Apollos Burning redefines point of view with new release “skewed”
Apollos Burning‘s new single, “Skewed,” is a powerful and moving song that doesn’t just ask listeners to hear differently, it also asks them to see differently. From the very first atmospheric guitar sounds, the song creates a world that seems a little off-kilter, as if reality itself doesn’t want to stay in place.
“Skewed” moves between opposites with no fear. The smooth, melodic vocals draw the listener in with a sense of vulnerability, then shift to harsher, more intense tones that give the song a mainstream metal edge. This duality is the heart of the song, showing the emotional tension of not fitting into strict social norms and instead celebrating the beauty of imperfection.
The song’s lyrics and ideas are very introspective. They look at what it means to live with a “skewed” perspective, one that doesn’t conform and instead finds meaning in the bent, broken, and unusual. The song has a cinematic, almost dreamlike quality thanks to images like “a city bending sideways” and the idea of “beauty in the bending.”

E.G. Phillips explores cosmic escape with “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon”
E.G. Phillips’ new release, “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon,” is a track that drifts effortlessly between genres and atmospheres. “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon” is an experience that feels suspended in time and space.
Blending alt-folk with jazz-fusion touches, the track creates a dreamy and unpredictable wave of radio-static textures that ripple beneath the verses, giving the impression of floating through an unfamiliar yet comforting universe. There’s a sense of detachment here, as if reality has been left behind entirely.
Just as listeners settle into its hazy rhythm, the bridge shifts gears into a jazz-rock groove, complete with trumpet lines that subtly nod to a fusion-inspired legacy. This transition feels organic, enhancing the track’s exploratory nature rather than disrupting it. “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon” is a beautifully strange offering that invites listeners to step outside themselves and embrace the unknown, even if only for a few minutes.

Captain Iron and the Windrift Band put on a sci-fi pop show with new release “Ultra Sound”
Captain Iron / Windrift Band opens a vivid portal with “Ultra Sound,” a bold, creative dance-pop song that fully embraces cinematic storytelling. From the outset, the track establishes itself as more than just a catchy club-ready anthem, it’s a narrative-driven experience wrapped in glossy, futuristic production.
“Ultra Sound” is a great track because of its unique idea, a sexy fembot synth lures astronauts into a trap, then uses an ultrasonic tractor beam to steal their ship. It’s fun, a little strange, and very different from what you usually hear in pop music. This lets Captain Iron show off his unique lyrical style. The story feels like it’s moving forward with each beat, like it’s a movie.
It’s easy to see how “Ultra Sound” could grow even further with full-scale production or collaboration, since its foundation already offers plenty of possibilities. Captain Iron / Windrift Band gives us a song that is both fun and smart. “Ultra Sound” doesn’t just want people to dance, it wants to take them to a colorful, imaginative world where stories and sounds come together thrillingly.
