Atwood Magazine's Weekly Roundup




:: “Call It What You Want” – Roman Joon ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

Farewell, Michael Baker, and hello, Roman Joon! With every ending comes a new beginning, and the horizon seems especially promising for my favorite Brighton-based singer/songwriter. A staple of Atwood’s pages for five years and counting, indie folk artist Michael Baker has distinguished himself as a bridge between the intimately ethereal and softly cinematic, releasing four studio albums (and a litany of EPs) that evoke his own humanity, while echoing bits of universal warmth and wisdom that resonate deep in our hearts.

But the times, they are a-changin’, and after making music under his own name for nearly a decade, Baker found himself ready for a refresh. “I wanted to start fresh, really,” he explains. “Nice to be on album one again and just give it a whack out into the industry as a newbie.” His new alter-ego, Roman Joon, comes with no baggage nor expectations; the sky’s the limit for what this artist can and will do, starting with his spellbinding, dramatic, and achingly urgent debut single, “Call It What You Want.”

crawling up the walls
never to be heard
i love you
there’s always one of those
who’ll hate the way you flirt
i love you
you can call it what you want
call it what you want
cause everything happens
everything happens

“I’d had this track kicking around for a while, playing with different versions, but I kept coming back to the original demo – there was something about it I just couldn’t shake,” Baker tells Atwood Magazine. “When it came time to finish it for my debut album, I knew the heart of that demo had to stay. I brought in Chris Matthewson, who I have also collaborated with on our ‘Bloody Tourist’ project, to play baritone guitar, and Marcus Hamblett added these pitch-bent trumpets that really gave the track life. The electronic glitches came from experimenting with a Chase Bliss Mood pedal on the guitar, and the rest is history. It’s got that late-night driving vibe, perfect for head-bopping, with the real power lying in its rhythmic consistency.”

go through the tavern beau
everything you choose
go under
you can call it what you want
call it what you want
cause everything happens
everything happens

Seductive and sultry, impassioned and unrelenting, “Call It What You Want” is an exhilarating debut that ensures we’ll pay extra-special attention to this ‘new’ artist from here on out. With an album set to release in 2025, Roman Joon is without a doubt an artist to watch – one who, untethered to the past, can go anywhere and do anything. Here’s to making a fresh start.

you can call it what you want
call it what you want



:: “So Far Away From Me” – ARCHIE ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

I’ll be completely honest here and admit that I tuned into this band solely because my dog is also named Archie – but I’m damn glad I did! The all-caps Australian indie quartet ARCHIE straddle the indie rock and indie pop worlds with seasoned finesse, as is exemplified in this year’s debut EP Tell the people you love that you love them (released in February). The band’s latest single is yet another dynamic and catchy fever dream that highlights all the reasons to love this Canberra-based band: Released November 13th, “So Far Away From Me” is a bold, impassioned eruption of desire and yearning coated in slick guitar licks, fiery drumming, and rich, radiant harmonies that uplift, enchant, and inspire.

So far away from me
is it too late to turn back now.

So far away from me
but you’re all that I’m thinking about.

Starting to believe
you mean everything to me
so tell me why did I leave.

“‘So Far Away From Me’ is a song about how distance changes the relationships you have with the people you leave behind,” ARCHIE frontman Grant Simpson tells Atwood Magazine. “Sometimes you don’t recognise the value of a relationship until you are removed from it.”

“The song started with just the riff at a much slower tempo,” he explains. “We had a discussion while we were on a writing retreat together about adding another high energy rock influenced track to our set, similar to our song ‘Purpose.’ That discussion led to us speeding up the riff and finding some chords that fit underneath it. We leaned into that rock sound in the studio and the rest of the song came together quite quickly.”

From the raw emotion underpinning Simpson’s lyrics to the roaring heat and high energy driving the band’s music forever forward, “So Far Away From Me” proves as spellbinding as it is invigorating. Calling to mind bands like Catfish and the Bottlemen, Two Door Cinema Club, and Blossoms, ARCHIE are surely a part of the next great indie rock wave – and I, for one, can’t wait to hear what they serve up next.



