“Apothecary” by Intercontinen7al stirs a global sonic vibe with a 90s twist
Born from a collaborative process, the most recent single by Intercontinen7al, “Apothecary,” delivers a bold testament to what international collaboration can accomplish. It seamlessly merges the best of the 90s alternative rock energy with modern sonic experimentation. Featured on their newest album ‘Volume 5,’ the track represents an impressive amalgamation of diverse international talent, with the mix of Matt Smith’s gritty guitar work, Alex Burke’s intricate basslines, and the vocals of UK-based Kelly Wandless uniting to form a musical antidote to genre conformity.
“Apothecary” provides a foundation that evokes a refreshing throwback to the nostalgic nod of the golden grunge era, paying tribute to the 90s with a swirl of something contemporary and exciting. It offers a sense of walking into a concealed, mystical shop where every sound is a cure for something unspoken. Wandless’ voice drips with emotion, seamlessly floating over grungy guitar riffs and dynamic synth lines, guiding the song in unexpected directions, perfectly harmonizing with the intriguing instrumental backdrop.
What’s more striking about “Apothecary” is its captivating narrative underlying its sonic appeal. It’s a global effort recorded across all seven continents and uniting musicians to infuse an intangible richness to the track. It’s a reminder that music transcends geographical and cultural boundaries when creative minds merge styles to establish a sense of unity, reflecting something meaningful by drawing from the past and innovating for the future.
In “Apothecary,” Intercontinen7al demonstrates its adeptness in building a sophisticated, globally-inspired sonic experience. Their distinctive, almost cinematic aura captivates the audience. It elicits a desire for more of their innovative, cross-continental artistry, thereby continually challenging the perceived confines of what’s possible in music.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.

Grace Doty lights up the sky with new release “Sunset Colors”
Grace Doty’s newest single, “Sunset Colors,” takes listeners to golden-hour skies and quiet coastal roads from the start. Doty takes the emotional honesty of girl-pop from the late 1990s and early 2000s and gives it a softer, more modern look. “Sunset Colors” starts with a delicate mix of guitar and synth that makes the sound feel both dreamy and new.
“Sunset Colors” is about the feeling of falling in love for the first time, which happens naturally and without any effort, like the colors of a sunset sky slowly blending. Doty’s stories use this simplicity to let the feelings breathe rather than smother them.
“Sunset Colors” was made in her home studio along the Connecticut shoreline, the warm, atmospheric textures make you feel like you’re in the ocean air, and the music has a calm, quiet evening feel.
