The first single from what is expected to be Seattle-based musician and singer-songwriter Vylet Pony's next full-length Love & Ponystep. Never, in Anno Domini 2025, did I expect to be singing along to as many Call of Duty references in one song, but you know, life has a way of surprising you like that. A fun little slice of sugary glitch pop, probably the closest she's gotten to hyperpop since 2020's ANTONYMPH, and I'd argue it works even better here for me because she's now pandering to an era I'm more familiar with than the Skype scenecore of the latter. I mean, I've always had a deep-seated sub-conscious belief that Call of Duty is highly homosexual—who's to say it's that far a step to making it more sapphic like this?
Er... I guess Vylet Pony is. It's a great song.

Callie Nixon's debut album as flatroom is all it's cracked up to be and more. Not just content to be behind the boards as a talented producer with roots in the fledgling Dariacore scene, she's also an immensely affecting composer and singer-songwriter with influences from noughties-era country and folk. On I Don't Even Need, these two influences combine like headstrong bucks, relaxed and warm acoustic guitar-driven folk giving way to a rushing, soaring burst of happy hardcore arpeggios and energy. It's hands down the best song on the album, and it's really fighting for that spot between the album version of Blood sugar and the cover of When the Stars Go Blue.

From English math rock band Delta Sleep's 2018 full-length Ghost City comes a hell of an opening track, Sultans of Ping. The build-up is insane; emotionally evocative to a perfect T, a simple lyrical structure that keeps you hooked for its memorability, and the way its build seems to skitter off, filling in the extra details slowly and erratically like an oscilloscope drawing before blasting off. Devin Yüceil's voice is at a sweet low point that feels like an anchor in the ocean as it gets slowly buried under the layers of multi-tracking and instruments. It's worth every minute you give it, and sitting at just under five? That would be considered a steal if time was money.

Getting a lot more into Spanish-language music as of recent—from Spain, France, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and in the case of Esteman, Colombia. This piece, the second off his 2021 album Si Volviera A Nacer, features some beautiful vocals from Mexico's Daniela Spalla, and a melody that is eerily reminiscent (to me, anyway) of Centuries by Fall Out Boy. A very nocturnal song that I've been using as a soundtrack to my nightly drive home from work this past month.
