Listening Now : In The Afterglow – Hollow Words
In The Afterglow unleash a powerful statement with Hollow Words, a dense and urgent anti-war cut that trades subtlety for sheer emotional force. The British-Canadian project led by Alfred Hermida builds a relentless wall of sound, where shoegaze textures and post-rock weight collide with a driving pulse. Beneath the distortion lies a clear message, confronting the gap between political language and lived reality.
Rather than relying on traditional protest tropes, the track feels raw and immediate, capturing disillusionment in motion and leaving a lasting impact through its intensity and sonic weight.

Listening Now : J. Johnson Esposito – Invisible Man
J. Johnson Esposito delivers a nocturnal slow burner with Invisible Man, a jazz infused ballad steeped in intimacy and cinematic atmosphere. Drawing from classic crooner tradition while embracing a contemporary edge, the track unfolds with patience, guided by velvety vocals and subtle instrumentation. Based on a style that bridges old school sophistication with modern indie soul textures, Esposito crafts a reflective, emotionally resonant piece. Its restrained elegance allows vulnerability to shine without excess, creating a late night mood that lingers.
If you dig 60s soft rock acts like Bread, this one is definitely for you, and worth repeat listens.

Listening Now : Reverend Jon – My Setting Sun
Reverend Jon unveils My Setting Sun, a hypnotic new wave-leaning cut that thrives on groove, atmosphere, and emotional lift. Built around live drums and looping techniques, the track carries an organic pulse that gradually expands into something cinematic, blending analog warmth with a modern sheen. Rooted in a performance-driven approach, Reverend Jon shapes a sound that feels both intimate and expansive, where deep synth basslines and shimmering layers support a chorus designed to linger long after it fades.
It is a slow-burning, immersive piece that captures the kind of energy made for shared moments and late-night repetition.

Listening Now : Fleur bleu·e – All the Little Beings
Fleur Bleu·e craft something quietly haunting with All the Little Beings, a dream pop piece that feels suspended between memory and displacement. Formed in France and later relocating to Pennsylvania, the duo channel their sense of cultural in-betweenness into a track that shimmers with nostalgia while carrying an undercurrent of unease. Hypnotic guitar patterns ripple beneath Delphine Lucy Lam’s more immediate, emotionally charged vocals, evoking the invisible life of spaces left behind. Blurring shoegaze textures with a sharper new wave edge, the song captures the strange intimacy of places, and the ghosts, real or imagined, that linger within them.

My life for the past four and a half years consists of doctor visits, chatting with nurses, buying her flowers that make me sneeze, my mind wandering about childhood memories while holding her hand. Nevertheless, whenever her prescription is re-filled, I’m quickly notified. One day I received that reassuring alert and thought to myself, YAY, “Medications In Bloom” again.”Medications In Bloom is available on limited edition compact disc and on all major digital outlets worldwide.
