Every week, Music News and Liberty Music look at the best new releases from emerging and self-releasing artists.
Aaron Koenig - ‘Blow My Mind!’ Aaron Koenig releases ‘Blow My Mind!’, the title-track from his 12-track album that blends spiritual themes with soulful, guitar-driven grooves, available as vinyl, CD, and a 64-page songbook offering exclusive music, stories, and artwork. Rooted in his “Money with Love” philosophy, the project invites listeners to support independent art directly while enjoying an immersive experience that bridges soul, funk, blues, rock, and psychedelia.
YARD - ‘Friction’ YARD return with ‘EP #2’, a darker, more explosive evolution of their electropunk sound, centred around the lead single and title track ‘Friction’, a slow-burning, thunderous piece that explores burnout, disconnection, and internal chaos while pushing their post-punk/techno hybrid into even harsher territory. With growing editorial support, a rising profile on screen and stage, and a limited double-vinyl release pairing EP #1 and EP #2, the Dublin trio cement their status as one of the most fearless underground acts in the UK and Ireland.
Michelle Kash - ‘Gravity’ Michelle Kash follows her Billboard No.4 success with ‘Gravity’, a hypnotic dark-pop single shaped by cinematic synths and smoky, soulful vocals, capturing the emotional collision of two intense situationships. Inspired by Lou Reed’s poetry and born from a period of personal uncertainty, the track marks a compelling evolution for the LA-based artist who first found her voice through unexpected moments of spiritual stillness.
SilverKing - ‘In My Eyes’ Colorado-based rock project SilverKing returns with ‘In My Eyes’, a guitar-driven single that blends melancholy and hope, pairing classic-rock grit with a modern, uplifting edge. Written during a difficult chapter in 2013 and refined over twelve years, the track marks a personal turning point for Knate as he finally unveils the song in its fully realised form.
Liron Meyuhas - ‘8AM Morning Balafone’ Liron Meyuhas releases ‘8AM Morning Balafone’, a meditative, percussion-rich piece from her live concept album ‘Sunrise to Sunset’, created through improvised performances that mirror the shifting energies of the day. Blending singing bowls, congas, udu, balafon and more, the track reflects Meyuhas’s two-decade journey as a pioneering world-percussion artist and Israel’s first female Hang drum performer.
