REVIEWS | New Music Discoveries 010

Volume 010 of our New Music Discoveries is a revelation: for late-night feelers, sound chameleons, and anyone chasing clarity in the chaos. This week’s discoveries pulse with tension, glow with honesty, and refuse to stay in one lane, spanning post-punk, dream pop, genre-fluid soul, and synth-laced anthems. From Will Sims’ shape-shifting debut album to Leonie Sherif’s smoky, after-hours remix, every song captures a moment between dusk and dawn.

"Do You Feel Alive?" by Will Sims

A decade in the making, "Do You Feel Alive?" is the long-awaited debut album from Baltimore’s Will Sims, and it’s worth every second. Spanning pop, alt-rock, industrial, ska, EDM, and funk, the record bursts with creativity, grit, and emotional depth. Each track stands confidently on its own, tied together by Will’s undeniable ear for hooks and dynamic arrangements. We especially love “Better Off Alone”, a shimmering standout and instant earworm that blends introspection with an anthemic punch. It’s the kind of track you play once and hum for days. Bold, eclectic, and full of life, "Do You Feel Alive?" is a passionate testament to persistence and sound exploration. It's the sound of an artist finally stepping into his moment.

"See Her" by Karlie

Karlie returns with "See Her", a shimmering, 80s-inspired pop anthem about self-image and feminine power. Produced with Geronimo Latumeten, the track layers dreamy synths and vulnerable vocals into a confident, mirror-gazing moment of clarity. We love how "See Her" turns quiet doubt into bold self-recognition; it’s both intimate and explosive, like a private realization set to a neon dancefloor. If "There Will Be Light" was the whisper, "See Her" is the roar.

"Headlights" by Liars Teeth

Liars Teeth return with “Headlights”, a brooding, feverish burst of post-punk and alt-rock that drags you under and doesn’t let go. Gritty, hypnotic, and emotionally charged, it marks a bold new direction for the band. This is music you don’t just hear, you feel it in your bones.

"Never Let It Die" by The Music of Sound

Dream pop trio The Music of Sound return with “Never Let It Die”, a luminous, flute-laced swirl of atmosphere, emotion, and melody. Sherin’s vocals glow over Neil’s cinematic keys, while Elena’s flute work adds a haunting shimmer. It’s hypnotic, heartfelt, and beautifully strange, a band forging their own path through sound and soul.

"TWILIGHT (Sp Deville Remix)" by Leonie Sherif

East London’s Leonie Sherif returns with a sultry, after-hours reimagining of her alt-RnB track “TWILIGHT”. Remixed by Sp Deville, this version pulses with tension, intimacy, and groove, a slow-burning blend of Amapiano bass, ghostly percussion, and smoky vocals that feel like whispered confessions in the dark. It’s sensual, hypnotic, and rich with textural detail, like incense smoke curling through a club at closing time. With each release, Leonie expands her world of genre-fluid soul and sonic storytelling.

"The Gloaming" by Dom Moore

Dom Moore’s latest single "The Gloaming" is an indie rock track built for summer sunset drives: glittering guitars and steady rhythms unfolding like the golden hour it’s named after. As the final single ahead of his debut EP "In & Out of Lines", it’s a reflective, heartfelt piece that channels the ache of early adulthood: longing for belonging, balance, and recognition. What makes "The Gloaming" shine is its quiet acceptance. Its peaceful ambience doesn’t push for resolution, but lingers instead in the bittersweet middle. It’s melancholic, radiant, and honest.
