“...Clad in a loosely fitting white jersey, with “Los Angeles” boldly stitched across her chest, she stepped into the spotlight like a celestial being returning home. From the first notes, the room transformed. The lighting — stark contrasts of deep shadow and radiant bursts — accentuated every rise and fall of her music’s emotional gravity. It felt like an unveiling of her inner world...”

I’ve been a longtime fan of @scarypoolparty ‘s music and his latest single brings it back to what I loved about his music from the beginning. Wrote about it. Check it out.

"...Aranda sings, “Like a runaway train / I got this feeling in my heart / Every day feels like it’s falling apart”—and there’s something in the way he phrases that last line that makes it feel like more than just lyrical craft. His voice, smooth yet weathered, croons from the core of a heart that's seen some things and hasn’t quite recovered. It’s that tension between aching vulnerability and masterful control that hits hardest, like watching a tightrope walker stumble beautifully but never fall..."

"...The track wastes no time: Rita Lukea’s vocals ooze both venom and vulnerability, flickering between command and collapse. Synth programmer Jonathon Freund and drummer Tyler Ommen deliver a tightly wound industrial pulse that channels the spirit of Chicago house through a modern lens of darkwave dread and post-punk paranoia. It’s the sound of the club just before it combusts — equal parts seductive and psychotic..."

@agenderband tore it up at @zebulonla last night for their “Berserk” album release show (3/28/25). Even with thousands of photos from SXSW still waiting on me to cull and edit, I had to make the trek—because when a band this good throws a free release party at one of the most photo-friendly venues in LA, you go.

.

Congrats on the new record, y’all. 📷 by @dklphotos  —

Blame it on the excitement over or Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)… but I had to see what @jbrekkie might look like in a Studio Ghibli world. 🌀🌸

.

Just started spinning this new album, but it is—ethereal, haunting, totally gorgeous. Felt only right to match those vibes with some dreamy animation-style visuals.

.

Thinking I may be too deep in this Ghibli-fication phase now… who should I “Ghibli-fy” next? 👀✨

I definitely spent way too much time playing with AI and turning @laurenruthward into a Studio Ghibli character… but honestly? Zero regrets. 🌸✨

It was wildly fun blending her real-world rockstar energy with some dreamy anime vibes. Might’ve opened a whole new creative rabbit hole here…

Should I Ghibli-fy someone else next? Drop your suggestions below! 👇🏽💭

“...[The lyrics to “Change Shapes”] encapsulate the essence of Mayberry’s solo venture, reflecting her journey of self-discovery and adaptation in the music industry. Her performance that night was a testament to her evolution as an artist. The setlist featured a blend of tracks from Vicious Creature, each delivered with a raw intensity that captivated the audience. Notably, she included a heartfelt cover of The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony,” adding her unique touch to the classic...”
