Chip Gibbons has just released a video for his latest single “Inside a Hole”, from his Billion Dollar Pill album. This track does much to showcase the wide variety of influences that are present in Gibbons’ music, but for a more in-depth exploration into Gibbons’ psyche, one needs to play the entirety of the aforementioned album. The multi-media aspect of Gibbons is something that fans need to look into; while…
The Great American Madness hints of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. The powerful storytelling style of Townsend immediately draw listeners in, while a smart, laid-back sort of instrumentation provides a stellar backdrop upon which Matt can shine.
Wild Domestic – “New Year, New Me” is a smart, taut hard rock track that blends together intricate arrangements with passionate vocals. I feel that Wild Domestic builds off of the framework of acts like 311 and Deftones and adds just a bit of emotive rock to make something that will resound loudly in the minds and hearts of listeners.
Don’t Belong is the first track on Stellarscope’s Standing In The Shadow Of Your Ghost, a dense and bushy track that takes up a number of styles, sounds, and genres in the creation of a wholly unique sound. There are nods to mid-1980s The Cure, OK Computer-era Radiohead, and even acts like Muse. Falling is a dark, electronic-infused track that will work equally well in the Sisters of Mercy / Bauhaus-era of goth…
Give It Away is a passionate alternative-pop track, the first off of Philadelphia band Rugby Road’s latest, Rugby Road III. Of particular note here has to be the extended progressive-infused interlude, providing a nice boost to the single’s momentum. The vocals and drums link together to make for something that could easily be replayed; fans will be on the edges of their seats as the band moves into Back To…
Oxaï Roura has released something special with his new song “Afro-Himalayan 01: GanEshou”. The song is totally unique with a blend of electronic music styles mixed with a more traditional international sound. The song is incredibly interesting using cool instruments and different effects. The vocals are simple and enigmatic, while the music is transcendent. You feel almost an other worldy vibe in this song, I think this would be great…

MELLAH NIX – Luther The Shooter MELLAH NIX’s latest single “Luther The Shooter” has really caught our attention here at NeuFutur. The song has a great trap beat sounding similar to popular artists Migos or 21 Savage, but MELLAH NIX’s flow is unique and catchy on it’s own. The song is mastered perfectly no over lapping section and the levels are correct, making the song flow naturally and smoothly. The…
Emerald Portal – All The Running Emerald Portals single “All In The Running” is whimsical and soft. The sound is very different from current indie rock artists but is closest to someone like MGMT. The instrumentation has light strings and synths that are deep. There’s a little bit of an 80’s electro vibe going on too which makes the song sound incredibly unique. The production is clear and clean allowing…
Joseph Eid – Watch it Fall Joseph Eid’s new single “Watch it Fall” has really captured my attention. His soft indie rock harmonies mixed with classic rock instrumentation. Lots of steel guitar and other cool stuff in this song. The vocals remind you of a Sufjan Stevens meets Ed Sheeran, really unique sounding for such a young artist. The production is solid and the song flows naturally, allowing all elements…
Roy Cohen’s Take Off (featuring K.O) is a track that builds off of the late-nineties female pop scene while having an intense dance beat that equally touches upon nineties house and today’s EDM. The rising and falling of the instrumentation vis-a-vis the vocals keeps Take Off hurtling along at a quick clip.
Purplehed’s Deeper Than the Seas is a contemplative single that seems poised to be picked up on DJ’s sets for the summer festival months. The supersonic vocals, nice progression, and a more contemplative and ethereal sound ensure that this track sticks with listeners long after the song ceases to play.
Cade Thompson’s “Treasures” is a fantastic track that pushes the vocal and instrumental side of things to the highest plateau. The contemplative arrangements add gravitas to the track; the message that Thompson creates in Treasures will keep fans happy all while espousing an important meaning. The backing instrumentation is very deep, meaning that fans will be able to find something new each time that they spin this track. Cade Thompson’s got a…
David D’Angelo’s “Jade” is one of those efforts that one will need to sit back and properly focus on. The multiple layers and distinct atmosphere that D’Angelo creates here is incredibly dense and complex. There are elements that further the track along (the bassy beat and stellar percussion), but the song continues to innovate with each distinct movement.
Rental, the latest track by Kyle Davis, is a sexual and sultry track that is beautiful in the dynamic that is crafted between Davis and the backing instrumentation. The deft blending of R&B and more dance styles will ensure that the track will be played equally on the rotation. We’re fans of the strong, assertive vocals and their interaction with the booming bass beats. A haunting melody placed at the…

Last Giant’s “Toys For The Devil” blends together the post-grunge of Stone Temple Pilots with the more sludgy sounds of Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity; this unique sound separates Toys From The Devil from the rest of the rock presented to the listening public.
The FREE.D mix of Roma Moss’ Leaving Traces (feat. hOlY) is a single that ties together a number of electronic music styles.

There is a cogent narrative that is weaved through the track; the interplay between the different elements is enough to have listeners continue to play the…
Atmig “Trip” is an indie-rock track that has enough in the way of nods to 1990s emo and alt-rock to keep things interesting. There is a sort of timeless sound that will appease fans of the singer-songwriter and country & western genre of the 1960s and 1970s.
It’s hard to describe the feeling that Explosions in the Sky’s music gives you, they blend indie rock, classical, even elements of metal into beautiful works of art. Their music has been known to move me to tears without a single word being said, and their performance in Cleveland on the 26th of April was just as emotional.It was my first time seeing Explosions in the Sky live and the show was…
