Marietta EP
by Medium Construct
Medium Construct has all the time made music for the emotionally unguarded — songs that ache and shimmer with unresolved longing, crammed with the uncooked humanity of somebody attempting to make sense of their previous and current in actual time. His fifth studio album (and main label debut), Nation, noticed singer/songwriter Nick Carpenter digging into himself — each figuratively and actually — to make one thing candy, uncooked, and direct. “I wished this album to have my goddamn DNA on it,” he candidly advised me final 12 months — and it did.
With the five-track Marietta EP, Carpenter continues this intimate journey, peeling again yet one more layer as he traces his roots, his relationships, and his sense of self all the way in which again to the city that raised him. If Nation was his thesis on identification, lineage, and inherited weight, Marietta appears like its echo: A self-contained postscript that softens, sharpens, and stitches collectively what got here earlier than. It’s a five-track snapshot of unresolved recollections and ongoing processing that didn’t fairly belong to the document that got here earlier than it, however however brings us nearer and nearer to understanding Nick Carpenter in tandem along with his personal self-discovery.
He affectionately calls them his “remedy trauma tunes,” and for good motive: From the primary guitar strums of “Triple Marathon” to the ultimate echoes of “Pale Blue,” Carpenter unpacks his upbringing and childhood, his dad and mom, his (former) faith, and all the pieces in between. Every of Marietta‘s 5 beautiful songs presents a unique lens by way of which to view the previous — some jagged, some tender, all deeply human. Whether or not he’s reckoning with spiritual trauma on “Yoke” or channeling his internal dangerous boy on “Dad’s 4Runner,” Carpenter threads vulnerability by way of each second, blurring the road between private reminiscence and shared emotional fact.
Atwood Journal beforehand praised the EP’s superbly gut-wrenching opener “Triple Marathon,” a track born from pure desperation a couple of “relationship-situationship-friendship factor” (his phrases), as a “breathtaking, brutally sincere upheaval from Carpenter’s most intimate and weak depths.”
“John & Lydia” is one other instantaneous standout – an intensely emotional, achingly intimate, and deeply private anthem, the EP’s second monitor sees Carpenter singing to, for, and about his dad and mom, John and Lydia. “Did I develop up into somebody that you simply like? I do know that the folks you heard from advised you it was all black and white,” he roars, occurring to create a cinematic, soul-stirring mantra out of an inescapable, inevitable fact: “The issues that had been shaping you, the issues which might be shaping me, and we each know you’ll be able to’t run from household. Would we now have been pals if we had been born on the identical time? Possibly in one other life…”
Whether or not it’s an anthem of therapeutic, a uncooked launch, or an empathetic mirror, every monitor on Marietta holds house for reflection — each Carpenter’s and ours. The EP’s resonance lies in its specificity, in addition to its timelessness: The extra Medium Construct opens up about his personal experiences, his personal humanity, the extra listeners can see themselves in his songs. Having simply seen Medium Construct play for the primary time final week, I felt it lastly time to provide Marietta its due, and acknowledge its songs for his or her weight, their heat, and their price.

Aperture
by The Head and the Coronary heart
Open your ears, open your eyes, open your coronary heart, and take all of it in: The great, the dangerous, the enjoyment, the ache, the love – all the pieces this unbelievable life has to supply. I’ll have many extra phrases to say about The Head and the Coronary heart’s sixth studio album over time, however what I’ll say for now could be this: Fifteen years into their storied profession, the band’s folk-laced music continues to be as contemporary and enjoyable as it’s free-spirited and philosophically profound. Launched on Could ninth by way of Verve Forecast, Aperture is “an invite to get up within the current second recognizing that it’s all we now have, in all its contradictions of magnificence and ache, pleasure and despair, unfathomable vastness and impermanence,” per band member Matty Gervais. In follow, that interprets to wealthy, heat harmonies, radiant melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, invigorating instrumentals, and immediately memorable singalongs – all delivered with the fervour and seasoned energy of pros who, regardless of their years of doing this, proceed to seek out inspiration in themselves and of their on a regular basis.
