MIVA breaks open inner conflict with the cinematic and unfiltered single “Sanity”
In “Sanity,” MIVA discusses the conflict between being weak and strong. This is one of the most daring songs on the FOR THE RECORD EP. The song uses atmospheric hip-hop, jazz, breaks, and alternative soundscapes to create a cinematic background that reflects the emotional depth of the song. It’s a piece that feels both big and small, taking listeners into the mind of someone who is struggling to find clarity.
The single looks at times when emotional weight and personal growth clash. MIVA uses layered textures and a rhythmic pulse to show how fragile and powerful the search for stability can be. It does its job by creating a kind of internal push-and-pull. The story feels close, honest, and very human, an unfiltered look at someone who is trying to find the right balance between control and giving up.
“Sanity” does well musically by using contrast, mixing soft and hard sounds, and using stillness and motion. The sound of the track fits with the introspective story, giving it a feeling of wandering through one’s own thoughts while still moving forward. The mix makes the song sound like a movie, which is both modern and timeless.
“Sanity” is one of MIVA’s most emotional and honest pieces of work to date, and it marks a turning point in his artistic development. It’s not just a song; it’s a statement of emotional truth that invites people to look inside themselves. MIVA keeps making a world where honesty and art go hand in hand with this release.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
