SUMO’s third album, III, is a sonic odyssey that cements the Miami trio’s place in the heavy instrumental space rock scene. Clocking in at nine tracks, this album blends post-rock, sludge, and psychedelic textures, delivering both tranquil beauty and crushing intensity. Recorded at Sound Artillery Studio with Jonathan Nuñez (Torche), III is a seamless journey through cosmic chaos and serene soundscapes.

Falling for Robots and Wishing I Was One by LØLØ is an engaging debut that captures the essence of modern pop-punk with a dash of vulnerability.

The Legend of ABM – Angry Blackmen
The Legend of ABM by Angry Blackmen is an audacious and visceral plunge into the psyche of black masculinity, capitalism, and the dystopian shadows of contemporary America. Quentin Branch and Brian Warren, the duo behind Angry Blackmen, have crafted an album that is both a sonic assault and an introspective journey, making it one of the most compelling entries in the industrial hip-hop genre for the year.
The Cut-Up Technique
Imagine a poem created by randomly rearranging lines from a newspaper article. This is the essence of the cut-up technique, a method that has challenged conventional writing for decades. Originating with the Dadaists in the 1920s, who sought to reject logic and reason in the wake of World War I, the technique embodies their embrace of chance and absurdity. William S. Burroughs, along with artist Brion Gysin, further developed the technique, believing it could reveal hidden connections and premonitions within language. They would cut up texts, rearrange the fragments, and then read the resulting new text, looking for unexpected meanings.
