Experiments In Sound And Synthesiser From Bell Barrow Explore The Abstraction Of Recidivism22/4/2025 
Bell Barrow
Recidivism Washington DC Obscure, experimental, and out of the human darkness, Bell Barrow is the latest sonic semblance from the awkwardly awesome Saccharine Underground. The not-for-profit label enjoys pushing the most indescribable and the sincerely fascinating darkwave and gothcore productions. With a tone that resonates on the strange and adapting the story as our modern times reflect today’s art, a feedback loop of gloom and philosophy begins to snake into our ears. It’s not the devil, it’s not a whispering lie, it’s intelligent skin-shedding muse music that conjures rumination, reflection, and gleeful gothic gloop. A new album by the name of CoreCore Pulp enjoys a series of down and devious compositions that explore the phenomenon of artificial power created by modern algorithms. A radio-length track from the record, Recidivism looks at our capacity to reoffend even when we should know better. Grimy and sodden with reverb, rampant bass repeat beats hammer in on a wave of ambient alarm. The manic sense of jagged polygeny rips apart any sense of musical formula. Eerie cello tones begin to leer and lurch in the shady corners as bass and drums cacophony together in a galloping barrage of strange livestock. An absolute departure from the billboard charts, this atmospheric injection of sound suddenly expands the scope of what we ought to be doing with our synthesiser technology. The pressure and pulse of the piece pushes internal buttons and reveals utterness in emotion without saying a word or even making much sense. Drama of the highest calibre.

No One Is Alone Boston She released the song on Easter Day, a time of rebirth and renewal. In the darkness of the cave, it's easy to feel alone. When it’s dark and the world has turned its back on you, and there’s no one left but yourself, who can you turn to? No One Is Alone, for every busybody, uninterested, self-absorbed, there is a kind a generous, helpful and sharing person who knows that other people matter too. Staci Gruber has put her ideas into musical form, reminding all of us that loneliness is an illusion. The Harvard Medical School professor and cannabis research scientist understands isolation. Maybe a smaller version of you is inside, crying out for help, maybe there is a fear or a worry that no one wants to understand, perhaps other people just don’t know how to respond. This piece of music can help inspire and influence the right choices. Written alongside Michael Orland from American Idol credit and produced by Backstreet Boys and NSYNC maestro Avli Avliav, can anything stop the positivity? Stand aside, press play, and get this pop rock positivity on repeat. It starts with a boppin’ piano groove, chords and melody dance on pivoting percussive motions. Staci Gruber sings, the song has a great laid-back attitude that pushes into classic rock arenas with her funky driven groove. Punchy bass bumps along the track as the rhythm inspires animatronic dancing and emotive lyric projection. A lush chorus, mixed with classical melodies and soaring orchestrations with guitars and synths keeps the title going. The vocal is one of those tracks we feel like we can sing but when we try, Staci has the upper hand with her elastic range. It’s got fun, lovely party sensibilities, and a theme beyond the usual storybook. You’re Never Alone just feels good to listen to. Give it a like. You can follow Staci Gruber on Instagram

Far Away Star Harlem With a strong influence from the mighty Duke Ellington, the contemporary jazz musician Candice Hoyes presents her gorgeous version of the Swedish classic, Far Away Star. Hailing from Harlem, the world-famous district of New York, the award-winning Candice Hoyes is perfectly placed to bring her fascinating creativity to every corner of the field. For those who don’t know, the Harlem Renaissance has seen the cultural and historical heritage of the area become a beacon for maker and muse alike. The Nite Bjuti member enlisted Grammy Winner Ted Nash for this record, resulting in a classic yet fantastic jazz arrangement that floats every kind of boat. Having recently been previewed by the UK’s Giles Peterson on Radio 6, plus with accolades stretching from Vogue to Jazz Times, it seems that Candice Hoyes is completely at home in her music and everyone has room at the inn as well. Let’s see what the Far Away Star is all about and listen. The sleek and sweet vibrancy of the jazz octet begins with a loose and melodic key. The tone is set for Candice to begin. She offers such a beautiful voice, dressed in full choral garb, the heavenly and operatic soprano style hits home. The music brings a completely jazz and abstraction sense to the classical projection of voice and the merging is something enchanting. As Candice presents her own lyrical deviations from the script, the initial framework of the piece is left to the band who interpret the score with an acute sense of freedom and boundless ambition. It’s what jazz is all about, the metaphysical quality of the wanderings portrays not only subtle flow but a storyline we could never utter with words. Utterly brilliant.

