We recently had the distinct honor to check out the new album, “Desire!” Via Earth Libraries, from indie electronic/ rock duo, Friend Of A Friend. You can listen to “Desire!” Here
Friend of a Friend, the duo of Claire Molek and Jason Savsani, returns with their third album, Desire! The record is an expansive and layered exploration of yearning, transformation, and connection, infused with the strange and unsettling energy of the place where it was recorded.
The making of Desire! was defined by the environment: a sprawling Victorian mansion in Illinois chosen for its seclusion, reverb-friendly spaces, and serene desert surroundings. Initially, the house seemed like the perfect creative retreat, but its unsettling presence quickly revealed itself. Strange creaks and unexplained noises filled the nights, and both Claire and Jason, usually unfazed by old houses, found themselves sleeping with their doors open, gripped by an unshakable sense that they weren’t alone.
On Desire!, Friend of a Friend refines their sonic identity while embracing an expanded palette that balances the cinematic with the intimate. The duo describes the record as a culmination of lessons learned from their previous works—In Arms and FACILITIES—pushing their sound into new, more deliberate territory. “We’ve always played with big ideas, but this time we focused on clarity,”Claire explains. “We wanted every layer, every texture to serve the narrative.”
Producer Jordan Lawler (M83), who also worked with the duo on FACILITIES, played a pivotal role in shaping the album’s sound. His approach seamlessly integrates analog and electronic elements, from shimmering synth pads to deep, tactile rhythms.
“Desire!”, from Friend Of A Friend, is beautifully layered with melodically and sonically perfect gems, that add many interesting elements to the sound and vibe of Friend Of A Friend.
“oasis”, “beautiful ppl”and “moonlight “ are three standout tracks on “Desire!” The track that really made an impression on us, was the title track, “desire “ We love the deep hauntingly beautiful tone that stayed with us long after the track ended .
We highly recommend checking out the remarkable new album, “Desire!” It is an absolute can’t miss.
We are beyond excited to share that… Portland’s (OR) new wave synth punk band, Unreal , hits the road in March for their Spring Break 2025 tour! booked via the fine folks at Sad Times Productions.
We absolutely love , Unreal, and we are super stoked they are hitting the road . You owe it to your music loving heart to go see Unreal, this spring ! We just know you will have the time of your life.
We recently have stellar opportunity, to check out the new album, “Mister Silence “ , from Boston-based alternative project Ghost on TV
The creative greatness behind , Ghost OnTv, is beautifully crafted by songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Paul DePasquale . You can listen to “Mister Silence” on Here, Apple Music , Here
There is this beautiful sense of mystery wrapped delicately at the core of “Mister Silence” , from Ghost On T.V. , this sense of mystery and curiosity gives the album a whole new dimension.
The album’s artwork, a photograph of DePasquale and a friend, backs turned, walking through Tokyo’s back alleys in search of a hidden cocktail bar, with elements of bright new technology jostling with old-school decay, reflects a scene like something out of a dystopian film, drawing us deeper into this world.
“It’s good to release art into the world,” says DePasquale, known to New England audiences for his work in celebrated alt-rock band Vary Lumar. “I have been making music and releasing it since 2001. Mister Silence feels like the result of many things re-aligning in my creative mindset and delivering something both raw and polished in more ways than just sonically.”
We felt so many emotions while listening to “Mister Silence“, from Ghost On TV , from the opening track , “Beckon” , all the way through to the closing track, “Mister Silence “ It was the one of the more memorable musical experiences we have had in quite some time.
With its seven bass-and-beat-driven tracks that skip across genre lines with ease, Mister Silence was recorded and mixed by longtime collaborator and co-conspirator Sean McLaughlin of 37’ Productions in Rockland, Massachusetts; and mastered by Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering in Boston with assistant mastering engineer Costanza Tinti.

DePasquale, brilliantly, explores many sounds and emotions on “Mister Silence “, the abrasive and confrontational “Crashonomics,” which finds DePasquale exploring glitched-out hip-hop bars. “Pictures Of Us” is perhaps the closest sonic composition to DePasquale’s past life in Vary Lumar, blending synth and rock elements, and the sweeping track plays out like a page ripped from his personal diary.
Mister Silence is all about growing older, being a bit wiser, reminiscing and learning from your past, staying true to oneself, taking liberties, while not being so damn aggressive about anything,” DePasquale says. “We live in a world where most people will wear emotions or show everything up front, looking for validation, and sometimes it is best to just be calm, quiet, thoughtful and reflective. Be silent until it makes sense not to be.”
One listen to, “Mister Silence “ and it is clear you are listening to a trip-hop , electro-pop work of musical excellence, this is definitely one you can’t afford to miss.

You can listen to “EYEZ ON ME” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here .
We were absolutely floored when we heard “EYEZ ON ME”SOPHIE SHREDZ has a style and vibe that is straight up otherworldly. In other words… she flat out rocks .
Blending exhilarating hyper-pop production with infectious pop melodies and classic rock instrumentation, she delivers an explosion of personality with each new release.
Sophie’s new single, “EYEZ ON ME,” is a frantic explosion of vibrant synths, heavy-hitting bass, and distorted vocals.“‘EYEZ ON ME’ is about a time in my life when I was getting a lot of negative attention and it felt like all eyes were on me,” she explains.
Instead of wallowing, she transformed her pain into a rebellious anthem about embracing the attention of the spotlight. “This song was a huge turning point in my life. I realized I didn’t care about what anyone thought about me. It’s about regaining confidence and making the best of bad situations.” To put it simply, “EYEZ ON ME” is the ultimate IDGAF anthem!
SOPHIE SHREDZ is the project of New Jersey-born, Nashville-based vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist Sophie Ruggiero. She was raised listening to classic rock greats like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Heart, and became an avid guitar player by the age of 7. While her current sound certainly draws influence from the experimental electronic world of hyper-pop, she also imbues her songs with a tapestry of classic rock influences, like show-stopping guitar solos and driving percussive elements.
We 100% need people like SOPHIE SHREDZ filling our ears and souls with amazing music . “EYEZ ON ME “ is so electrifying that we are pretty sure it could bring traffic to a complete stop.
Sophie is redefining what it means to be a modern day pop star — she’s bold, evocative, openly queer, and a fierce advocate for female empowerment. Her music reflects her own personal and artistic growth and experiences, making it both relatable and authentic. She hopes her music will inspire others to pursue their dreams and unlock a new level of confidence within themselves.
