  • Why You Should Spin: Cry Baby by Vince Staples

    This was one of my most anticipated albums, ever since I saw the name and cover art, which guffaws my craws. I knew this album was going to be a banger. It also turns out, this is probably one of his most important albums to this day, despite Big Fish Theory is my favorite from…

  • Why You Should Spin: Written into Changes by Avalon Emerson & the Charm

    Like Paul Revere, I come to you by horseback to announce a bop of an album! Actually by Toyota Corolla as I blast the speakers with this indie dance pop that can induce such a high. Written into Changes is a feel good indie pop album that makes one feel light in the air to…

  • Why You Should Spin: bitknot by feeble little horse

    In 2023, there was this band that rocked the indie scene. And that indie rock band was a whimsical group named, Feeble Little Horse. I was really into their second album that probably was the one that got them the most buzz and success in the underground. I became a fan when this album checked…

  • Why You Should Spin: An Undying Love for a Burning World by Neurosis

    I found this sludge metal album and band through some buzz going around online and on platforms like Rate Your Music putting this at #1 (was #1, now #2 as it was usurped by another music group, more to come hohoho). That site has its problems that I might delve into later, but this album…

  • Why You Should Spin: Fables by Isabel Pine

    Imagine just being at your wits end and your limit threshold. What if I told you there’s a place where you can have a moment of tranquility and peace? Somewhere to dissociate from out there where all the noise and weirdos are and associate with something that is calm and meditative. If you look up…

  • Why You Should Spin: Fold by Jump Source

    I’ve never heard of this electronic duo that hails from Montreal, Quebec before this. But Resident Advisor made props to this outfit on their debut album, Fold. Francis Latreille and Patrick Holland have been going at it for a decade now and it’s surprising how long they’ve decided to jump the gun on Fold. They’ve…

  • Why You Should Spin: My Ghosts Go Ghost by By Storm

    Nathaniel Ritchie and Parker Corey make up the experimental hip hop duo By Storm. But fans who have followed them since their Injury Reserve days know that they’re very familiar with tragedy. I won’t get too into it, but since their former member Stepa J. Grogg’s unfortunate passing, it was a weight on a lot…

  • Why You Should Spin: U by underscores

    Meeeee?! No, U! I’m talking to U! It is the third album by a master of many talents, April Harper Grey aka underscores. I admittedly haven’t heard any of her past projects, but after a listen of U, I might have to do a flyby on them as this album has a lot of memorable…

  • Why You Should Spin: Solo Three by Erik Hall

    Composer and multi instrumentalist Erik Hall from Michigan has made something that is really mind boggling and calming to listen to. A man who voyeurs into other provocative works and gives us a jump start in marvel by crafting his own versions here before us. His forte is minimalism music, which I am aware of…

  • Why You Should Spin: Only Love by Peach

    I came here for the dogs, but then I stayed for the music. So, I was browsing noise rock outfits in Bandcamp and the cover art drew me in. So, this stayed on my wish list and after a couple of listens after its release, I am hooked. There’s not much information about this band…

  • Why You Should Spin: URGH by Mandy, Indiana

    When it comes to challenging listens, URGH is one. The first album from 2026 that got a hold of me by the neck is this industrial beast spearheaded by a band from Manchester, UK that goes by the name Mandy, Indiana. This is their sophomore album and the band was already hailed as a force…

  • Why You Should Spin: Eusexua by FKA Twigs

    I first heard about FKA Twigs when I first heard her amazing “Cellophane” single that followed her Magdalene release. It was so minimalist, but it was so out there in the distant aether. That’s how I would describe her music, just “out there.” That song made me look up her debut album alternative R&B record,…

  • Why You Should Spin: The BPM by Sudan Archives

    Once upon a time, a little girl named Brittney Denise Parks learned the violin and fell in love with it. That was her first treasure finding. Secondly, according to her in the Guardian, Parks stated that she found a whole new world to music when she found out on how Africans played the violin as…

  • Why You Should Spin: Lotus by Little Simz

    It was around 2018 I saw a YouTube music video of “Proud of Me” by England’s Mahalia. It was an alternative R&B soul and hip-hop single that was uplifting about someone being filled with gratitude. The verses by Mahalia herself and the chorus was already hitting, but then came Little Simz’s turn and I was…

  • Why You Should Spin: Tether by Annahstasia

    She hails from Los Angeles, one that is named Annahstasia Enuke. A very talented artist with their foot in the door of many crafts, she signed a record deal at the early age of 17. She shared some thoughts with Crack Magazine, that she hasn’t been a good fit with the industry and she knew…