Backstabbers Los Angeles Out now on Hey!Fever Records, the LA Punk four-piece Heartwells present the latest single. Backstabbers is written about people who lose respect for you once you don’t offer the thing they want. Perhaps it’s superiority, perhaps it’s a door to a particular crowd, perhaps they don’t feel comfortable around you for strange and personal reasons, or maybe they just want your money, when the next thing they do is treat you poorly you know their true character. Was their friendship so loosely tied that one small thing can make them become vindictive and callous? It does break your heart, but with good tunes and an attitude to match, we can sew it up with safety pins, put a patch on it, and prepare for the next adventure. Here’s one just for you. A hard-hitting guitar distortion chugs away and takes chunks out of the room. Then, drums and bass join the fray while a searing lead guitar continues to sing. The vocals begin, absolute punk style singing with vocal harmonies and gruff elocution to match, a happy-go-punky swagger pushes on through the classic riffs and rolls of rhythmic palm-muted licks. Quality drumming keeps a super-fast pace with a wall of cymbals cemented together with huge tom hits and bass kicks that envelope a fast-shooting snare. For the middle section, the drummer goes into another zone and demonstrates a huge barrage of artillery from the skins and metalwork that leads into the last hurrah from the singing members to let everything out before the end.

Fintan McKahey
Higher Place Cork Back with brand-new material, Irish songwriter and music producer Fintan McKahey has stopped the show once again. Higher Place not just a new number, it’s a moment in time that defines the artist’s dedication and positive motivation to give his fans the very best. With massive shoes to fill, since being named as Hot for 2021 by Hot Press Magazine, the strong shouldered Fintan McKahey took the strain and pulled the beast into 2025. He’s still hot, he’s still got it, and to be honest, if he was good in 21 then he’s somewhat sizzling today. Get your fire extinguishers at the ready, hopefully we won’t need them, let’s go to the Higher Place. A wholesome and thoroughbred guitar stroke begins the song as bass and drum dive in and dish the groove copiously. The smooth rhythm manifests gracefully as slide-string blues winds down the spring and let’s Fintan begin. The lyrics are folky and with an RnB rock n roll edge that feels like Chilli Peppers or something slow by Guns n Roses. The music however, is something else. It’s oceanic with choppy waves of emotional rhythm that crash into guitar that pools with reverb and sonic psychology. A short number, filled with humanity and sensation, Higher Place is a romantic and moving combination of personality and song.

Levi Robin
Healing Is Coming Orange County Disillusioned with the state school conveyor-belt system, Levi Robin took to performing music and has never looked back. Naturally, we all still learn how to play, how to write, how to perform, and manage one’s own affairs. Education never stops but for some of us, it is best done on our own merit. Levi Robin has broken all the boundaries set down by the culture he grew up in and gained millions of streams for his beautiful productions. Having opened for the superstar Matisyahu, the artist inspired by acts like Radiohead, Mingus, Hendrix, and Bach has a new single called Healing Is Coming. In the thirteen years since his debut self-titled EP, Levi Robin has gradually matured in scope and depth with his ability to convey emotion and quality. Let’s be one of the first to hear this latest song. A subtle chiming ambience spins the atmosphere before a folk inspired guitar begins to chug with a Rolling Stones feel. Levi Robin enters with his synonymous voice; it matches the timbre of the music with an expert clarity and vibrancy that emotes with each bar. The swirling abstractions of tone curl like gentle fingernails on the body of music as the progressive lyrics journey through hope and compassionate positivity. A guitar, voice, and drum mix that punches well above its weight, the passionate and heart-felt production lends character beyond the sum of its parts.
