Having just come back from a weekend trip to Dublin, it seems appropriate that I might find myself writing about an Irish artist. Coincidentally we’ve had an interview lined up with Dylan Goff to talk about his new EP untethered (side two). A blend of singer-songwriter and indie rock influences, the EP unfolds wonderfully from… Continue reading The Forever Now Finds: Interview with Dylan Goff

Hailing from Toronto, John Puchiele Ensemble bring us their latest album “CHANGE”. The album is a stunning piece of contemporary classical / electronic crossover music. At times swelling and graceful, and others dark and contemplative, the filmic listening experience will take you from the highs of m83’s Oblivion soundtrack to the depths of Vangeli’s Bladerunner… Continue reading TFN Finds: “Change” from John Puchiele Ensemble

Tony Romaine brings us Promised Land, a blues rock song about a musician so passionate about music that they need to be taken to the afterlife with their guitar.

Ben Stewart’s Mary Jane is a psychedlic pop-rock track centred around an acoustic guitar and brooding vocals. I quite enjoy the addition of synths in the chorus, the cheeky reference to Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven, and the guitar tone modeled around David Gilmour’s of Pink Floyd. From Cape Town, South Africa, CTT Beats and… Continue reading Music Roundup: Ben Stewart, Myzol8tr & CTT Beats, Late Night Pharmacy, Z-lla, Willjoy, Zharline, Berri Mlk, HX0007, Elly Deda

LX-Press, or Alex Siegers, from Utrecht, Netherlands, writes about how everyone has a secret to share in Strictly Confidential.
