Electronic composer Jess Forrest aka @castle.if ha

Electronic composer Jess Forrest aka @castle.if has an incredible knack of crafting songs that could soundtrack the movie version of a cult classic sci-fi book. On her latest EP Beyond, Forrest describes each of the three tracks herself, utilizing the excellent descriptor “spooky upbeat space anthem” on the standout song “Leap Year”. Slip into your best futuristic duds and get grooving.

“Soap Opera” shows @blimprock's talent for writing about one thing on the surface and another thing as you dig deeper into the song. The song is from Text Me When You Get There, a compilation by the fine folks at #fallenloverecords and today's love letter of a review is by @coolchazine. Link in bio to read all about it.

@alexnicolband (of Montrealers @hoantheband) lays out some velvety indie-rock tones on the lovely _All For Nada_. The album calls to mind the more haunting moments of Yo La Tengo's _And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out_ and flirts with Timber Timbre-style atmospherics. Songs like “Trust”, “Family Lines”, and “Mirage” float on dreamy vibes while Nichol's voice, crystalline and understated, lays down intricate and dense lyrics that draw you deeper into his rich sounds. - @jimdig_

@delachute’s “Caligula” is unafraid to look for truth—to dwell right there, in the room with a killer, and ask: why?
