Existence

by THE V.O.I.D

THE V.O.I.D is my solo project. I wanted the listener to experience a journey as though they have gone "Into The Void" and who knows what discoveries they may find. Existence is about my grieving process when a loved one passed away.

Men Without Chests (Acoustic)

by Align in Time

This is a new acoustic reimagining of one of my songs, combining post-rock storytelling with a folk vibe. It's bright and warm and I think perfectly suited for the onset of summer.

Breathless

by Montear

This track helped me connect with my younger self by invoking that nostalgic feeling when looking back on childhood memories. As a result of those memories, I began writing my first song and ‘Breathless’ was born, symbolising the early life of my musical journey.

Finish It

by Align in Time

My name's John Boles and I release music under the alias Align in Time. "Finish It" is the first track revealed off of my second album, On a Spiral (out 6/19). My music is a mix of what I love about the dynamics and epic builds of post-rock with the more direct, raw energy of pop rock.

ALTAS

Unlike the typical post-rock genre tropes, ALTAS delves deep in Rhodes electric piano, cumbia and jazz grooves with post-rock heft. Composed mostly of women and minorities, the band is somewhat an anomaly in the genre. 3 members hail from Mexico, others of Mexican-American descent.
