Emily the Psych – Michelle Sutton
“michelle sutton turns imposter syndrome into sharp, self aware pop gold”
emily the psych, is bright, diaristic pop built around a fantastically candid lyricism and a sticky hook. crisp production and layered vocals keep the energy moving, even as the song sits kinda inside a bit of a panic spiral.
michelle sutton, based in sydney, australia, returns with an introspective, tongue in cheek release that turns new job anxiety into something singable. it’s a confident step into her next run of songs, pairing emotional detail with an easy, pop forward finish. can’t wait to hear what’s next for her.
thank u for making this michelle sutton 💖
Transmission Number 5 – Brother Dolly
“brother dolly make a unique blend of cinematic electronica, pulling you deep into the signal”
transmission number 5, blends folktronica and electro into a hazy, immersive drift. glitchy textures and skillful, atmospheric synth work move like interference through a late night soundscape, with tension and tenderness threaded together.
brother dolly, spanning the uk, japan, barcelona and yorkshire, shape this track around cold war era broadcast disruption, turning white noise into narrative. it’s an experimental release, produced like a dream, and it still feels emotional, with the concept serving the mood rather than overpowering it. essential stuff.

This Is Where – Eileen Carey
“eileen carey delivers reflective country pop with a wonderful warmth and resolve”
this is where, is polished country pop with an uplifting lift in the chorus and a steady pulse underneath. clean guitars and a wide, open melody give the breakup story space to breathe, landing more on clarity than heartbreak.
eileen carey, based in altadena, california, frames the end of a relationship as the start of becoming who you are next. the song represents another confident entry in her west coast pop country lane, built for listeners who want optimism without sugar coating. great stuff.

“larry mossburg delivers a grounded hip hop banger, letting his groove do the talking”
