Join Haunting Ghosts in the shadows of their Jungian post-hardcore release, Falling

Posted on 22 May 2024

The evocateurs in NYC’s most cerebral alt post-hardcore outfit, Haunting Ghosts, have written themselves into the legacy of the genre with the heart-in-throat visceralism and stylistically expansive uninhibition caged within their debut LP, Shadow Work, which unnerved the airwaves on May 12th.

Inspired by Carl Jung’s shadow work, the album delves into the labyrinth of the unconscious, unearthing the hidden recesses where repressed desires, fears, and instincts dwell. This journey into the shadow mirrors a fictional protagonist’s descent into darkness, confronting the raw and primal aspects of his psyche. As he traverses this inner abyss, he grapples with his darkest impulses, seeking to embrace and integrate these fragmented parts of his soul. Through this harrowing yet transformative voyage, Haunting Ghosts follows the protagonist as he moves towards self-discovery and wholeness, revealing the profound beauty and strength that arise from confronting inner shadows.

Fans of Motionless in White, Asking Alexandria, and Sleeping With Sirens will instantly feel the efficaciousness of the exhilarant hooks within the standout single, Falling, which carries the quintessential components of post-hardcore within the augmented earworm which defies the genre constraints to occupy unchartered territory. Haunting Ghosts went in for the kill with their technical skill and their ability to reflect the most untamed facets of the human experience to deliver resonance at its rawest.

Elizabeth Metcalfe prescribed synth-pop serenity with her latest single, Falling

Posted on 20 May 2024

New Zealand singer-songwriter, Elizabeth Metcalfe’s career reached its zenith following the launch of her latest single, Falling. The dreamy synth-pop melodies rival the ethereal pastel hues within Swift’s Tortured Poet’s Society album as Metcalfe transcends the soul delivered in the hyped-to-the-nth-degree LP.

If you’ve been sleeping on Metcalfe since she made her debut in 2019, there’s no better way to awaken your senses to her ability to push future-forward synth-pop into unchartered spiritual territory with the force of her arcane vocal register.

While some love songs only scratch the surface of the light love can bring to our lives and how it casts away the shadows of the past, Elizabeth Metcalfe delivered a love story that is arguably more fully rounded than the Notebook. It’s a panoramic Blockbuster encased in a 3-minute pop production that leaves you hanging on the outro lyric “What if give you my heart and you break it” which juxtaposes the soulful lyrical serenity and Enya-esque beguile that drifted through the chorus and verses.

If you can’t get enough of Metcalfe’s discography, you won’t have long to wait until she unveils her debut EP later this year.

Falling cascaded onto the airwaves on April 19; stream the single on Spotify now.

Grand Nights descended with his demons in the orchestral pop-rock masterpiece, Falling

Posted on 8 August 2023

Render your heartstrings raw with the latest single, Falling, from the alt-pop evocateur, Grand Nights. The orchestral pop-rock outpour of artfully uninhibited emotion takes you on a cinematic cruise through the kind of introspection that only dares to visit you in the dead of night; hang onto the ornately atmospheric nostalgia tight as you’re driven through the 80s and 90s via a route never taken.

After cutting his teeth as a drummer in a metal band, honing his talents in rock, punk and pop bands, the one-man powerhouse behind Grand Nights was ready to take to the centre stage and exhibit his heart-in-throat lyrics that amplify in visceralism to the tune of his panoramically immersive melodies.

With his EP, South of Everything, in the pipeline, there has never been a better time to implant Grand Nights on your radar.

Can’t Let You Go: AR Santiago wonders why this dreamy romance didn’t work out on Falling

Posted on 15 August 2022

Taken off her soaring 3-track EP called #SadGirlHours, AR Santiago wanted to fly high with her previous lover but got tired of the call dodging and blatant lies on her hot new single called Falling.

AR Santiago is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based RnB singer-songwriter who has an enduring style that shall probably sweep you off your feet.

”This song was very personal to me. I wrote it 5 years ago about an affair I had with someone who unbeknownst to me had a girlfriend. I speak about how infatuated I was and how I saw the signs but, I was naïve.” ~ AR Santiago

Sensing the energy shift that took place rather suddenly, AR Santiago is at her natural best and delivers when the heartbroken needed it most. With a glorious vocal ability and a smooth production that might send you into a different galaxy, this is something rather special from a hugely skilled creative only getting better.

Falling from Pennsylvania-based RnB singer-songwriter AR Santiago is a song that you will probably find unforgettable. With classy vocals lathered all over this introspective story-made for those who have been cruelly let down-feeling rather emotional about a past love will come rather easily here.

Sung with a genuine passion and massive gusto, this is a song with an actual message to truly ponder if you have felt this empty feeling before.
