Cosmic Room 99 embrace their namesake on their new single E Corp. The song is like entering a stylistic musical world where the influence of the psych rock era of The Jesus and Mary Chain evolves with a Kubrick sensibility. There’s something beautifully horroshow to this vibe.
It’s an energy familiar to late 60 garage rock, that first true underground punk sound. It sounds unadulterated by the label machine. That authenticity shines in the performance and the beautiful blend of noise. The lofi aesthetic recalls The War On Drugs early cassette releases, before they sold out obviously. Imagine that, but harder. We can dig it.

Oceans and Mayzie make a great pair. The collaboration is golden, and their recent Luminosity might shine the brightest. It blends their love for dream pop and post punk new wave emphatically. The vibrant layers provide a shimmering musical sheen. You baste in its glow while Mayzie’s voice hypnotizes you to sway in tandem with the flowing beat.
…And then there’s the chorus. It’s the tipping point, that sends you into a rage, only to whip you back again in the comfort of the verse. This is wonderful contrast. Stylistically they blend their influences effectively. The duo are inspired by projects like Cranberries, Curve, and The Cure. Hear for yourself.

If you’re going to cover My Bloody Valentine then you can’t do much better than Taleen Kali. Their version of Cupid Come delivers. It updates the sonic design while offering its own inspired interpretation.
It might not be a popular take, but for us the original MBV records have a sort of sibilance that makes them hard to listen to. Taleen Kali has provided a version that could help bring a new audience to their project. We’re into it.

Australian based indie rockers Supahoney are refreshingly eclectic. They bridge the realms of innovative indie rock and emo shoegaze. convincingly. Two recent releases find the pendulum swinging between those polarities. Their recent Steve trends more indie with an influence of Radiohead permeating from the expressive lead guitar part. The emo influence comes through subtly in both the vocal and the chorus shift.
Their other new single Foreigner is a damn tasty studio project unafraid to travel into cinematic album territory. The opening skit is eccentric and fun. There’s something about it that amplifies the community aspect of this work. The song evolves into new dark realms. Stylistically it bridges the gap between Jimmy Eat World and A Perfect Circle. Sounds intriguing? Its dope.
