Deeply emotional, raw, and heart wrenchingly beautiful. “Wen du liebst” talks about the involuntary nature of love, of how one cannot control who they fall for even if it hurts them in the end. From almost upbeat at the beginning to haunting in the middle part: The guitars show an impressive range just like the vocals which harmonise perfectly with the occasional backing. It’s the drums that bind it all together while the lyrics gets carried by the instrumentals and tells the story of a...

The indie rock quartet have come a long way already but the road is still vast. Their initial start was a small school concert, a humble beginning, but this didn’t last long. From “Rock the...

If Heaven Was Any Closer, I’d Still Choose You from Honestly The Worst was released about a week ago but something about it feels eerily familiar. The almost indie-like guitars, the drums that change from nearly silent to loud and the bassline are accompanied by lyrics typical for the band. They are poetic but raw and painfully straightforward. When listening to it I got pulled into a scene that most of us know in some way or another: Sitting on the bed realising that part of yourself is gone...

Born and raised in Vienna, I started photographing at the age of thirteen and my photography has always been shaped by the people around me. My friends have been a big source inspiration for me and working with them has allowed me to push the boundaries of my own comfort zone within a safe space. Over the years, my style moved away from classic portraits to darker photography- more and more inspired by the underground and subcultures, both in Vienna and Berlin. „Holding on“ came to life in...

Arcane Bloom’s newest single “My Collapsing Little Home” is out! The Tim Burton-esque sound, the rain in the background, and almost ominous sounding instruments, namely guitar and other sound effects, as well as heavy drum parts set this release apart from all their previous work. Having listened to all available songs I have to say that this song is my favourite. Maybe it is my love for Burtons work, or the fact that the lyrics written by Leon, the vocalist, in one of their darker times...
