Written by Zack Kibodeaux of Blue Water Highway, “Alchemist” is built around an inspired central metaphor.

Some artists create music to tell stories, while others build entire worlds that invite listeners to question the stories they already believe. Watch Me Die Inside is one such project.

Instead of offering clear-cut narratives or easy conclusions, Watch Me Die Inside challenges listeners to examine the ideas of identity, certainty, truth, and perception, encouraging them to embrace curiosity over certainty. The latest album, Infinity Fall III, is a compelling continuation of that artistic…

That vision is brought to…

There is something refreshing about an album that doesn’t try to overwhelm its audience with elaborate concepts or polished perfection. Dan Higgins’ debut album, Twenty Twenty Six, succeeds because it embraces sincerity above everything else. Across seven thoughtfully crafted tracks, the Adelaide-based Welsh singer-songwriter transforms everyday experiences into emotionally resonant songs that feel personal without becoming inaccessible. Drawing inspiration from Britpop, early 2000s alternative rock, melodic punk, and indie music, Higgins creates a sound that is both nostalgic and contemporary. Listeners may hear traces of the artists who influenced his musical upbringing, but Twenty Twenty Six never feels derivative. Instead,…
