Costa Rica has been on a multi-year rise in the World Happiness Report, peaking this year at an astonishing 4th place. So it’s no wonder that the music of Las Robertas, a San José based six-piece psych-rock band, is frequently described with allusions to sunshine and rainbows.  Released today, their new album All We Need Is Now,  is their most radiant yet. A follow up to 2023‘s Owen Morris produced Love Is the Answer, it explores the power of living in the present, overcoming fears and letting go of the past.  This album leans hard into into the best of […]

Today NYC's Diary announce their debut album with first single Keep Comin' Up. Drawing from the altered states of dance parties that stretch into the early morning, the track blends Madchester grooves and shoegaze wall of sound, while still rooted in the band’s love of ’60s psych and jangly guitar pop. Inspiration comes from secret countryside raves of the 90s, as well as a personal experience of stumbling into a strange ritual deep in the woods in the spirit of Young Goodman Brown. Watch the Warhol/Factory inspired clip at the right and pre-order "Spiral Bound" (limited 100 black vinyl edition) today.

Today, Costa Rica's fuzz-loving psych rockers Las Robertas share the title track All We Need is Now from their upcoming album out June 26th. This song summarizes the whole album concept in one: living in the present & learning that holding grudges will only harm you.  Las Robertas says the video is a journey into a magical, joyful, and vibrant world, paying tribute to ’90s videos shot with a handycam, where you simply recorded your everyday life in a fun way. There are no greater ambitions than a walk, happiness, colors, and friendship. Produced, shot and directed by Juan Alvarez Santos […]

NJ's High.'s find themselves in a collaborative spirit on their newest offering - a remix of last year's simmering Come Back Down  track, "George" featuring Sweet93. Turning down the distortion and volume ever so slightly from its original form.  This allows space for the added textures of sweet93 frontwoman Chloe Kohanski's distinctive Dreamladen Soprano. Chloe's voice both floats above and lingers within this song. Capturing the melancholy of the song's Twin Peaks inflected inner-world.  A hushed, somber slow burn, “George” sits with thoughts that refuse to settle. Like Cocteau Twins gone Slowcore. High is a 2026 Alt Press Artist to Watch […]