:: “I Saw You Turning Around” – Longplayer ::

Danielle Holian, Galway, Ireland

I Saw You Turning Around” by Longplayer is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of nostalgia and personal growth. Mikey Long draws listeners in with a delicate balance of lush instrumentation and introspective lyrics, creating a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. The influence of George Harrison is palpable, particularly in the rich guitar arrangements that echo the warmth and depth of classic rock. Long’s emotive delivery perfectly encapsulates the bittersweet nature of reminiscing about a past relationship, making this track a standout in his discography. With Jay Watson’s punchy drumming and Shags Chamberlain’s atmospheric synths, Longplayer continues to push the boundaries of genre while staying true to heartfelt songwriting.



:: “Multitudes of Mystery” – Jordana ::

Bárbara Martínez Campuzano, México

Welcome to track five of Jordana’s new album Lively Premonition: “Multitudes of Mystery.” Might as well add, welcome to the party world sung by the musician. Relaxed, dreamy sound carried by guitars and drums, and especially Jordana’s voice, construct an enjoyable dream pop song that introduces the listener to the chaos of partying. Between lyrical content and dialogue from people going to or at a party, it would sure drag somebody into a wild perspective of a partygoer. This new album may contain songs with different topics, like love and grief, but this track sure is amusing and on the matter of partying, but as well containing a rhythm that could be used for partying.

Jordana and producer Emmet Kai did a raw description of what having fun can be like. The lines “feel the weight of thunder” as well as “mythical chivalry” are metaphorically strange and subtle at once. Even if these leave the listener in doubt, it doesn’t matter, because the partygoer is confused by the end, too. What happened that party night? It sure has a bunch of mysteries.



:: “Soho Grand” – ROREY ::

Chloe Robinson, California

Have you ever been in such a rough place mentally, you are scared you will never find relief? Many of us have been there, unsure of how to move forward and what to do next. ROREY’s reflective track “Soho Grand” details her mental health journey through lush vocals and dreamy instrumentation. It begs the question, “does it get better”? Lyrics such as “used to see my future, don’t know what I’m here for,” could not be more relatable. When our minds have trapped us in a dark cycle it can feel as if nothing matters and we have no purpose. ROREY is reminding us that all hope is not lost. She reveals, “I think we’ve all been at a place where we wondered if things would ever get better. That feeling kept me from seeking help because, for a while, I thought, What’s the point if it never does? Spoiler alert—it did.”

The New York native singer-songwriter was playing guitar as early as age six and taught herself piano by age 14. In 2021 she released her first single “Predictable.” What she could not predict though was that same year she was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. During that time she wrote six of the eight songs featured on her upcoming sophomore EP Dysphoria. Her intimate and honest pieces allow listeners to connect deeply to every raw emotion.



:: “Creature of Your Kind” – Last Grasp ::

Danielle Holian, Galway, Ireland

Last Grasp’s latest release, “Creature of Your Kind,” is a powerful ode to goth’s past, weaving together threads from darkwave, industrial, and deathrock into a sound that’s both nostalgic and unmistakably fresh. The track pulsates with the icy chill of ‘80s darkwave, driven by hypnotic synths and piercing guitar riffs that evoke a world of shadows and intensity. In true goth fashion, the raw energy of the track is balanced with a moody atmosphere that feels cinematic and personal, building up tension while nodding to the unbridled spirit of classic goth influences. Fans of Vandal Moon and Drab Majesty will find familiar elements here but with a unique, gritty twist that’s all Last Grasp’s own.

Lyrically, “Creature of Your Kind” delves into the magnetic pull of desire, capturing the tumultuous allure and mystery that comes with it. Vocals hover between ethereal and haunting, exploring the vulnerability and exhilaration of attraction in a way that feels both intimate and visceral. Layered synths and relentless beats give the track a sense of urgency, carrying listeners through a dark, mesmerizing soundscape that is impossible to ignore. With this release, Last Grasp not only revives goth’s signature intensity but ALSO redefines it for a new generation, proving their prowess in bridging the gap between the genre’s storied history and its electrifying future.



