Rosetta West have always gone their own way. Since forming in Illinois in the 1990s, the band has followed a path that’s less about visibility and more about staying true to what moves them. Their music infuses bluesy rock with touches of psychedelia, folk, it has a kind of quiet mysticism that’s hard to pin down. It’s a sound that doesn’t sit neatly in any one category, and that’s part of the appeal.

From the edge of Alicante’s sun-scorched streets comes something a little otherworldly. Monkey The Dog, the experimental duo formed by Francisco Patruyo and Diego Cis in 2021, return with “Polvo de Estrellas” a track that feels less like a song and more like a quiet, flickering thought sent out into the night.

There’s no hurry in this one. Instead of pushing for immediacy, the track leans into atmosphere. You can hear the patience in every element, subtle tones, wide spaces, and a steady rhythm that floats rather than drives. It’s the kind of music that gives you room to breathe and invites you to look inward.

Monkey The Dog have always taken an unconventional route, blending styles without feeling the need to label them. “Polvo de Estrellas” continues in that spirit. There’s something dreamlike in the way it unfolds, with emotion sitting just under the surface, never overstated, always felt.

This isn't a band chasing a sound. It’s a duo chasing a feeling. And in doing so, they’ve created something that lingers.

Desde las orillas de las calles alicantinas, bañadas por el sol, surge algo de otro mundo. Monkey The Dog, el dúo experimental formado por Francisco Patruyo y Diego Cis en 2021, regresa con “Polvo de Estrellas”, un tema que se siente menos como una canción y más como un pensamiento silencioso y fugaz lanzado a la noche. No hay prisa en este tema. En lugar de buscar la inmediatez, el tema se adentra en la atmósfera. Se percibe la paciencia en cada elemento: tonos sutiles, espacios amplios y un ritmo constante que flota en lugar de impulsar. Es el tipo de música que te da espacio para respirar y te invita a mirar hacia dentro. Monkey The Dog siempre ha optado por un camino poco convencional, fusionando estilos sin sentir la necesidad de etiquetarlos. “Polvo de Estrellas” continúa con ese espíritu. Hay algo onírico en su forma de desenvolverse, con la emoción a flor de piel, nunca exagerada, siempre sentida. Esta no es una banda que busca un sonido. Es un dúo que persigue un sentimiento. Y al hacerlo, han creado algo que perdura.

There’s no easy way to box in Where This Leads Us, the debut album from The SKBs, and that’s entirely the point. From the first track, it’s clear this isn’t a record trying to fit into trends. It’s a journey, plain and simple, across mood, genre, and something deeper you only really catch when you let it all play through.

Berlin-based band The Sonic Trees return with “The Story Never Grows Old”, a reflective and quietly gripping single that captures the confusion of identity in uncertain times. With icy synth lines and a slow-burning sense of tension, the track explores the weight of emotional chaos beneath a surface of calm.

Brace yourself — Vulgarithm is back with a blistering new track that pulls no punches. “Welcome to the Forgotten Show” is the latest offering from Andy “Dirt” McGurk’s genre-smashing project, and it lands like a sledgehammer swung under strobe lights. Mixing thunderous metal riffs with pulsing dancefloor energy, the track is as chaotic as it is calculated — a perfect introduction to Vulgarithm’s defiant sonic world.