What’s maybe most putting about Aperture is its vary: Whereas songs like “After the Setting Solar,” “Time With My Sins,” and “Arrow” unpack intimate reflections on identification, function, and life’s larger which means by way of a well-known, sun-kissed sound, The Head and the Coronary heart spend a substantial amount of this document attempting on new garments – each musical and topical. The pressing and emotionally charged “Cop Automobile” is an apparent standout: Jonathan Russell’s voice is at its rawest as he sings from the again of a police cruiser, indignant and scared, not sure of his current and fearful for his future: “I’m using in a cop automobile tonight, trying outdoors because the blinks go by, questioning how we gonna die.” Not solely do The Head and the Coronary heart deliver a flicker of humanity and empathy to these whom society so typically turns a blind eye, however they accomplish that with grace, tact, attraction, angst, and a good looking center finger to the boys in blue.
However that’s removed from Aperture‘s solely shiny spot: From the plush, hypnotic, and heartrending “Pool Break” and the euphoric, life-affirming “Jubilee” to the feel-good reverie “Fireplace Escape” (a very traditional THATH tune) and the hopeful “Beg, Steal, Borrow,” The Head and the Coronary heart’s sixth studio album proves to be a significant, memorable, altogether transferring ray of sunshine in 2025’s musical panorama.
Actually, it’s songs like “Pool Break” and “Jubilee” which were my private highlights thus far – two particular songs that discover The Head and the Coronary heart increasing the sonic world we’ve come to know and love by way of daring vocal harmonies and emotionally potent subjects that hit arduous and go away a long-lasting impression.
“For me, Aperture represents the selection all of us should make between resigning ourselves to darkness, or letting the sunshine in and recognizing our personal company to take action,” Matty Gervais shares. “It feels related to the occasions, in that we’re actually selecting between authoritarianism vs. democracy. Ignorance vs. enlightenment on a macro scale, and complacency/cynicism vs. hope, empathy and perseverance on the micro scale. To me, it sums up quite a lot of what every of those songs is grappling with in some type and what we’ve collectively gone by way of as a band. It’s about selecting hope many times, regardless of what number of occasions it could really feel that you’ve misplaced it.”
True to their title as soon as once more, The Head and the Coronary heart have used each their heads and their hearts to create certainly one of this 12 months’s finest albums – an electrifying, exhilarating people rock journey into our shared humanity that meets the current second with ardour, tenacity, vulnerability, and above all else, hope.
“Incorrect”
by Hudson Thames
To share your innermost self with the world is an act of quiet bravery. It means stripping again each layer, letting go of pretense, and permitting others to see the components of you which might be nonetheless therapeutic, nonetheless questioning, nonetheless uncooked. Hudson Thames does simply that in “Incorrect,” an achingly intimate piano ballad that reads like a journal entry cracked huge open. Weak, impassioned, confessional, and soul-baring, it feels much less like a efficiency and extra like an open wound. Each line pulses with unfiltered emotion as Thames lays naked his fears of affection, connection, and dedication – not as a result of he doesn’t care, however as a result of he cares so deeply it terrifies him.
I’m afraid of your love
Afraid that it’s actual
Of sharing my time
Or sharing a meal
Afraid of the way in which
You make me really feel
I’m afraid that it’s proper
Afraid that it’s good
That possibly you already know me
Like no person may
Afraid issues work out
The best way they need to
With solely a piano beneath him, Thames lets his voice bear the complete emotional weight of his phrases: “I’m afraid of your love / Afraid that it’s actual.” His singing is wealthy and stuffed with quiet desperation, carrying the load of somebody torn between wanting love and being too scared to let it in. The track’s sparse association – simply piano and voice – underscores the intimacy and depth of the second. You’re feeling such as you’re sitting subsequent to him on the keys, listening in on a personal confession he by no means meant to say out loud. He’s not hiding behind metaphor or abstraction – he’s naming his concern, line by line, verse by verse. The result’s devastating in its simplicity. The extra he opens up, the extra we really feel the ache of somebody caught within the crossfire between longing and self-protection, between love and the deep-rooted concern of what love calls for.
