1) Go With Strangers - Finding Ikigai
"Go With Strangers" is a alternative-rock band, founded by Eugene San.
Never one to want, or ever thought to step into the spotlight as a front man of a band. Alternative Rock band “Go With Strangers” was a music project that guitarist and producer Eugene San pondered long upon, at the beginning. “All my life, I hated hearing my own voice on recordings.” Eugene confessed. Caught up in meddling with ambient and electronic music, during the few years before 2021 - It all began with a ‘full-band format‘ YouTube cover song, that Eugene tried singing on during the lockdown in 2021, which reignited his passion for writing guitar-driven music. Not being able to find a compatible vocalist for the project with the inconvenience of lockdown, Eugene decided to face his social anxiety head-on, picking up the mic for the first time in his life. Fully self-produced and engineered, the debut EP “Finding Ikigai” speaks of finding one’s inner happiness, and purpose in life. “Iki-gai” is a Japanese concept that means your ‘reason for being’. To be able to do something that brings pleasure, and also the fulfillment that follows when one pursues their passion in life. Finding Ikigai EP is a mélange of emotions, ambience, and dreams. “Writing this new EP was a beautiful escape from reality for me,” said Eugene. “Into another epic, and nebulous world with metallic but lush terrains. Vast landscape of lilac tinted clouds that stretches far beyond the eye can see, with the emergence of a short-lived passing storm... I am grateful for the experience.” If you’re a fan of Alternative Rock, and Post-Rock, this could be an exciting new EP to check out early this year. credits releases February 11, 2022

4) The Asteroid No.4 - Set Your Sights
New single from album Tones Of The Sparrow out 25/3/2022
The Asteroid No.4 is an American band based north of San Francisco, CA. Originating from Philadelphia in the late 1990s, the A4 remain an active studio and live act who are considered stalwarts of the modern “psych” genre. Known for their prolific discography of reverb-drenched recordings and liquid-projected live performances, the band is often categorized as “neo-psychedelic” or “shoegaze”. Happily in acceptance of often made comparisons to acts like Spacemen 3 or “Paisley Underground” kingpins, The Rain Parade; the band indeed has a sound all its own.

5) Trentemøller - Like A Daydream (feat. Lisbet Fritze)
Trentemøller’s new album 'Memoria' out 11/2/2022 seems to exist at the confluence of inspiration, coincidence, and maybe even a little bit of the supernatural.
On 'Like A Daydream' Lisbet Fritze's earnestly delivered vocals are buoyed up by carillon guitar, tethered to a relaxed drum shuffle, by a progression of bass chords.
