 I can’t really tell you what I like about them, they are vaguely on the brink of many genres but post-hardcore is the common thread of this Sanctuary.

 A Hardcore tormented by a pure pop sensibility.

 “Keep Your Distance” is the definitive imprinting of CKTC.

 Two successful singles, the pleasant and spring-like 'Misfit', the pragmatic and sober 'Down To Earth'.

Curiosity Killed the Cat's debut album 'Keep Your Distance' blends pop and funk with charismatic vocals from Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot. The album yielded memorable singles like 'Misfit' and 'Free,' although some mixing choices feel dated today. Despite a strong start with a number one album, the band's momentum declined with subsequent releases.

 You cannot sell every 'scribble' as if it were a Basquiat.

 The songs are objectively so flat they would leave even the most typical, flabby-bottomed, scarf-wearing, white New York pop-art collectors indifferent.

David Byrne’s album American Utopia, his first solo release in 14 years, arrives with considerable hype but ultimately feels flat and uninspired. Despite strong contributions from Brian Eno and notable collaborators, the songs lack freshness and fail to excite. The album is part of a multimedia project promoting optimism but suffers from Byrne’s characteristic melodramatic and frivolous style. Overall, it disappoints compared to Byrne’s earlier, more influential work. Discover the full review of David Byrne’s American Utopia and decide if this ambitious pop project resonates with you.

 "Freedom confirms itself as an album of psychedelia with dark tones and although repetitive, it is overall pleasant."

 The strong point remains McMahon’s hypnotic voice, which I believe loses much of its potential and magic with these more institutional forms.

Amen Dunes' Freedom marks a return after extensive work, blending dark psychedelia with pop influences. Though the album features strong vocals and interesting collaborations, it struggles with repetition and some weaker, indie-inspired moments. The review sees potential but notes the album doesn't fully recapture previous standout works. Discover Amen Dunes' Freedom—stream the album now and explore its rich psychedelic textures and hypnotic vocals.

 Untethered Moon is a solid, inspired album, played with guts, and it almost touches yet another masterpiece.

 I like to think that during one of those concerts Doug's rainbow began to shine again, despite (or perhaps also because) their historic rhythm section pulled out.

Built to Spill's Untethered Moon stands as a solid and inspired album that revives the 90s alternative spirit with powerful guitars and creative lyrics. The band, led by Doug Martsch, channels their classic sound with fresh energy from new members. Notable tracks blend psychedelic and pop elements, culminating in a memorable closing track that captures the album's emotional depth. The review highlights this album as close to a masterpiece, affirming the lasting power of rock and roll. Explore Built to Spill's Untethered Moon and experience a vibrant 90s alternative rock revival today.

 Children are resilient: they crash into everything, against life but they have a guardian angel. They have thick skin.

 Truffaut tells us about the importance of experiencing a true childhood to become strong and face life with the right tenacity.

 This is how 'Hippo Lite' was born, the second studio album by DRINKS, the duo composed of Cate Le Bon and Tim Presley (White Fence) who retreated for a month during the recording stages to the town of Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort in the south of France.

 In my opinion, [the album] succeeds far less than the evident fun Cate and Tim had during their stay in this small characteristic rural center of France.

Drinks' 'Hippo Lite' is a lo-fi art-pop album shaped by the duo's month-long retreat to a quiet village in southern France. Inspired by nature, local sounds, and folk traditions, the album blends quirky, rustic elements with garage and Canterbury scene influences. Despite the evident enjoyment of the artists during the recording, the album ultimately falls short in its artistic impact. The review highlights the strong contextual background but criticizes the album's final effect as less successful than intended. Discover the rustic charm and experimental vibes of Drinks' 'Hippo Lite'—listen now and explore their unique lo-fi folk adventure!

 The beats, despite their simplicity, hit hard and aptly accompany the discomfort and unhealthy creative madness of the rapper.

 B's verse in 'Aldilà' simply reaches perfection (in its most rotten sense possible).

Eros & Thanatos is the debut album of Milanese rapper Vashish, a key figure in Italian horrorcore. The album features hard-hitting beats and dark lyrics inspired by gore films and serial killers.