‘Trigger if I wished love
I’d have it now
I’d quiet down
Then I’d quiet down
However I… I can’t determine
And if I wished pals
They’d be right here now
They’d have my again
In a violent crowd
However I… bought an excessive amount of delight
However possibly that’s all improper
Incorrect improper
Possibly that’s all improper
Incorrect improper
“I feel, or at the very least I hope, that ‘Incorrect’ touches on a topic that every one artists have skilled to a point; How a lot of a ‘regular’ life do I get to have?” Thames shares. “Seemingly, artwork and performing have all the time been at odds with any relationship that I’ve been in. The connection I share with my music is sort of demanding in its personal ceremony. And when it requires all of me, it feels troublesome to create space for anything. This track is me, in a brand new chapter of my life, attempting to make some sense of that. I nonetheless don’t have the reply. However that’s the level of all the pieces that I make; to open up the dialog in hopes of discovering one.”
It’s this stress – between artwork and intimacy, presence and efficiency – that types the emotional spine of “Incorrect.” It’s a dilemma acquainted to many artists – find out how to reconcile the depth of artistic life with the intimacy of human connection – and “Incorrect” finds Thames within the thick of that stress. He’s afraid of what love may price, of who he would possibly change into if he let it in, and of what he would possibly lose if he doesn’t. But the track shouldn’t be with out hope. The chorus “I hope that I’m all improper” lands like a want whispered at midnight: tender, unsure, and quietly defiant.
I’m afraid of your dad
Afraid of his eyes
Afraid when he tells me
That I’m a superb man
Afraid of the way in which
I make him smile
I’m afraid of a son
That isn’t alive
Afraid he’ll be excellent
And develop up simply nice
Afraid of the very fact
That he’d be mine
There’s a quiet bravery in how Thames confronts himself: His concern of being liked, his uncertainty about settling down, and the haunting thought that possibly he’s constructed a life too singular for companionship. And nonetheless, he surrenders – letting somebody in.
With its traditional pop sensibility and uncooked emotional core, “Incorrect” is a standout not only for its lyricism and efficiency, however for its honesty. In laying himself naked, Hudson Thames captures one thing common: The best way concern and love typically stroll hand-in-hand, and the braveness it takes to face them each. Taken from Hudson Thames’ lately launched debut album Bambino, “Incorrect” is timeless and gutting – a diary entry, a plea, a prayer. It’s additionally probably the most compelling showcases of his energy as a vocalist and songwriter thus far. Vulnerability this sincere isn’t straightforward to seize, however when it lands, it hits like fact.
And if I wished you
You’d know by now
I’d have advised the reality
I’d have caught round
However I… I’m afraid it’s proper
And if I f* this up
That’s simply how it’s
If the long run lies
Then what lies in it
Oh I… I need to admit
I hope that I’m all improper
Incorrect improper
I hope that I’m all improper
Incorrect improper
I’m afraid of your love
Afraid that it’s actual
Of sharing my time
Or sharing a meal
Afraid of the way in which
You make me really feel
“One Factor”
by Lola Younger
Lola Younger doesn’t simply flirt with vulnerability – she dives headfirst into it, with no filter and completely no apologies. “One Factor,” her first launch of the 12 months and official return following the breakout success of This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway, is a daring, brazen, and deeply seductive declaration of want. Simmering with soul and teeming with sweaty warmth and uncooked sexuality, it’s the type of track that makes your pores and skin tingle and your chest tighten – a late-night, love-soaked reverie laced with longing, lust, and energy.
Oh, hello
I wanna take you on a bit journey
I wanna make you’re feeling so good
I wanna make you’re feeling appreciated
whenever you’re deep up in me
While you’re deep up inside
I wanna present you simply what I like
I wanna kiss you gradual, wanna f* you tough
I wanna eat you up,
I wanna cook dinner you lunch,
I wanna love you, babe
Anchored by a dubby, head-bobbing groove and fluttering guitars, “One Factor” finds Younger in full command – not simply of her voice, however of the second. Her hot-on-the-mic supply is equal components silky and sharp, shifting seamlessly from sultry coo to breathless plea to commanding presence. The lyrics are intimate, carnal, and strikingly self-aware: “Everyone needs to know ya / However me, I solely need one factor.” And but, there’s depth behind the smoldering seduction. That is way over a steamy hookup monitor – it’s an exploration of the emotional and psychological weight that usually comes with intercourse, particularly for girls.
“It’s a track that on first pay attention feels like I’m speaking about one factor. Intercourse. Which I’m, in fact. Nevertheless intercourse in itself isn’t about one factor,” Younger explains. “I wished to make a track and music video that’s thought-provoking and highlights intercourse being each a enjoyable and lightweight factor, not all the time significant, in addition to displaying how gender roles might be reversed.”
