There’s something magical about Tombstones In Their Eyes and their new, “Under Dark Skies” album. Plenty of bands operate within the wide spectrum of psychedelic rock, but Tombstones In Their Eyes clearly stand apart; their songs swirl, forming a powerful whirlwind that pulls the listener deep into a vast, ever-shifting kaleidoscope of sound and emotion. Each track on “Under Dark Skies” feels like a magic carpet ride, lifting you effortlessly and carrying you across magnificent landscapes far above the clouds. It’s a fuzz-laden paradise, drenched in reverb that slowly absorbs you into its hazy embrace. Tombstones In Their Eyes don’t rely on bombast or volume to make an impact. On the contrary, the Los Angeles–based outfit works quietly and confidently, operating in that sweet spot between melody and atmosphere. “Under Dark Skies” sits comfortably at the crossroads of classic psychedelia, shoegaze and alternative rock. While echoes of the past are certainly present, this is far from a retro exercise. There’s a distinctly modern sensibility woven into the songs, making the album feel relevant and alive rather than nostalgic for nostalgia’s sake. It’s a record that respects its influences while carving out its own space in the contemporary rock landscape. Emotionally, the album is rich and nuanced. “Under Dark Skies” carries a bittersweet tone throughout, existing in the point where joy and melancholy collide. Moments of warmth are often shadowed by introspection, giving the music a depth that rewards repeated listens. This ability to balance light and dark emotions is one of the album’s greatest strengths, lending it an almost cinematic quality. Sonically, the album sounds warm and organic, yet unmistakably otherworldly. Colorful vocals intertwine beautifully with vibrant, shimmering guitars, forming the backbone of the record. The band’s signature sound is fully realized here — confident, cohesive and instantly recognizable. Ultimately, “Under Dark Skies” is an immersive and captivating experience. It slowly overwhelms you in the best possible way, leading to a rare, beautiful state that lingers long after notes fade.

Scissorgun have just released their brand-new album “Scream If You Wanna Go Faster”, and the single “Gone Rogue” is a clear taste of the wild, unpredictable energy they bring to this new chapter. Staying faithful to the band’s improvisational roots, the track feels alive from the very first second—restless, shifting, and pushing forward. It blends the pulse of urban electronica with rough-edged rock textures, forming a sound that is both buoyant and sharp. The foundation is built on thick, pulsing bass lines that move like a heartbeat, while guitar in overdrive cuts through the mix with raw intensity. The warm, soulful vocals carry a human touch, strengthened by sampled phrases that bring extra colour and tension. The result is an electronic volcano—pressure rising, heat increasing, and eventually an eruption of rhythm and noise that spills over you in waves. “Gone Rogue” manages to balance opposites with ease: seriousness and playfulness, chaos and control, noise and groove, vintage echoes and futuristic edges. Even when the song touches darker themes, it still carries an uplifting, physical drive that makes you want to move. This single shows Scissorgun at their most confident and creative. It’s made for bold listeners who crave electronic music with grit, imagination and character, music that doesn’t just play in the background, but grabs you, shakes you and draws you into its world. The uncharted cosmos of “Scream If You Wanna Go Faster” is wide open before us, calling to anyone willing to explore its strange beauty. How could we resist stepping through the gates of this refined, imaginative world of electronic psychedelia?!
