Brother Barnaby - Mystery of the Self
For fans of Paul Simon, Declan McKenna, and Andy Shauf... Brother Barnaby’s Mystery of the Self is a quietly confident debut that blends catchy indie-pop with introspective songwriting. Tracks like “Samantha” bring a Paul Simon-esque bounce and charm, while “Bless My Heart” leans into tender, jazz-tinged intimacy. The standout “Great Beyond” feels made for a film montage, cinematic, expansive, and emotionally rich.
FOLLOWAY - In My Mind
It tells a personal story of long-distance love. The track captures the warmth of memory and the sting of emotional distance. Recorded using vintage tube amps and classic microphones, “In My Mind” is full of analog textures that give it an authentic, emotional feel — both sonically and visually. A high-quality music video, shot across Turkey and the UK captures the contrast between isolation and connection in stunning cinematic visuals.
Josh Orange - Believers & Dreamers (What have We Become)
Recorded at Everland Studios in Sydney in April 2025, "Believers & Dreamers (What Have We Become)" showcases the band's musical prowess honed over two decades. Produced by guitarist Andrew Wass and engineered by Ben Worsey, the track also features a unique collaboration with Kaela Harp from the Sydney Orchestra, who adds a mesmerizing harp element. Notably, the song was mixed and co-produced by the renowned Tim Palmer, known for his work on Pearl Jam's album "Ten." With a blend of rock, harp, and even a spontaneous saxophone addition, this release stands out as a testament to Josh Orange's evolution and continued relevance in the music industry.
The Parachute Testers - Halfway To Everywhere
Halfway To Everywhere is the title track of The Parachute Testers' debut album due to land in September 2025. The track begins with a synthetic intro that eases into a head-nodding melody, pulling you straight into smooth, wavy riffs. There’s a moody, nighttime feel to it, like a glimmer on the skylight just after sunset. As the song builds, it feels like a getaway from an old, fading city that familiar urge to leave the suburbs behind and run forever. The production is modern and sleek, adding polish to the flowing guitars, while soft vocals guide you through streets lit by lamp posts and stars.
It’s dreamy, a little surreal, like stepping into the twilight zone with MGMT on the stereo and the night sky wide open.
Ultan - The Tempest
Recorded at Pirate Studios in north Dublin, Ultan's recording process reflects his methodical approach to music creation. Starting with the bass line, followed by drums, rock guitar, and vocals, Ultan's unique process brings a dynamic edge to his sound. As he gears up for potential performances in Dublin in the coming months, Ultan's online presence is steadily growing, laying the foundation for a thriving fanbase.
