STAFF PICKS
(G)I-DLE – I NEVER DIE
Label – Cube Entertainment
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: Making their comeback after just over a year following the departure of beloved member Seo Soojin, (G)I-DLE release possibly some of their best work in their first full length album.
Heriot – Profound Morality (Single)
Label – Church Road Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Heriot are hard as fucking nails.
Monuments – False Providence (feat. Mick Gordon) (Single)
Label – Century Media Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: With a string of incredibly strong singles thus far leading up to its release, In Stasis is shaping up to be one of Monuments‘ best to date. “False Providence” follows suit with one of the most infectious choruses the band have written to date, replete with all the rapid-pace djenty goodness seasoned Monuments veterans have come to know and love. Check back in April for our full review of the record closer to release!
