Don’t Let Your Love Life Get You Down by Jaye Jayle
For Jaye Jayle, the classic blues sound contains within it this vastness which only properly comes into focus with a high production value, sludgy tempos, and a wide array of processing effects.
Sophia Oscillations by Mission to the Sun
Mission to the Sun retains the all-important pulse that invites us to dance, but distressingly lucid vocal samples and an abundance of non-rhythmic noise across all frequencies force us to watch ourselves as we move around the dance floor.
On a Continuous Form by Richard Chartier
On a Continuous Form flings us back in time, forcing our hands as we unpack moments that we didn’t even know we remembered.
Sadness by Cosmicdust
Seeing successes such as Sadness reminds us of the many paths that mainstream pop music has still yet to explore that could still yield catchy and accessible hits.
RPG by Me Lost Me
Sure, there’s plenty of reasons to escape the world, but to Me Lost Me, even (or potentially especially) in a perfect world, people would still create alternate universes.
Dreams in Red by Longings
If you’re looking for some Fugazi flavored death rock, you’ve come to the right place.
WIREPULLER by UURYDON
I’ve never been able to explain to someone what it’s like to experience the trigger to and the start of an anxiety attack, but I think UURYDON might have me covered.
Body Songs by Circuit Circuit
Punk rising stars Circuit Circuit use their new EP Body Songs to rail against the abandonment of the body in favor of digital identity, subjecting the listener to a five-alarm wake-up call.
Inside Noise 7/7
Inside Noise roundup for the week of 7/7. Check back throughout the week for quick reviews of our favorite larger releases!
Cashier Conductor (Chapter 1) by Ranipla
Each song harkens back to a style of internet music that Ranipla obviously deeply cherishes, bouncing from electro-swing to hyper-ska to breakcore to bubblegum bass, giving us a grand tour of the digital underground.
Systemic by Divide and Dissolve
Profound and transcendent, Divide and Dissolve's newest release Systemic stands like an ancient towering monolith, triggering deep emotions stirring in our collective subconscious.
When I Am Dead, My Dearest by LILAMORS
This tech person participates in a half-hour game of tug-of-war with the vocalist, with the pianist seeking in vain to broker some kind of peace.
46cm Hole in Her Cell by Fantastic Twins
Like any good techno record, this one brings out your inner animal, reducing your entire being to mere movement as your heartbeat, breathing, and thought pattern sync up to the hypnotic beat.
Last by Loma Prieta
A distinct sense of alienated non-belonging courses through the new LP Last from the hardcore band Loma Prieta as the band struggles over questions of purpose, permanence, and the will to make a change.
Gnosis by Микрокульт
We expect warzones to be horrifying, but what about the eerie quiet that settles right behind the front lines? As the media turns its attention to the hardships of life in Ukraine, Микрокульт gives us a unique view into the situation on the ground in Russia.
II by Dorminn
What happens when you combine an incredible collection of worldwide folk instruments, a cabin in the woods, and a love for black metal?
Límyte by PYLAR
Like a burning church, this album creaks and crackles with dissonant orchestral tones and ritualistic chanting that threatens to summon something sinister. If the Old Ones really are responsible for inspiring this phenomenal release, I for one welcome our new experimental sludge metal overlords.
Cosmia 800 by Seaplane
If you’re into the classic indie rock records of the 90s, pay attention, because I’ve just found you a band that probably would’ve made one of those if they’d been born 30 years earlier.
Aphorisms by Graham Lambkin
Aphorisms consists of sparse sound collages which reveal the suffocating silence Lambkin finds himself in, encouraging him to fixate upon the most miniscule of household sounds.
