Radiosoul
Alfie Templeman
Radiosoul is a vibrant and experimental sophomore album, showcasing Alfie's growth as a songwriter and musician, ranging from upbeat dance-pop to funk and R&B influences, with some highlighting its unique blend of genres and catchy hooks.
Ill Times
GUM / Ambrose Kenny-Smith
One of my favorite albums of the last 2 years. The collab between GUM (Jay Watson of Pond and Tame Impala) and Ambrose Kenny-Smith (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Murlocs), blends psych rock, funk, and soul, highlighting the unique synergy between Watson's experimental tendencies and Kenny-Smith's soulful vocals and harmonica.
Flight b741
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Fun, accessible, and energetic album that sees the band exploring a more straightforward, blues-rock and boogie sound reminiscent of 70s rock with crunchy guitars, catchy melodies, and infectious energy.
Kimosabe
Dope Lemon
"No corner of alternative rock is left untouched throughout the record, a musical anodyne that doubles as a playground for altered states of consciousness. Pairing fantastical wordsmithing and mind-bending soundscapes, listeners are sure to find themselves obsessed with lemons… namely those of the dope variety."
-Renowned for Sound
The Thing Is
The Thing
Debut album from the Brooklyn-based indie rock band that delivers a refreshing and energetic sound, drawing from garage, psych, and classic rock influences.
The Gift of Missing
Salt Lick
Moments of intense instrumentation with tender hooks and vocals showcasing the band's indie-rock sound with fuzzy, sprawling guitars.
