Poetry may be becoming a dying art form, but it lives and breathes through the hauntingly melodic introspection in the standout single, She Writes Poetry, from Run the Enemy’s hotly anticipated debut album, Trail of Tears. After the post-punk-tinged and angularly cavernous lead guitar work in the prelude, the timbre of the melancholic indie vocal lines spectrally appears in the achingly pensive release which finds the monochrome middle ground between Editors earlier work and Interpol’s most affecting expositions of ennui. With the final crescendo, She Writes Poetry, which gives Richey Edwards and Morrissey a run for their lyrical vignette money, builds into a massive all-encompassing production with strings carving through the post-punk atmosphere. Written to allude to the abusive relationship between Plath and Ted Hughes, the Cambridge-based outfit succeeded in bringing even more tragedy to the legacy of Plath, given that she stuck her head in an oven in her final moments and penned some of the most pensively affecting works to date, that is some feat of ingenuity. Stream She Writes Poetry as part of Run The Enemy’s debut LP, Trail of Tears, on Spotify now.

As the anticipation for Miami Music Week reaches fever pitch, CAMELPHAT throws fuel to the fire. They are doing so with the latest infusion into their groundbreaking remix album, Spiritual Milk. Hot on the heels of the initial remix rollout, this dynamic duo has unleashed four electrifying new versions that are poised to dominate both club scenes and festival stages. This latest collection features the seasoned artistry of Fideles, Øostil, Tigerblind, and Dorian Craft. This roster showcases the breadth of talent converging on the project, released under the prestigious banners of When Stars Align and The Nations. A Melodic Odyssey with Veteran Flair The remix odyssey embarks with Fideles returning the favor for CAMELPHAT’s remix of the Afterlife hit, ‘Night After Night,’ by delivering a potent reimagining of ‘In Your Eyes.’ This track first reverberated through the crowds of Afterlife Tulum, and has since become a standout anthem. Following closely is Øostil with the album’s third rendition of “In Your Eyes.” Øostil‘s signature melodic techno groove, enriched with a unique blend of synths and kick drums. This marks a compelling addition to the Spiritual Milk saga. The Rising Stars and Their Sonic Innovations Not to be overshadowed, Tigerblind marks a return to the spotlight with a high-octane version of ‘Compute’. This remix ups the tempo and energy in a display of musical prowess. Having lain dormant since 2022, Tigerblind’s resurgence is a clarion call to the industry. It is clear to see why heavyweights like CAMELPHAT, Swedish House Mafia, and Solomun have already thrown their support behind the emerging talent. Dorian Craft then takes us on an afro-house journey with his take on ‘Embers’. Craft infuses the collaboration with Shimza and Julia Church with a rich, cultural tapestry of sound that only he can conjure. A Remix Album that Continues to Evolve With this second batch of remixes, CAMELPHAT not only expands their discography but also cements their status as curators of the evolving dance music landscape. Each artist’s unique approach to remixing tracks from “Spiritual Milk” adds a new layer of depth and dimension to the original compositions. This makes the album a multifaceted gem in the electronic music crown. As we dive into the heart of festival season, CAMELPHAT’s remix album emerges as a beacon for club-goers and festival aficionados alike. This promises an unforgettable auditory experience that resonates with the soul of the dance floor. With the addition of these four remixes, ‘Spiritual Milk’ continues to surprise and captivate. This proves once again that CAMELPHAT is a force to be reckoned with in the music world. As the remix album evolves, it stands as a testament to the duo’s commitment to innovation and their unwavering ability to electrify listeners worldwide.

A dozen years have flown by since Spotify first graced the U.S. with its presence, marking a significant shift in how Americans consume music. Fast forward to today, and it’s clear that streaming music has woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives. According to the latest insights from the 22nd edition of MusicWatch’s U.S. Annual Music Study, a staggering 91% of the U.S. internet population engaged with a music streaming service in the last year. This data heralds a new era where over half of U.S. internet users aged 13 and over—amounting to 109 million individuals—now subscribe to music streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited. The Changing Landscape of Music Streaming The journey from the early days of internet music streaming to its current state reveals a fascinating evolution in user behavior and technology. Initially, streaming was a novelty, enjoyed by a modest 56% of Americans. This figure surged to 69% in 2014 and breezed past 80% by 2018. The year 2023 marks a milestone, with music streamers surpassing 90% of the internet population for the first time. This growth is not just about numbers; it’s about how and why we listen. MusicWatch counts various forms of streaming, from ad-supported platforms like Spotify and Pandora to video services like YouTube, excluding short-form video platforms such as TikTok and Instagram Reels. The Role of the Internet and Devices The expansion of the U.S. internet population from approximately 125 million in 2012 to 193 million in 2023 underscores the explosion in music streaming adoption. This isn’t just about more people being online; it’s about how they access the internet. The shift from dial-up to high-speed home internet, coupled with the advent of mobile internet, has been instrumental. Moreover, the reasons behind subscription payments have evolved. Early adopters were drawn to features like playlists and social network connectivity. Nowadays, as Russ Crupnick of MusicWatch points out, the convenience of seamless listening across various devices and settings has become the primary motivator. The Financial Tune of Music Streaming As music streaming services have become an integral part of our lives, they’ve also seen a notable increase in per-capita spending on recorded music, which went up by 7% from 2022. This uptick is attributed to organic growth and price inflation, with services like Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music implementing price hikes. These adjustments reflect the value users find in these services, ensuring access to their favorite tunes anytime, anywhere. Music streaming has undoubtedly changed the landscape of music consumption in the U.S., becoming a ubiquitous part of daily life. As technology and user preferences continue to evolve, the harmony between accessibility and enjoyment promises to keep the melody of music streaming alive and well for years to come.

