings. This song is amazingly polished and incredibly charming while proudly displaying the amount of heart and soul NickGCherrydot has poured into it. I recommend giving it a listen today! 

Good Strangers - Private Hell

Good Stranger gives us an honest and lyrically rich tune with their latest release “Private Hell”. This song has a warm and comfortable soundscape which is heavily driven by ambient synths, guitars and rolling drum beats. Also adding to the wonderful character of this song is the duet nature of the vocals giving the song a sense of momentum and motion as you listen to it. The lyrics of this song explore themes of mental health and the breakdown of interpersonal relationships resulting in you feeling like you are living in your own private hell. I highly recommend you check this one out!

Love Ghost and Ritrukai come together to deliver an incredibly unique and potent atmosphere with their latest collaboration “Human Error 404”.

With slow distorted and moody guitar chord leaden riffs and muted drumming making up the ambience of this track, you are left with a feeling as though you are floating.