:: Love and Lies – sullvn ::

Julius Robinson, California

Sullvn’s upbeat, retro soul/pop debut EP Love and Lies is a definite must-listen. The 4-track collection examines the complicated nature of relationships and the friction between honesty and deception. The offering opens with the thrilling, soulful anthem “Liars.” Many of us know that smooth talking, bullshitter who can pull the wool right over your eyes. This bold, boisterous track immediately sucks you in. The scorching vocals and glistening horns come together to create a piece that truly shines. “Oh California” is another passionate release full of oomph. The song is an energetic ode to the golden state you need to hear. “All About You” is a fiery tune about putting your partner first. This EP ender is a groovy, glittering work that leaves you begging for more.

sullvn is a 10-piece band taking vintage sounds and melding them with contemporary pop elements. They possess a rousing stage presence that gets everyone on their feet. Their songs seduce listeners with an utterly captivating soul-drenched quality. Love and Lies is only the start and we are excited to see what is next.



:: “City Limits” – Coast Arcade ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

Coast Arcade’s rousing second song of the year is a fiery, feverish alt-rock upheaval here to energize, invigorate, and inspire. Released November 1st, “City Limits” roars to life with charged guitar riffs and dramatic drumming as the New Zealand-based band reckon with that universal yearning for something bigger – for more than what the four walls of our surroundings can offer us.

I know what makes you run away
Come closer but you separate
I look past the glass
Are you becoming what you hate?
When you figure out it’s not easier
When you figure out it gets easier
Why do I feel this coming down?

“‘City Limits’ is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped by their hometown or their situation,” Coast Arcade’s Bella Bavin tells Atwood Magazine. “It’s about embracing that feeling of restlessness and using it to push toward something new. We hope listeners take away a sense of empowerment.”

You look on past the cityscape
Why did you take them all away?
The street is dark, lights are dim
And everything’s caving in
When you figure out it’s not easier
Can’t you figure out it’s not easier?
When you figure out it gets easier

Bavin commands the spotlight together with drummer Thom Boynton and bassist Leo Spykerman, the trio rising and falling in waves of raw energy as they demand our undivided attention. “City Limits” is a preamble to breaking free of our town; in order to get out, one must first know it’s their time. And in this song, we hit the breaking point; with so much unrest and unraveling going on within, it’s finally time to let go and leave ‘home’ for greener pastures, wherever they may be.

Why do I feel this coming down?
So run away, so run away in the night
In the night
When you figure out it gets easier
Why do I feel this coming down?
So run away, so run away in the night
In the night
Why do I feel this coming down?



:: Girl Machine EP – Disaster Fantasy ::

Danielle Holian, Galway, Ireland

Synth-pop duo Disaster Fantasy has unveiled their striking new EP, Girl Machine, released through Popular Noise Records, solidifying their status as a formidable force in the contemporary music scene. Known for their distinctive blend of disco, alternative pop, and experimental sounds, the duo has pushed their artistic boundaries further in this release, showcasing their most complete work to date. Girl Machine marks a culmination of their evolving sound, rooted in the gloom of synth-driven aesthetics that have garnered them widespread acclaim.

The EP presents a captivating contrast between dark, experimental undertones and infectious melodies, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of influences. Citing synth legends like Kraftwerk and OMD alongside modern icons such as LCD Soundsystem, Robyn, and Blondie, Disaster Fantasy crafts soundscapes that are both catchy and strikingly alternative. The vibrant analogue synths and danceable beats juxtaposed with a brooding atmosphere create a listening experience that is rich in texture and depth, inviting audiences to engage with the duo’s innovative approach to pop music. With Girl Machine, Disaster Fantasy not only solidify their identity, but also set the stage for their continued artistic evolution.



:: “effort in” – Nina Cobham ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

As intimate as it is intoxicating, Nina Cobham’s emotionally soaked “effort in” is a dreamy haze of seductive, sultry alt-pop. The Manchester-based singer/songwriter’s first offering of the year – released back in January, and subsequently featured on her February EP, Antes – is a beautifully brooding bilingual reverie that blurs warm, wondrous melodies with heavy, hot-on-the-mic vocals, cool drumming, and lush synth work. The result is a tranquilizing daydream: One that casts a spell over our ears and hearts as Cobham spills her soul in song.

