Tamar Berk Rewinds the Clock with “indiesleaze 2005”
Tamar Berk’s new music video “indiesleaze 2005” is like a neon-lit time capsule that has been cracked open. It brings back memories of being young, hungry, and living for the next gig. The song was written when Tamar was living in Chicago and going from band to band, soaking up every rehearsal space, every crowded venue corner, and every last-minute lineup change that felt like fate.
In “indiesleaze 2005,” Tamar captures that intoxicating in-between stage, too young to slow down, too ambitious to breathe, and too in love with the idea of music to do anything but chase the next stage. The song has that restless energy common in a time when every show felt like a lifeline, and every band practice felt like a new start.
The music video has a raw, nostalgic look that matches this sense of urgency. It feels like going through an old digital camera full of blurry basement photos and night-time flashes, imperfect, electric, and alive. Tamar confidently leans into the aesthetic, giving viewers a ride through the unfiltered creative freedom of the indie scene in the mid-2000s. This is a memory brought back to life on purpose.
“Indiesleaze 2005” is made for people who like indie rock, DIY culture, and telling stories through alternative music. It reminds us of why artists start, why they keep going, and why those early, crazy years often have a big impact on everything that comes after. Tamar doesn’t just honor her past; she takes it back with heart, purpose, and undeniable truth.

Kristjan Ruus creates a dreamlike cinematic experience with “OF ALL WARM THINGS” (video)
At the heart of Kristjan Ruus’ new release, “OF ALL WARM THINGS,” is a quiet sense of time passing, a cinematic instrumental electronic piece that transforms a fleeting visual experience into a meditation on memory, emotion, and the beauty of moments that don’t last long enough. This is a very personal story told in ambiance, texture, and carefully crafted sound.
The result is a world of warmth and melancholy, a blend of emotive cinematic sound design and instrumentation drawn from Irish folk. The concertina, Irish flute, tin whistles, bodhrán, stomps, and spoons all add a human touch to the electronic base, creating a unique balance between organic tradition and modern production.
The song’s music video elaborates on these themes with designed visuals that capture the bittersweet feeling of wanting to hold on to a treasured moment, even while you know it’s already gone. Kristjan Ruus has a strong creative vision that connects sound and storytelling, as he has proven his talent for composing, directing, editing, and shaping the entire visual world.
In this release, a repeating ascending motif makes you feel time moving forward, and the rhythmic percussion provides a ritualistic energy that pulls you further into the experience. The production is big and cinematic, and every instrument gets to breathe while maintaining a strong emotional connection. “OF ALL WARM THINGS“ is an introspective meditation on fleeting sensations and the inexorable flow of time, and it is an intimate and universal immersive piece, with Kristjan Ruus’ cinematic atmosphere, rich instrumentation, and emotional depth.
