Find A Song that dives into the disorienting experience of feeling disconnected

Jack Pavlina - Back 2 Me

Known for his introspective lyrics and genre-blurring sound, Pavlina continues to solidify his place in the modern music landscape with a track that captures the turbulence of youth and the quest for self-discovery. "Back 2 Me" dives into the disorienting experience of feeling disconnected even in the presence of loved ones. Pavlina describes the song as a reflection on the anxiety of being caught between the urge to solve life’s challenges and the struggle to live in the moment. “This song came from a place of wanting to reconnect with myself,” he shares. “I’ve been holding onto it for six months, waiting for the right moment to let it out into the world. Now, I’m just excited to get back to creating what really matters: new music.”

Find A Song about migration

The Ocelots - Australia

We tried to capture that feeling of leaving and dealing with the self-adjustment involved. A certain apathy you grow to those you love around you when you know all you want to do is move. In our pursuit of writing something honest and cathartic, we created something many people can relate to.

Find A Song that delves into themes of catharsis and hireth

An Gof - Crying the Neck

An Gof brings a fresh sound that captivates audiences. The song delves into themes of catharsis and hireth, a Welsh and Cornish concept of longing for a place. This release celebrates and burrows from the Cornish ritual of "Crying the Neck," symbolizing the harvest. Produced at Cave Studios in Par near St. Austell by John Logan and mastered by Felix Rashman.

An Gof are a Penzance post-punk band. They play fiercely independent original music. Uniquely DIY in their ethos and deeply rooted in their sense of place. All the while remaining acutely aware of their own irrelevance.

Their sound is heavily subsidised by menial office work and poorly paid labour.

Find A Song contrasting overtly romantic lyrics with heavy instrumentals

Lycio - I Feel Like Being in Love

This offering is the fourth instalment from their debut EP ‘Inbetween’. The track is as heavy as Lycio have ever sounded, taking things a decibel or two louder than previous records. The gnarly, industrial instrumental sits in striking contrast with singer Genie Mendez’s overtly romantic lyrics. A much-intended artistic choice from the band.

Passing through an ambient verse two drop and later followed by an unexpected, trance like breakdown of cinematic scale, the track flows into a final chorus with the track literally breaking.

Find A Song about paranoia and impending doom

Energy Whores - Bunker Man

Musically, Bunker Man represents a seamless blend of progressive electronic sounds and the poetic, narrative lyricism that defines the band’s discography. Energy Whores have long been celebrated for pairing their music with the mood of the stories they wish to tell, experimenting with everything from cutting-edge electronic arrangements to innovative twists on more traditional forms. For this track, the result is a soundscape that feels urgent and tense, perfectly mirroring the themes of paranoia and impending doom. Yet, despite its heavy message, the song retains an infectious energy, making it as danceable as it is thought-provoking. The band’s ability to balance dark, dystopian themes with an undercurrent of vitality and optimism sets Bunker Man apart. “Dance and enjoy your life now while you still can,” they urge listeners, pointing to the growing prevalence of unrelenting narcissists intent on ruling the world without concern for others. By juxtaposing the grim realities of power and greed with the joy of living fully in the moment, Energy Whores deliver a nuanced message: the time to reflect, connect, and act is now.

Find A Song about struggling with anxiety

Marma Lad - Pie

Pie is the debut release from Marma Lad, a character with an orange for a head and a love for 90s alternative rock and shoegaze, with a touch of 60s inspiration. Reflective yet passionate, the song channels my struggles with anxiety and traveling into a wall of guitar noise and a dramatic drop. I found guitar to be a way to tame my anxious thoughts, turning my experiences into odd yet compelling lyrics.

Marma Lad blends raw emotion with surreal imagination. I’ve brought this juicy-headed character to life. Pie dives into noise and feeling, shaped by my mental state in ways I never intended but can’t ignore. Here’s hoping it resonates with a few people along the way.

Find A Song that is a reflection of what it can mean to fall in love

Sophie Jamieson - Vista

New single “Vista” was described as "a slow-burning nocturnal ballad, burnished by delicate finger-picked guitar work and misty vocal harmonies." A woozy and sweeping reflection of what it can mean to fall in love, It chronicles the dizzying intensity while also reflecting on how easy it is to lose yourself to it all, when you are constantly seeking footing in another person.  She shares, "Written in the midst of falling in love, I think I sensed the danger in my own emotions. It was intense and rapid, and though I didn’t realise it at the time, this song seems to reveal my awareness of losing myself very quickly. I felt like a child, in good and bad ways. Everything felt electrified, but also lonely. I found myself painting this picture of a long car drive along cliffs under empty skies, constantly ruining everything, always asking for too much."