It’s been another couple years
and I’m still tryna get my act together 

Blame it on a rainy day
or just admit the fact that we’re weathered

Seen it all before, I’m sure I’m fine
You’ve seen it all before, but not this time
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I’m tired of always questioning what’s happening
Look what happens when we put the effort in
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I’m tired of always begging for bare minimum
Look what happens when we put the effort in

“This was written in 2021, for the most part – some songs take me ages to finish because a section doesn’t feel right, so I’ll revisit it with new lyrics until something feels like it fits right, and usually it just falls into place really easily when it’s had some room to breathe (rather than having to be finished asap),” Cobham tells Atwood Magazine. “My producer Frankie Scoca and I did a Facetime session, the instrumental came out of that, then the hook kind of came to be out of nowhere. I think I sent Frankie a voice note of the hook idea while I was getting ready to go out for the day for my sister’s birthday.”

“It’s about realising you’re asking for bare minimum, and recognising you deserve better than that,” she continues. “Also, it was an observation that I tend to reciprocate what I receive, so it was a moment of, ‘this is going nowhere because it’s a cycle we’re both encouraging, and neither of us even care that much.’ I don’t think this was even about a specific person, because I was very much keeping myself to myself, but was about a re-occurring pattern I was noticing with different people being very nonchalant – I never want to be like that, or feel like that; I feel like that goes against my nature as a sensitive person.”

To this, I’m tired of you swaying
Saying what if it’s your feelings rearranging
Si estás cansado, ya puedes ir (Puedes ir)
Estoy cansada de intentar sobrevivir
Would’ve been easy, no soy pa’ ti
Nunca fui tuyo, don’t say you tried to be
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I’m tired of always questioning what’s happening
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when you put the effort in
Look what happens when I put the effort in
I’m tired of always begging for bare minimum
Look what happens when we put the effort in

I experience “effort in” as an ode to trying – to being present and wholly grounded in this world, rather than the half-in, half-out nonchalant footing so many folks opt for. And while the song itself has a way of rising our heads into the clouds, Nina Cobham’s performance will absolutely knock us out of whatever funk we’ve been in and bring us back to life.

Give me security, make it exciting
That’s the duality I wanna spend my life in
If it’s so simple, why don’t you try it?
Give me security
(When you put the effort in)
That’s the duality I wanna spend my life in
It’s so simple
(I’m tired of always begging for bare minimum)
(Look what happens when you put the effort in)



:: “Holborn Avenue” – DD Allen ::

Danielle Holian, Galway, Ireland

In “Holborn Avenue,” DD Allen crafts a heartfelt tribute to the wistfulness of first love, layering his music with vivid emotional textures that blend nostalgia with a hint of melancholy. From gentle falsetto to reverb-heavy guitars, the song unfolds as a poignant journey through love and loss, with Allen’s introspective lyrics transporting listeners back to memories that linger long after. His vocals—evocative and arresting—seamlessly bridge a classic sound reminiscent of Neil Young with a modern indie folk appeal akin to artists like Noah Kahan. The warm harmonica and subtle synth further enrich the track, lending it a depth and warmth that make each listen feel intimate and immersive.

As “Holborn Avenue” progresses, it builds from a delicate ballad into a sweeping, cinematic crescendo, mirroring the journey from youthful innocence to the realization of life’s inevitable transitions. Allen’s climactic lyric, “away from Holborn Avenue,” encapsulates the bittersweet release that follows the end of a chapter, merging personal introspection with a universally resonant theme. This song marks a pivotal artistic achievement for Allen, who turns personal nostalgia into a cathartic anthem that feels both introspective and universally relatable, inviting listeners to reflect on their own pivotal moments and the roads they’ve left behind.



:: “the real deal” – young friend ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

When you’re in love – when it’s the real deal – you don’t need the labels; you don’t need outside approval or external validation; and you don’t need anyone or anything else, because you’ve already got all you need. young friend’s second single of the year is an intimate ode to “the real deal”: A dreamy, twangy, angsty alt-folk reverie basking in the beautiful throes of love. 

