The Narcissist Cookbook present ‘This Is How We Get Better’ album
The Narcissist Cookbook, led by talented musician Matt Johnston, has released their third album “This Is How We Get Better.” The album has 12 songs and lasts for 41 minutes and 14 seconds. It is a beautiful piece of art that takes the listener on a journey through different emotions. The album teaches us about being true to ourselves and overcoming difficulties.
Matt Johnston started his musical journey while listening to American blues and country rock. He is a self-taught artist who has evolved. He rebelled against conventional sounds after listening to Green Day’s “Insomniac” and started to love unconventional music.
“This Is How We Get Better” is not just an ordinary album. It shows Matt’s transformation and reflects his story of discovering himself, overcoming adversity, and being honest about his feelings. The album has honest lyrics and dominant acoustic arrangements that show his journey.
The first song, “Practically ImPerfect,” is vulnerable and sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song “the Pattern” explores the complexities of life, while “Good Morning Sunshine” teaches us about resilience. The album climaxes with the emotional song “Eaten Alive by Wolves.”
Matt Johnston’s songs explore themes of mental health, non-monogamy, and abusive relationships, making the album relatable to a diverse audience. The album shows his commitment to self-acceptance and the power of facing our fears.
The Narcissist Cookbook’s unique music blends thrashy acoustic punk with folk storytelling and one-person theatre performances. Matt’s queerness is an important part of his storytelling, creating an empowering musical experience.
The Narcissist Cookbook has plans to tour internationally in 2024, and a compilation album featuring the highly-requested “Courtney (Director’s Cut)” is also in the works. Furthermore, Matt Johnston continues his artistic exploration with the upcoming album “MYTH.”

Anacy blends Afrobeats and Amapiano into a powerful anthem of freedom with “Khulula”
Anacy’s “Khulula” captures this transition phase by fusing Afrobeats and amapiano elements to convey feelings of exasperation, emotional exhaustion, and the yearning for change in a spirited musical journey. The track is a reflection of the moment when somebody decides to step away from old patterns, to make room for new energy, new connections, and a new perspective.
“Khulula” was born out of the feeling of being cut off from the familiar and being tired of being let down again and again. It has the emotional weight of a person about to break free. Thus, the song is about moving on but also about being open to the unexpected episodes that can create adrenaline and emotional charge. It captures the difficult space between letting go and moving into the unknown but exciting.
The production is a blend of warm grooves and a modern feel, so the song is good for listening to by itself or at parties. Anacy’s assured artistry combines storytelling and addictive rhythms to produce a song that reminds you of your own moments of transformation. Anacy from Cape Town, South Africa, is one of the new breed of independent artists bringing a fresh perspective to the music industry. And “Khulula” celebrates the power of change, of self-discovery, of emotional freedom, and of an artist connected to melody, culture, and the sound of today.