Because the verse offers solution to the pre-chorus, Younger’s voice rises with urgency and anticipation – breathy, sizzling, and hungry. The stress builds as she leans into the physicality of the second, her vocals dancing over the beat with a rising sense of want. It’s within the refrain that all the pieces snaps into place: a launch, a reckoning, and a revelation abruptly. “Break your mattress after which the couch / I wanna pull you nearer” she sings, proudly owning her needs with conviction. The manufacturing swells beneath her – sultry but playful – as she declares that her intentions are clear, singular, and fully on her phrases. The result’s hypnotic and empowering, turning lust into liberation.
the place I wanna be, I need you proper below me
Are you able to simply dwell a bit, let your hair down?
I’m screaming for you, I can’t breathe,
flip the sunshine off, I’ma moist the sheets
There’s lots sufficient for me to go ’spherical
Break your mattress after which the couch
I wanna pull you nearer
Everyone needs to know ya
However me, I solely need one factor
I don’t even need your quantity
Don’t care if you happen to bought one other
‘Trigger tonight, I’m your solely lover
And I’ma provide you with that one factor
I’ma provide you with that one factor (Uh)
In that spirit, the Dave Meyers–directed visible captures Younger’s irreverent attraction and intelligent provocations, reframing intimacy by way of playful eventualities: A boxing match together with her exes, an all-girls classroom, a date turned energy play, and even a tantalizing make-out with herself. It’s cheeky, sure – but in addition subversive, sensible, and self-possessed.
That is the magic of musical maverick Lola Younger. She writes songs that hit like a punch and linger like a kiss – unfiltered, magnetic, and endlessly assured. With “One Factor,” she continues to carve out an area that’s solely her personal: One the place intercourse and company, pleasure and complexity, don’t should be mutually unique. It’s a triumphant, teasing, and totally intoxicating return – and a reminder that few artists can command a mic, or a second, fairly like Lola Younger.
You look so cute with no garments on
It feels so proper after I’m appearing so improper
No small discuss, that shit’s too lengthy
And also you’re breakin’ my again, you’re so, so sturdy
And I need you so dangerous, like “OMG”
Turnin’ off my cellphone to DND
And a pair little hours is all I want
Panties nonetheless on, you’ll be able to go in between me, and
You understand how I wanna be,
I need you proper below me
Are you able to simply dwell a bit and let your hair down?
No person will ever know, we will placed on our personal little present
Save that big-dick vitality for my mouth, yeah
Break your mattress after which the couch
I wanna pull you nearer
Everyone needs to know ya
However me, I solely need one factor
I don’t even need your quantity
Don’t care if you happen to bought one other
‘Trigger tonight, I’m your solely lover
And I’ma provide you with that one factor (Yeah)
I’ma provide you with that one factor, that one factor,
that one factor, that one factor, ah
I’ma provide you with that one factor (All evening)
DE’WAYNE is strutting into a brand new period, and he’s doing it with model, swagger, and soul. “june” is a flame-lit anthem – electrifying, seductive, and sonically untamed. Equal components funk and punk, pop and rock, it’s a genre-defying sizzler that grooves with the fearless charisma of Prince, the eccentricity of Bowie, and the rhythmic pulse of Speaking Heads, all whereas being unmistakably and unapologetically DE’WAYNE. The title monitor off his upcoming third album (june, out July 30 by way of Fearless Information) doesn’t simply mark a return – it’s a reintroduction, a metamorphosis, and a full-bodied celebration of affection, want, and divine femininity.
Me and June go to the town
round 9 a.m. and get actually drunk
We roll up into the 7-Eleven
like we had been dropped from Heaven
and ripped a pair mini pictures
We bought hit by cameras, we’re no instance
But everyone nonetheless wanna watch
And I kissed her hand although we had been simply pals
I’m enamored by the way in which that she loves me
Constructed on uncooked guitars, actual drums, and a bassline that oozes warmth, “june” captures the visceral rush of falling head over heels – the type of love that flips your world the wrong way up and makes you’re feeling alive in your pores and skin and bones. “Her title is June, and I feel she’s fairly cute, and she or he bought that kinda factor that must be studied at school,” DE’WAYNE sings with a wink and a snarl, teetering between reverence and rebel. “And he or she bought the kinda fireplace that makes me lose my cool, plus she bought me going ahhhhhh…” It’s sizzling. It’s heavy. It’s enjoyable as hell. And it’s dripping in that DE’WAYNE magic – the type that makes you wish to dance, scream, kiss, and leap out of your pores and skin abruptly.