I like when you’re around
You’ve got a special talent
That turns my stomach inside out
My heart is on the pavement
And my brain is on the ground
The feeling’s locked away because
It kinda freaks me out
When you don’t come around
It’s just some phony
Bullshit matrimony
I just want the real deal

“‘the real deal,’ at its core, is a love song,” young friend’s Drew Tarves tells Atwood Magazine. “It asks a lot of different questions like, are we in this? Are we going for it? This song feels like the point in the rough patch where you either make an effort to make it work or you just give up. Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was a big inspiration for my new music. David Marinelli and I talked a lot about that album when recording. I’ve also always been a big fan of Adrienne Lenker’s songwriting. I tried to put a lot of what I love about those artists into this song.”

young friend’s lyrics are unapologetic and unfiltered, his performance is gentle and earnest, and he leaves us with a smile on our faces and a fire in our hearts. “the real deal” is charming, honest, emotional, and sincere – a perfect little love song.

6 months down the road
I like to imagine
That we’re living like we’re old
Spend winters at the cabin
That your uncle almost sold
This fantasy is funny cause your
Uncle needs the money since he
Wasted his whole life
On some phony
Bullshit matrimony
I just want the real deal



:: “Touch Me” – Amelie Aldner ::

Danielle Holian, Galway, Ireland

Amelie Aldner’s latest single, “Touch Me,” wraps listeners in a soundscape that is at once intimate and expansive, blending her soulful melodies with heartfelt lyricism. Known for her delicate but deeply emotive style, Aldner crafts a song that feels like an evolution of her previous work. With “Touch Me” serving as a preview of her anticipated 2025 album, Aldner gives a glimpse of the emotional depth and musical nuance fans can expect from this new chapter. Her Scandinavian roots subtly underscore the song’s essence, infusing Nordic warmth and introspective undertones into a track that feels both familiar and fresh.

What makes “Touch Me” particularly compelling is its careful balance of minimalistic production and rich thematic resonance. The instrumental backing, a gentle mix of soft piano chords and delicate percussion, allows Aldner’s vocals to stand front and centre, drawing listeners into her contemplative world. Her lyrics, simple yet profound, explore themes of connection and spiritual warmth, adding layers that resonate with universal emotions of longing and unity. The song’s subtle gospel touches lend a spiritual weight, making each note feel intentional and every silence meaningful. With “Touch Me,” Aldner not only refines her sound but also elevates it, delivering a moving, introspective track that lingers long after it fades. This single suggests her upcoming album will be a sophisticated exploration of human connection, depth, and resilience.



:: “Every Little Thing” – Cody Smith ::

Julius Robinson, California

There is something so magical about getting to know a new romantic prospect. There are so many layers to peel back and so much to uncover. Cody Smith’s “Every Little Thing” details the excitement and passion of exploring the things that make a person unique. Through lighthearted questions like “are you an old school country girl or more top 40 radio and are you a two drink karaoke singer and why is there no ring on that finger,” the infectious country track comes to life. The song starts with simple twang guitar and then goes into a bold dance beat for a highly enticing piece. It will leave you hanging on his every query.

Smith’s musical career came to life after years of service in the Air Force. He fuses country roots with pop and rap to craft a style all his own. His genuineness and heart had gained him a large and loyal fan base. You can feel that intimate honesty in this latest single. The song is about building closer relationships and after listening you get to know him deeper as well.



:: “I’m Like Money” – Your Future Ghost ::

Chloe Robinson, California

Sometimes in the music industry it can seem like everyone wants a piece of you. They want to tell you how to act and who you should be. Scintillating synth pop/rock duo Your Future Ghost have concocted in “I’m Like Money” a track showcasing what so many females in music experience. Part of the piece is a self-love song reminding you that you’re a total badass. The additional component of the track’s message is that others may try to exploit you. The line “I’m like money, everybody wants to touch me,” is the perfect description. Her fierce vocals ascend over gritty guitars for the ultimate punchy pop anthem. The music video is a horror movie portraying a giant version of singer Kate Voegele going after a group that tries to take advantage of her.

