Thee Sinseers keep it close to the heart with “How Lonely Is Lonely,” a powerful offering at the crossroads of nostalgia and emotional urgency. Taking inspiration from the breezy West Coast soul of Brenton Wood and the warm sweetness of Alton Ellis, the track is a vintage throwback, but the story is fresh, sincere, and human.

The narrator of the single is heartbroken and trapped in a relationship that is endlessly mismatched, giving Joey Quiñones the perfect stage for one of his most emotionally resonant vocal performances. His delivery is full of longing and quiet resilience, changing the song from a story of lost love into a poignant portrait of emotional survival. The authenticity and warmth of the track are largely due to the richness of Chicano culture’s musical traditions and the spirit of East LA’s soul, oldies, and lowrider scenes.

With “How Lonely Is Lonely,” Thee Sinseers prove once more why they are one of the leading voices in the current soul revival. They can respect the past, but they are not chained to it, and each note seems timeless. The result is a beautifully crafted record that will speak to anyone who has loved deeply, lost painfully, and moved on.

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.