Her title is Junе,
and I feel she’s fairly cute
And shе’s bought that kinda factor
that must be studied at school
And he or she’s bought that kinda fireplace
that makes me lose my cool
Plus, she bought me going (Ah),
her title is June
“I wrote ‘June’ as a result of I needed to – it poured out of me,” DE’WAYNE shares. “I used to be closely impressed by Speaking Heads and Prince, however I wished this to succeed in everyone; younger or previous, no matter your background, everyone knows what it’s prefer to fall for somebody who flips your world the wrong way up. For the followers, I hope this exhibits that I’ve actually discovered my voice. I need them to really feel my coronary heart on this one – and possibly see a bit of themselves in it too.”
“‘June’ got here from an actual transformation in my life,” he continues. “It’s about assembly somebody – or one thing – that shifts your whole world. For me, that was this divine female vitality I name June. A fantastic guiding drive in my life and music. The track captures that first second of connection. Sonically, I wished it to really feel like falling in love and waking up on the identical time – uncooked guitars, actual drums, however with heat and soul.”
Me and June go good like burgundy lipstick
caught to a bottle of champagne, yeah
Each time we get round one another
makes me wanna dance the evening away
We bought hit by cameras, we’re no instance
But everyone nonetheless wanna watch (I let ’em watch)
And I kissed her hand although we had been simply pals
I’m enamored by the way in which that she loves me
“June” is a lot greater than a reputation – it’s a drive. A personality. A muse. A guiding gentle. “These songs are me expressing my love, admiration, and craving for her,” DE’WAYNE explains. “The title monitor is an anthem to strut to. It’s daring, highly effective, and undeniably for ‘june,’ because it celebrates the female energy and divine drive she represents to me.” That admiration radiates by way of each line – from the playful lyrics and cheeky callouts to the groove-heavy association that virtually glides throughout the ground. It is a love track, sure – nevertheless it’s additionally a liberation.
“That is my epic rock love album. I gave all the pieces – blood, sweat, tears, love, intercourse, spirituality, and fact,” DE’WAYNE displays. “Each track was a give up, and ‘june’ is the sunshine guiding all of it. I wished to reframe vulnerability as a superpower, not a weak point, and use this document to point out my evolution – not simply as an artist, however as a human being. I consider this can stand as probably the most highly effective rock albums of the 12 months.”
Her title is June,

See, that’s the kind of lady that I deserve
There’s no mistaking the fireplace in his supply or the liberty in his sound. “june” is a non secular awakening disguised as a sweaty evening out – and DE’WAYNE is your preacher, your accomplice, and your provocateur. He’s not following the principles; he’s rewriting them. With each beat, each shout, each twist of melody, he proves that rock music isn’t simply alive – it’s evolving, increasing, and dancing within the gentle of one thing divine.
Let’s be clear: “june” isn’t only a track. It’s a press release. And DE’WAYNE? He’s the long run.
Her title is June, and I feel she’s fairly cute

that must be studied at school
And he or she’s bought that kinda fireplace
that makes me lose my cool
Plus, she bought me going (Ah),
her title is June
“Catherine Wheel”
by Jack Garratt
Jack Garratt doesn’t simply make a comeback – he erupts again into body with a finessed firestorm of feeling. “Catherine Wheel,” the explosive lead single off his upcoming third album Pillars (out August 15th by way of Cooking Vinyl), is a radiant rush of emotion and electrical energy – a blazing, beat-driven outpouring of longing, lust, heartache, and warmth. It’s messy. It’s large. It’s all the pieces we’ve come to like about Garratt, distilled into one searing, hovering, sky-scraping anthem.