Your Future Ghost is a project consisting of Billboard-charting singer/songwriter, musician and actress Kate Voegele and the multifaceted songwriter, producer, composer and actor Michael Grubbs. The duo first met on the set of the popular TV show drama One Tree Hill. The pair, meshing so well creatively, began collaborating over zoom during the pandemic. From there the twosome was born. Their upcoming album is a crazy collection of dark pop songs and as Voegele describes it, “finding the fun, the party, and the refuge in the chaos of a post-apocalyptic world.”



:: “feeL” – dye ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

Shivers shoot down the spine as dye’s Daniel Ye whispers right into our ears, pulling us into his darkness – and back up into the light – while beckoning us to dwell with him in a visceral, heavy space of inner reckoning and raw nostalgia. Released October 4th, “feeL” is the hauntingly beautiful fifth single from the Los Angeles-based artist, and an achingly intimate and vulnerable reflection on the fracture and dissonance between our past and present selves.

“‘feeL’ is about what could have been,” Ye tells Atwood Magazine. “This isn’t limited to just a relationship, but literally anything in life that had promise but never came to fruition. I was personally dealing with this feeling of missing out on my childhood while I was writing this one. It’s hard to put to words this deep visceral feeling of lost time, so I found it easier to put in place an idea of someone to represent those emotions.”

“I’m almost speaking to my younger self, especially in the second verse: ‘And you never seem to change, only time could rearrange, wish I could take it all away, you got me thinking, if I could remind you, I would.’ I was so deathly afraid of life as a teen I completely isolated myself from the rest of the world. I wish I could go back in time and tell that kid to not be so hard on himself. That’s the beautiful thing about music though. It could mean one thing so deeply to one person but something entirely different to someone else, and that’s the kind of song ‘feeL’ is.”

Through a wash of warm, wistful shoegaze and moody, dreamy goth pop, dye drenches our ears, our hearts, and our minds, consuming our spirits whole with his soul-stirring, spellbinding sound. Emotionally charged and churning, “feeL” stays remarkably true to its name, driving us to feel deeply as dye spills his darkest thoughts and innermost feelings out in song.



:: “If You Care” – Post-Modern Connection ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

It’s hard not to smile while listening to Post-Modern Connection’s “If You Care.” A dreamy, sun-kissed indie pop reverie – and the standout single off their 2023 EP, A Welcome Change – “If You Care” finds the Vancouver-based duo of Tega Ovie and Georges Nasrallah basking in a space full of bright, infectious energies and bold, bustling grooves. It’s a cathartic release of epic proportions – a rush of warm, propulsive music that inspires, enchants, and lights a fire within all who tune in.

If you care you would know
That I gave all I owed
I don’t mind it if we’re left alone

For a moment I had felt
Something burn before it quelled
Would I ever be the one to know

A welcome change
Is all we ever asked
Can’t forget the pain
row beyond the past



:: “Little Ones” – Two Runner ::

Mitch Mosk, Beacon, New York

We were all ‘little ones’ once – innocent and smiling sweetly, blissfully naïve to the world’s crises and complexities. You can’t (and won’t) stay young forever, but you can enjoy the ride – which is exactly how Northern California’s Two Runner chose to look at life on their latest single. Released in August, “Little Ones” is a nostalgic, heartwarming folk song full of tender, radiant harmonies and warm, emotive fiddle work.

“The song ‘Little Ones’ is a retrospective look at a childhood that moved way too fast, but appreciates growing up and the adventure that comes along with it,” Two Runner’s Paige Anderson, who performs together with bandmate Emilie Rose, tells Atwood Magazine. “I wrote this song after having some vivid flashbacks of simple moments and processing some things from my childhood, and what life was built up to in that moment. This song is for those who yearn for the adventure life has brought since childhood and are growing everyday.”

As charming as it is disarming, “Little Ones” is a gentle ray of golden-hued Americana light. Life does move way too fast, but with this song, we can slow down for a moment and cherish the journey we’ve been on so far, and the one that’s still to come.
