STAFF PICKS

REEBZ – Thanatosis (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: REEBZ is keeping busy with her collaborations and summer 2024 is no exception. “Thanatosis” is a REEBZ led collab with Christian Hoffmann of Toronto Is Broken, both contributing amazing vocals and forming an engrossing atmosphere whilst keeping catchy. 

Lowhill – LIQUID GREY (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dobbin recommends: Lowhill deal in bad attitude music. “LIQUID GRAY” is metalcore filled with nasty incidental guitar noises, barked vocals, and sledgehammer riffs abound. The track is a strong advance from their 2022 LP, indicating a bright future built through steady advance and patient work from the band – respect. 

iRis.EXE – DISASTER GIRL (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Maximo recommends: Following a string of high-calibre features across 2024, iRis.EXE continues to carve out her niche with “DISASTER GIRL“, a track that feels in equal measure frenetic and alluring. Syncopated rhythms dance between the urgent vocals, cascading electronics and tight percussion, making for one of iRis‘ most intriguing and left-field tracks yet.

Lastelle – Changing with the Seasons (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Jonathan recommends: With “Changes with the Seasons“, LASTELLE continue to deliver their heavily atmospheric brand of post hardcore with sincerity. This single comes with the eagrely anticipated announcement of their upcoming EP, EXIST vol. 1.
