Solveig Sørbø writes music in which baroque can meet electronics, and an angelic soprano can meet cimbaloms that evoke skeletons from horror films. Her new opera Heroin Chic, based on the novel by Maria Kjos Fonn, explores addiction, identity, death, and the desire to break beyond one’s own self – without moralising, but with a…

Jah Decko knows how to change the game.

We talked with the 20-year-old musician and producer…

Music journalists love catchy labels, but with Matt of Matts, traditional genres are powerless. Synth-pop about divorce set to drum machines, Disney fairy tales adapted for Gnostics, and dancing on the ruins of religious trauma-on November 20, the psych-folktronica artist from Dallas is releasing his debut album, “Strange Hymns”. Following the release of the single…

Almost 20 years after the emergence of Fulton Lights, Andrew Spencer Goldman returns with a new album, “Best World” – a record about time, memory, aging, parenthood, and the attempt not to miss life while it is happening. There was also a more immediate reason for the conversation: the new single “A Little Bit Low,”…

Her music blends country storytelling, pop, and light self-irony – something especially evident in her new EP “Side B Stories“.