It’s no secret that vintage is the new trend. Echoes of the past have made their return to the current scene. Vinyl, of course, is the perfect example. Now, AlphaTheta, the new brand developed by Pioneer‘s executives is bringing a luxury product that will certainly set a trend in its target audience. A rotary mixer allows the user to create more subtle, natural mixes and were quite popular back when the scene was in its early days. Alphatheta’s new rotary mixer is called Euphonia. Due to its high-end design, specific needs, such as a proper audio setup, and high-quality physical and digital copies of tracks to play on, you won’t see this become a standard at any big clubs/venues soon. Nonetheless, for those of you who are into the more complex setups and performances, expect to see this baby show up at a big artists’ setup occasionally (Yes, looking at you, Mr. Cox). Euphonia Alphatheta’s Euphonia is a 4 channel mixer, with multiple in and out audios. Its potentiometer-based design aims for a more humane feeling of the transition, making it possible to create an almost invisible transition. It includes an analogic transformer that allows you to work both digitally and analogically. Designed in collaboration with the legendary engineer Rupert Neve, it is definitely a collector’s item, both aesthetically and historically. A most iconic item in the history of the DJ profession, it is no wonder fans have been asking for this one for a long time. Although its design and price range make it quite hard to get one, it will find a loyal crowd that will build culture around it. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll have one of these next to every club mixer. And honestly, why not?

The Arcane Insignia’s moniker couldn’t be more fitting following the unveiling of their latest orchestrally aligned acoustic prog rock single, Vagrant’s Throne. The New York City duo set a new benchmark in the genre with this 8-minute epic, released as part of their LP, A Violent Whisper. The dark iteration of classical music still maintains its elegance and opulence as it grapples with the complex signatures of progressive rock’s audacious spirit and the chameleonic vocals which seamlessly shift from the histrionics of New Model Army to the rage and rancour which transcends the furore of Pantera. Formed by Lodrö Nyima, The Arcane Insignia consists of Noah Heau on cello and Nyima handling vocals, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano. Their music, a unique amalgamation of influences ranging from Tool and Steven Wilson to The Contortionist, allows the classical instrumentation to venture into darker territories than it is typically accustomed to, creating a scintillating new domain where the ornate, cutting classical strings meet cathartic aural oblivion. This fusion also opens an unholy doorway to a realm where anything is plausible and everything is cinematically striking. Following in the footsteps of bands like Ne Obliviscaris, Vagrant’s Throne, which unravels as a compelling exposition […] The post The Arcane Insignia opened an unholy doorway with their synthesis of classical instrumentation and prog rock volution, Vagrant’s Throne appeared first on A&R Factory.

Harry White’s single, A Way to Go, extracted from his seminal LP Elvera, released on February 23rd, is a profound exploration of introspective lyricism and eclectic soundscapes. The London-based artist embarked on a new musical chapter with his third album. A Way To Go, in particular, stands out as a vivid illustration of White’s artistic evolution. The influence of Nick Cave permeates through the keys and the gravelly drama of the vocal lines, while the introspective and intimate lyrics carry the magnetic flair of Leonard Cohen. White’s venture into a more eclectic sound palette is evident in the fusion of electronic effects and the inclusion of a scratchily turbulent backbeat, hinting at The National’s influence. This backdrop is more than just a sonic layer; it’s a canvas for White’s philosophy that the world’s end is inevitable, regardless of individual actions. This theme, rather than being oppressive, is presented with a liberating twist, making A Way to Go a paradoxically uplifting anthem of melancholy. The track is a compelling blend of styles, reminiscent of the transcendent zeal of ELO, yet amplified with a gothic romanticism unique to White. As the singer-songwriter gears up for live performances, A Way to Go solidifies […] The post Nick Cave Meets the National in Harry White’s Latest Feat of Melancholic Liberation, A Way to Go appeared first on A&R Factory.

And more importantly, for artists wanting to live rent-free in the minds of music fans, what are some of the most crucial components of a perennial earworm?

How Earworms Bed Down Before catchy singles were known as earworms, they were referred to as ‘sticky tunes’; regardless of the buzz words/phrases used to describe them, they allude to the phenomenon, scientifically known as involuntary musical imagery, which is a fascinating interplay of memory, emotion, and the brain’s wiring.
