ANTHONY JOHN SISSIAN searches inward for belonging on latest release “The Is The Sonic Map Home”

ANTHONY JOHN SISSIAN‘s latest release, “The Is The Sonic Map Home,” implies that sound may be an inner compass, leading the seeker to understand that the object of his search was already within him, rather than that home is some physical place. This thought gives the track a thoughtful place in the larger idea of belonging and self-discovery.

Lines like “Every shadow we embrace was just a mirror in the dark” and “There’s no distance to cross, the sequel was the start all along” hit hard, driving home the message. The words point to an inward journey, where distance, searching, and identity come together to mean something else.

“The Is The Sonic Map Home” is less about getting to someplace and more about seeing what has always been there. The track is intentionally anchored to its fundamental concept of sound as an internal compass and set within a broader investigation of personal authorship and interior discovery, through its connection to the HOME concept album.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”

In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.

It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.

“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
