Valiancy – Voices
Whispers That Refuse to Be Ignored
Valiancy’s Voices is not a song you casually put on in the background. It demands attention, then quietly pulls you inward. From the very first moments, there’s a sense of unease that feels intentional, as if the track is inviting listeners into a private mental space where thoughts echo louder than they should. The atmosphere is heavy but never overwhelming, balancing darkness with a strange, fragile beauty.
What makes Voices so compelling is its emotional honesty. The haunting vocal delivery feels raw and exposed, carrying the weight of internal conflict without slipping into melodrama. There’s a vulnerability here that feels lived-in rather than performed, giving the song an almost confessional quality. The production complements this perfectly—layered synth textures hum and swell beneath the vocals, creating a soundscape that mirrors the push and pull of a restless mind.
The use of Moog synthesizers adds a subtle, vintage warmth while still sounding modern and unsettling. Every sonic choice seems purposeful, reinforcing the song’s central struggle with negative self-talk and intrusive thoughts. Rather than offering easy comfort, Voices sits with discomfort, allowing the listener to feel seen in moments they may rarely speak about.
Ultimately, Voices stands out because it treats mental health with seriousness and respect. It’s dark, yes, but also deeply human. Valiancy has crafted a track that resonates long after it ends—one that doesn’t just ask to be heard, but understood.
Jonsor – Zu, hain garden
Midnight Pages in Bloom
With “Zu, hain garden,” Jonsor invites the listener into a hushed, deeply personal soundscape that feels less like a performance and more like a quiet confession shared in a large, breathing room. The track carries an unmistakable intimacy, shaped by its organic instrumentation and the sense that every sound has been allowed to exist naturally, without rush or excess polish. There’s space here—space to listen, to feel, and to settle into the emotional undercurrent that flows steadily throughout the piece.
What makes this song especially compelling is its balance between fragility and confidence. The arrangement is subtle yet purposeful, with acoustic textures that unfold gently, allowing the atmosphere to do much of the storytelling. The interplay of voices adds emotional depth, creating contrast while still feeling unified, as if two perspectives are quietly circling the same thought. Nothing feels forced; instead, the song moves with an unassuming grace that draws you in almost without notice.
The recording environment plays a silent but powerful role. You can sense the room around the music, lending warmth and authenticity to every note. The restrained use of percussion and the grounding presence of deeper string tones give the track a soft pulse, keeping it anchored while never disturbing its reflective mood.
“Zu, hain garden” is the kind of song that rewards stillness. It doesn’t demand attention—it earns it. In doing so, Jonsor proves a remarkable ability to transform simplicity into something quietly profound, leaving a lingering impression long after the final sound fades.
Boneyard Rebels – Raincoat
A Storm You Lean Into
Boneyard Rebels return with Raincoat, a track that feels less like a polished studio product and more like a lived-in moment you stumble upon and don’t want to leave. There’s an immediate grit to the song—raw, restless, and charged with instinct—that makes it clear this band thrives in the margins, where structure loosens and feeling takes the lead.
Raincoat moves with a tense, coiled energy. Guitars scrape and surge rather than shimmer, locking into a groove that feels deliberately unrefined, while the rhythm section keeps everything grounded with a steady, almost stubborn pulse. Subtle synth textures drift in like fog, adding an eerie undertone without softening the song’s bite. The production strikes a sweet balance: clean enough to let every element breathe, yet rough enough to preserve the band’s underground edge.
What makes the track especially compelling is its emotional contrast. There’s a sense of release running through it, as if the song exists to shake off the weight of long days and unspoken thoughts. It doesn’t chase easy hooks or neat resolutions; instead, it pulls the listener into a space that feels oddly comforting despite its rough edges. The mood is reflective but never passive, charged with quiet defiance and a kind of hard-earned calm.
With Raincoat, Boneyard Rebels sound confident in their identity—unbothered by trends and focused on carving out their own atmosphere. It’s a song that invites repeat listens, not to decode it, but to sit with it.
Lena Romul – Niepokorni
Defiance, Amplified
With Niepokorni, Lena Romul doesn’t just release a single — she throws open a door and steps through it without looking back. This track feels like the exact moment an artist decides to stop playing safe and start playing honest. From the first moments, there’s a sense of tension and release, as if the song itself is pushing against invisible walls, daring them to push back.
The guitar riff in the verse is an undeniable highlight — sharp, confident, and charged with attitude. It sets the tone for everything that follows, grounding the track in a raw, almost confrontational energy. Yet Niepokorni isn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake. There’s depth here — a feeling of self-discovery unfolding in real time. The arrangement balances grit and control, allowing the music to feel powerful without ever tipping into chaos.
Romul’s vocal performance carries a striking emotional weight. There’s a sense of awakening in her delivery, as if each note reinforces a hard-won sense of self. The song radiates courage — not the loud, performative kind, but the quieter, more dangerous bravery of refusing to be diminished.
As the spark that ignited the Hiperfiksacja concept, Niepokorni feels essential. It captures the thrill and fear of choosing “all in or not at all,” and it does so with conviction. This is the sound of an artist claiming space, voice, and identity — unapologetically and on her own terms.
