Premiere: Dolly Dirtbag Releases a New Single “All This Time”

Dolly Dirtbag Releases a New Single “All This Time”. “All This Time,” is a melancholy, nostalgic song about yearning for and mourning the loss of a younger, more perfect version of yourself. Written, produced, and recorded by Dolly Dirtbag. She is at times bratty, at times wistful, at times enraged and her songs range from dreamy ballads to experimental sound poems to high energy pop, all with electronic production, catchy melodies, and an affinity for processed or altered vocals. Her diverse influences include Kate Bush, Caroline Polachek, Mitski, Oneohtrix Point Never, SOPHIE, and late 90s Eurodance/pop-infused trance.

In September 2018, Dolly self-released UNCOVERED, her debut EP, and in May 2019, she graduated from CalArts with an MFA in Music Technology. At CalArts, Dolly developed the Infinity Glove and Dolly’s Selfie Stick, two tools to help bring the character(s) to life in performance. In June 2020, Dolly released the single “Broken Shell,” and also opened her online shop, where she sells handmade and reworked clothing and jewelry. She plans to release three more singles in August and September 2021: “All This Time,” ” I Want Everyone to Like Me,” and “Too Little Too Late” before self-releasing her debut full-length album, Slug Dreams on September 14, 2021.

The Dolly pantheon plays with feminine tropes like the sexualized little girl, the bratty teenager, the scorned woman, but also includes a gender-neutral, calm, and heavenly slug and seeks to complicate stereotypes by refusing to occupy a stable persona. Dolly thrives most in areas of tension between supposed opposites or differentiated categories: in between characters, genres, genders, in between high and low-brow culture. The project also straddles the line between playful, over-the-top sarcasm and raw emotional vulnerability and in doing so speaks to the universal struggle to forge a self somewhere in between authenticity and performance.

The trapheaux gracefully glides over in new release “Marble Floors”

Trapheauxly’s latest release, “Marble Floors,” is a smooth, seductive single that combines clean, complex rap verses with melodic R&B. The song’s production, soulful vocal harmonies, and steady rhythmic pulse create a luxurious yet emotionally grounded atmosphere. All of these elements work together to create this atmosphere.

The most impressive aspect of it is the way it shifts from a catchy melodic hook to a rapid-fire delivery of the lyrics. One moment, “Marble Floors” is silky smooth, and the next, it is razor sharp. This contrast is what gives the musical its identity.

When it comes to lyrical concerns of intimacy, devotion, and elevated aesthetics, the image of marble floors appears, time and time again, as a symbol of elegance and emotional weight. Trapheauxly is a polished package that combines style, substance, and value that cannot be denied in terms of replay value.

NIHLNØTHING unleashes increased tides on new release “ocean” Power

NIHLNØTHING’s latest release, “Ocean” is a powerful, immersive single that defies classification as heavy music. The track sounds huge, punishing, and emotionally complex, as the title promises, drawing on post-metal, alternative metal, sludge, groove metal, metalcore, and deathcore.

A sense of depth makes “ocean” appealing. The song balances atmosphere and intensity like a violent current under calm waters. This track has towering sonic weight and textured melodic darkness, suggesting it can go from hypnotic tension to explosive release in a heartbeat.

Genre DNA enables NIHLNØTHING to create something expansive. It has sludge, groove, metalcore urgency, and a post-metal mood that’s probably more than aggression. NIHLNØTHING excels in contrasting crushing weight with atmosphere, chaos with control, and brutality with reflection. Balance distinguishes loud from powerful music.
