Indie-folk singer-songwriter Will Knox has released his highly anticipated fourth album ‘English Silence’. A collection of beautifully constructed, introspective collection, the track boasts 11 soundscapes of wonderful, warming organic textures and some beautifully crafted alternative-folk soundscapes.

Sunk Loto Reclaim Their Place with ‘God Complex’ – Backseat Mafia
After two decades of near silence, Sunk Loto have returned to with their first new music since the early 2000s. Their latest release, ‘The Gallows Wait,’ signalled the band’s rebirth, and now, nearly a year later, they are pushing boundaries once more with their newest track, ‘God Complex’—one of the heaviest and most unrelenting pieces in their career. From the opening notes, ‘God Complex’ tears through any expectation of a mellow return. The track is an assault of searing guitar riffs, relentless drums, and basslines that feel equally unhinged. Jason Brown, the band’s frontman, alternates between clean, melodic vocals and brutal screams, amplifying the intensity of the piece in a…
