Matt John Henderson’s Heliopolis Is a Sunday Morning State of Mind
Rooted in folk rock but flecked with post-rock textures, jazz inflections, and graceful string arrangements, the album unfolds patiently, inviting you to slow down and listen. It’s a beautifully crafted companion for a lazy Sunday and a genuine morning-after indulgence. We all need albums like this to escape to a one stage or another!

Between Living and Letting Go: Tethered Hands’ How We Live Is How We Die
What began as a singular vision has grown into a collective of five remarkable artists, scattered across the globe yet bound by the same pulse. Together, they reach out through the chaos of our modern world, offering something rare and transcendent. They create music that doesn’t just fill the air, but seeps into the soul, demanding it to be felt, inhaled, and remembered.

Late Arrival, Lasting Impact: Khan’s Ritualistic Masterwork
Khan’s The Fair and Warlike Form//Return To Dust doesn’t just sound big and imposing, it looks and feels like an artifact pulled from some parallel ritual culture. The album’s stark, enigmatic artwork sets the tone before a note is even played, hinting at both austerity and hallucination

Turpentine Valley Return And Unveil Their First Single "List"
When the heaviness comes rolling in, it arrives as a slow implosion rather than an outburst. It's menacing and very Turpentine Valley! The tone is dense and oppressive and totally addictive. It’s within this push and pull, between tenderness and sheer mass, that List finds its power

Still Giving Us Beauty: Ef’s Anniversary Resurrection
The entire album has been re-recorded and subtly re-imagined, carrying a gentle shimmer of modern-day EF while preserving the haunting nostalgia that made the original so beloved. It feels like opening a time capsule only to find the memories inside somehow clearer, brighter, and more fragile than you remembered.

Exploring the Emotional Depths of We Lost The Sea's A Single Flower
Fast forward more than five years later and I believe the post-music world has finally been rewarded with the album it’s been a long-time yearning for. What is beautiful about A Single Flower is that rather than trying to surpass Departure Songs, it’s been written to compliment it. It’s that quieter, contemplative brother that speaks volumes in whispers, but who’s message is quietly devastating. For me, A Single Flower is already a masterpiece.

On vinyl, Mountainscape's Iridescent hits like a seismic pulse
With Iridescent, Mountainscape have leveled up yet again. Iridescent is an album that balances scales and emotion, where atmosphere doesn’t soften the blows but makes them land harder. The band prove that instrumental metal just needs a vision, and in that respect, they’ve delivered it in spades

The Color Of Cyan paint a new soundscape with their latest album "As Human"
As Human is a beautifully orchestrated collision of restraint and power, and it reimagines what post-rock can become when infused with a classical soul.