“Hit my head, scratch my again, go away me on learn, get me on monitor,” he sings within the track’s opening breath, harmonized and sizzling on the mic. His voice is shut, intimate, and uncooked – trembling with ardour one second, thundering with frustration the following. He’s in-your-face, and bigger than life, all on the identical time. “Pull on the lever, do no matter you’re feeling, set me on fireplace like a catherine wheel.” It’s a line that lingers lengthy after the track ends, not solely due to its evocative depth, however due to its layered which means. The Catherine wheel is each a childhood firework – a round pinwheel of sparks – and a brutal medieval torture system. There’s one thing poignant in that duality: The gorgeous and the painful, whirring violently in the identical breath. Love, in Garratt’s fingers, has all the time been a push and pull – and right here, it burns.
Hit my head
Scratch my again
Go away me on learn
Get me on monitor
Pull on the lever, do no matter you’re feeling
Set me on fireplace like a catherine wheel
I do know a bit about quite a lot of issues
And I can educate you find out how to hold me,
if that’s what you need
It’s as straightforward as setting fireplace to grease within the ocean
What the water burn
I do know I went away and it was getting late
However the evening was coming oh so nearer to the tip of the sunshine
And two shadows within the distance met me on my return
Theres certainly one of you, and certainly one of another person
It’s been over a decade since I first fell below Jack Garratt’s spell – for the reason that singular, seductive “Fear” first taught me that electro-pop might be bizarre, warped, and nonetheless totally heartfelt. In 2020, I wrote that his sophomore album Love, Dying & Dancing discovered Garratt “embracing a extra liberated, fluid model of himself,” creating music that was “deeply private and painfully self-aware.” That journey continues on Pillars, however the place Love, Dying & Dancing’s songs discovered Garratt wrestling with isolation and identification, “Catherine Wheel” bursts ahead with function and fervour. This isn’t the sound of an artist doubting himself – that is the sound of Jack Garratt totally lit up from the within.
There’s another person
(Pull on the lever, do no matter you’re feeling)
(Set me on fireplace like a catherine wheel)
“The track is about this situationship that I had with a lady two years in the past,” Garratt explains. “That feeling of being left on learn is heartbreaking if you find yourself somebody like me, who is completely emotionally anxious – and I’m engaged on that!” That ache seeps into each lyric, from the oil-slick metaphors to the unshakable chorus: “I don’t wanna see you with another person.” He’s spinning in circles, combusting, looking for stillness within the storm of heartbreak and obsession.
Written throughout a second of near-abandonment – “I used to be totally able to stop music,” Garratt admits – “Catherine Wheel” grew to become his spark. “It reignited my love for creating and set the tone for all the album.” That tone is certainly one of catharsis: letting each beat, each synth stab, each layered concord say the issues he couldn’t communicate aloud. It’s daring, messy, euphoric – the sonic equal of being consumed by one thing you’ll be able to’t fairly title.
Say one thing that feels sticky in my ears
‘Trigger the phrases are pouring
out of you similar to oil on water
I see you floating on the floor,
you look so fairly
However there’s bother beneath
And you already know that if you happen to wished
you would come again
And I’d take you my arms
and spin you to the tip of the sunshine
Oh in my embrace you match so good
However there’s one thing else
There’s another person
Oh oh
There’s another person
Oh oh
There’s another person
And but, inside all of the chaos is readability. “Catherine Wheel” appears like Garratt moving into the sunshine – not simply as a producer or performer, however as an individual who’s lived, damage, burned, and are available out the opposite aspect. It’s a reckoning. A renewal. And a reminder of simply how thrilling it’s to witness Jack Garratt in full flame: A limitlessly gifted one-man band – a multi-hyphenate singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who doesn’t simply make music, however embodies it. Ever since he gained the coveted Brits’ Critics’ Alternative Award and the BBC Sound Of ballot in 2016, Garratt has been a singular drive of nature, each out and in of the highlight. I’ve seen him command a complete stage by himself, weaving drums, bass, synths, guitar, and vocals into an awe-inspiring, genre-blurring symphony. There’s actually nobody else like him.
Hit my head
Scratch my again
Go away me on learn
Get me on monitor
Pull on the lever, do no matter you’re feeling
Set me on fireplace like a catherine wheel
Oh my god I simply can’t get going
Alone with out ever realizing
If I’m gonna see you in a summer time costume
I don’t wanna see you with another person
Hit my head
Scratch my again
Go away me on learn
Get me on monitor
Pull on the lever, do no matter you’re feeling
And set me on fireplace like a catherine wheel
