ADLR Shares New EP ‘Very Sophisticated’
Multi-instrumentalist, singer, and electronic musician ADLR releases his latest EP ‘Very Sophisticated’. Mixed, produced and mastered by ADLR, the dynamic four-track EP spans genres, focusing on French house, nu-disco and indietronica with the lead single ‘Won’t Let This One End’ taking centre stage.
‘Won’t Let This One End’ takes on the unpredictability of being young and dating in NYC and the constant fleeting feelings all in the pursuit of finding one that lasts. With a cycle that can be mentally draining, the track advocates living in the moment and staying present as a way to ensure “this one” a chance to last. The music reflects the mood ebbing and flowing throughout, incorporating electronic and analogue elements seamlessly with smooth lead guitar sections and funky basslines entangling with electronic drums and pads that frame the vocals perfectly.
ADLR on the EP “Sonically, I’ve been inspired by the music scene in brooklyn, and wanted to incorporate some of the more metallic sounding elements I’ve been hearing at a lot of the techno-focused clubs in the area. At the same time, I wanted to combine that vision with my vocals and funky guitar/synth style. “Very Sophisticated” as a name is meant to be taken ironically. I’ve always felt a lot of pressure to put more effort into creating some sort of brand image behind it to try and stand out. This is me going overboard, which is a theme for the EP in general.”
With more tracks in the pipeline and plenty of upcoming shows, you’ll be sure to see a lot more of ADLR in the coming months.

Eylsia explores courage, identity and the unknown on latest release “What Will Become of Me”
Eylsia’s latest release, “What Will Become of Me,” is a cool pop starter that is built on catchy piano chords and synths. The song’s real strength lies in its honest questions about identity, courage, and what might lie beneath the surface. It is a dialogue with yourself, asking what happens when you stop looking outside and start looking inside.
Eylsia sings about finding courage within herself, a little light on her own, more than any mirror shows. It’s nice not to know, to feel like all the answers don’t have to be figured out today. The song isn’t seeking an ending or trying to resolve the question it is based on.
“What Will Become of Me” centers on the emotional core of self-discovery. The song has a very personal sense of independence, with lyrics about leaving a frame on the wall and not letting anyone else paint the answers in the sky. But Eylsia delivers a contemplative pop moment, with catchy musical elements and a message that leaves the listener with a question that could linger long after the song ends, and the courage at its heart to face the unknown.

Little Quirks expose perfectly timed romance on “Game Boy”
If every move is timed perfectly, romance can feel believable. Shiny charm comes from Little Quirks’ new single, “Game Boy,” which makes it a little more playful and a little more edgy. This is a rock-pop song for the smooth-talking romantic, the one who has all the moves down pat, from flowers on cue to moments that feel a little too cinematic.
This tension fuels the “Gameboy,” and Little Quirks balances an immediate hook with a darker undercurrent. That restlessness is key to the song’s appeal, and it gives the release a sense of constant movement, making its playful attitude active rather than passive. Beneath that happy surface is a smart doubt about romantic performances that are clearly designed to attract people.
“Game Boy” also clearly indicates an artistic shift for the New South Wales band. The track offers another glimpse into a bolder, darker chapter and a glimpse of their upcoming album, “She’s Wild.” Little Quirks never loses sight of the accessible qualities that make pop and rock so immediate, and it expresses the desirable ease of someone who always seems to know what to say or do.
The result is a release built on distinction, playful but pointed, catchy, energetic, and more questioning. “Game Boy” suggests Little Quirks is crafting a space between upbeat musical energy and downbeat emotional concepts. This new music comes from a band that is in a more confident, restless phase of their creative life.
