In an era where digital platforms determine opinions and what people see, Motihari Brigade brings “Problematic,” an album full of curiosity, defiance, and the courage to challenge. This is the band’s third album and was written and recorded by guitarist, singer & songwriter Eric Winston.

The album contains 13 tracks of energetic guitar work and ambient arrangements exploring the chaos of modern living, the power of technology, and the significance of independent thought. The album opens with “Cowboy Armageddon,” which sets the tone of its rebellious energy, taking on the systems that shape society. The title track, “Problematic,” continues this message of recasting being difficult or controversial as a sign that one is willing to think outside of accepted narratives.

“Chatbot Don’t Like It” critiques algorithmic culture, and “The Great Refusal” expands this exploration to examine how artificial intelligence impacts creativity, identity, and human connection. “Save Ourselves” and “Not What They Seem” are paired together to tell a story of conflict, manipulation, and the forces that drive people apart. Four atmospheric songs, “Heedless Of The Storm,” “Ten Years Time,” “Pleasure Craft,” and “Someone’s Dream,” reflect years of disappointment and frustration with world events.

Every track is another perspective on people looking for consciousness, while the others are stuck in shallow digital trends. “Fortunate Son” is a modern interpretation of a classic protest song. It makes a statement on power, war, and political influence. “Problematic (Reprise)” reinforces the album’s central message, and “Chatbot Don’t Like It (Radio Clean Edit)” approaches the album’s tech-heavy theme from another angle.

“Problematic” is a challenging, thought-provoking journey through uncertainty, social pressure, and the search for truth. In this world of digital noise, Motihari Brigade makes a record that inspires you to listen more closely, question more deeply, and get back in touch with your own voice.

Katie Noir has just released her debut album, “What Is Unseen Still Exists,” a 23-track concept album that turns overthinking, emotions, memories, and things left unsaid into a powerful musical story. The first half of the album explores the themes of the album with different levels of emotion.

“Bitches’ Road” examines how attitude and sarcasm can hide deeper issues, and “Soft Again (Don’t Quote Me On That)” continues the discussion of openness and the challenge of lowering emotional walls. “MC1” shifts into a more intimate space, about private thoughts and attachment, and “Only Us” captures the feeling of holding on to connections that are separate from the outside world. “Out of Touch” is about emotional distance and avoidance, and “Shake That Ass” uses energy and surface-level confidence to show how distractions can be a way to hide deeper feelings.

The following chapter deals with important relationships. “L.I.S.A.” adds an important character to the story of the album, too, and “Hey Sara” gives us a warm moment of thanks and friendship. “Lexi Waited Anyway” is about loyalty, patience, and miscommunication, whereas “The Sisterhood” is about the quiet power of real friendship.

The album then takes a turn into a more introspective mood with “What Is Unseen Still Exists,” where Katie Noir articulates that unseen emotions, memories, and personal experiences still exist and matter. “3:17 AM (Skit)” details the late-night overthinking, while “Morning Fever,” “University Day,” “My Dorm,” and “Hospital Day” explore day-to-day living, personal challenges, and emotional struggles. “Weekend” and “Sad Little Soul” follow the honest reflection through themes of regret and loneliness.

The final chapter is the road to acceptance and hope. “Relapse” is about the struggle to get past it, while “Lighthouse” is about finding the way in troubled times. The “Number 23” connects with the hidden details throughout the project, and “Music” shows the importance of taking your emotions and creating something creative out of them. Katie Noir ends with “Until Soon,” a note of growth and acceptance that tells us all that we experience becomes part of a larger story. “What Is Unseen Still Exists” is a thoughtful debut that gives voice to what often goes unseen.
