The minimalist album title "Simmons and Schuster" shall not raise the assumption that this seven-track release is shallow or simple. On the contrary! Simmons  and Schuster  hereby present a 45-minute sonic journey to the deepest, darkest, and most remote spaces of human (sub-)consciousness, of our galaxy, and of everything beyond.

Picture Credit: Hunter Caricco   Zo - Cry Release Date: September 17, 2021 Length: 05:21 Genre: Alternative Rock Origin: Philadelphia , PA , USA 'Cry' was the lastest ex ante single of Philadelphia-based Zo's recent EP " Dark Hallways ". In the song, vocalist and songwriter Gina Castanzo  concerns the sadder parts of phenomena love and sex. Thus, 'Cry' is about sadness that can correlate with love. It is a song about hopeless affection, about the desire for physicality, and about the danger of toxic relationships. The soft and gently funky verses resemble the feeling of desire, or lying alone in your bed yearning for being with that special person you dream about. The psychedelia yields for some massive Alternative Rock driven by Castonzo 's powerful Soul voice. It is a song as bittersweet as the reality of love, intimacy, and desires themselves.

Instead of arguing why a non-existant should better not hate one of the most fabulous creatures, or why every gloryhole I will see will now remind me of not being in heaven... let's better jump into the review. "No Gloryholes in Heaven" is the sceond full-length release by Pittburgh's sextet GHU. Different to their selftitled debut , the album on hand was recorded in a studio. The eleven-track record is a trippy journey through the absurdity of life. God Hates Unicorns take their audience to places, hardly anyone dares to think about. Nihilistically and cynically, the six musicians from Pennsylvania show us around to the weirdest corners of the single ...
