Weekly Discover 56 isn’t here to fade into the background—it asks you to stop, tune in, and feel every layer.

This week, we drift into deeper waters. “Uncharted Currents” is more than just a playlist—it’s a pulse of creative rebellion. Each track arrives like a message in a bottle: personal, unpredictable, and absolutely uncompromising. The artists featured aren’t playing it safe—they’re chasing sounds that speak louder than trends and cut sharper than routine.

What sets this chapter apart is the honesty. It’s the crack in the voice, the messy synth line, the choice not to polish every edge. There’s freedom in that rawness—a kind of beautiful imperfection that turns every track into a moment worth holding onto.

You won’t find throwbacks here, and we didn’t curate for clicks. This is now—urgent, vivid, and alive.

As always, 1111CR3W curates with purpose, reminding us that discovery isn’t passive. It’s active. It’s emotional. And above all, it keeps moving.

Version XXVII: Burnout, Rewired

Every generation has its breaking point. For Kaylee Kean and Robert Purner—two artists who reconnected after 15 years apart—theirs wasn’t a single moment, but a slow, aching accumulation. Of politics unraveling. Of mental health fraying. Of systems meant to help instead standing in the way. And so Tired! was born—not just a debut single, but a visceral exhale after years of holding it all in. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just resonate—it echoes inside you, long after the final chorus fades.

Version XXVII is more than a band name. It’s a nod to the uncanny fact that both Kaylee and Robert were born on January 27, a year apart. They call this their “27th lifetime together,” but in many ways, this is the first one where their music finally meets the world. The duo, based in Royal Oak, Michigan, is self-made in every sense—writing, recording, and mixing their work from a Harry Potter-style vocal booth beneath the stairs in their first shared apartment. There, among fairy lights and handwritten mantras, they began crafting anthems for the emotionally overloaded.

Tired! punches with the weight of shared disillusionment. It’s not just a song about exhaustion; it’s a chronicle of trying to stay human in a world that often feels engineered for the opposite. Sonically, it bends and breaks genres with the same unapologetic energy that fuels Grandson, Bring Me the Horizon, and I Prevail—artists Kaylee and Robert deeply admire. The outro, a slow build into a raw vocal unraveling, isn’t just a technical feat—it’s a cathartic release, captured mostly in a single take. Kaylee had to write “Don’t think, feel” on the booth wall to let go enough for it to happen.

Their chemistry is palpable—not only musically, but narratively. Middle school first loves turned full-circle collaborators, their reunion feels fated. They’re not hiding behind production gloss or industry polish; they’re leaning into the grit. The instrumentation shifts from crushing EDM-metal surges to melancholic violin lines, matching the emotional waves they ride in real-time. It’s the sound of two people refusing to stay silent—even if they’re still figuring it out as they go.

There’s a certain audacity in leading your first release with vulnerability rather than perfection. Tired! doesn’t offer solutions. It doesn’t pretend to. What it does is sit in the discomfort—and invite others to do the same. It’s a shared scream across a crowded room of burnt-out dreamers, a message to anyone who’s ever felt like the system isn’t built for them: you're not alone. And no, you’re not crazy for being this tired.

That truth has struck a nerve. Early listeners have praised the track’s honesty, energy, and genre-defying pull. Some find solace in Kaylee’s soaring vocals; others connect with Robert’s raw screams and precise production. Either way, people are hearing their own fatigue in Version XXVII’s sonic mirror—and that connection is everything. As the duo gears up to finish their full album Catharsis (due October 27), Tired! stands as the spark that lit the fuse.

Sometimes music isn’t about escape. Sometimes it’s about confrontation, about sitting in the muck with someone who sees the mess and still chooses to create. Version XXVII does just that. They don’t have all the answers. But they have truth, talent, and each other. And in this lifetime—or maybe their 27th—that’s enough to start a fire.

"Farrah’s ‘Homeland’: Love, Loss, and the Politics We Never Chose"

In a world increasingly blurred by digital intimacy and global unrest, Farrah finds herself at the fragile intersection of identity, love, and exile. With her latest single “Homeland,” the British-Iranian singer/songwriter doesn’t just return—she reveals. The track is more than music; it’s a reckoning. Soft-spoken yet soul-piercing, it confronts a universal ache: what happens when love is no match for the world around it? For Farrah, whose art has always carried the weight of truth, “Homeland” is a meditation on relationships quietly undone by politics, borders, and unchosen loyalties.

Born of both diaspora and defiance, Farrah’s artistry has never shied away from emotional confrontation. But “Homeland” is something different—it’s stripped, not just sonically, but spiritually. Set against a sparse, trembling arrangement, her voice doesn’t merely sing; it pleads. “Why can't you just stay? Do it our own way.” The words land like a whisper and a wound. They aren't just for a partner lost; they’re for anyone who has ever watched something pure be diluted by the world’s noise.

Farrah’s personal journey is layered—raised between cultures, she carries the tenderness of longing and the sharpness of displacement in every note. “Homeland” is not just about one love story—it’s about many. “I wrote this for anyone who has faced the agony of losing a partner due to the state of the world,” she says. The song reflects how geopolitics can seep silently into our private lives, particularly for those from regions like the Middle East. Even in the diaspora, invisible strings pull lovers apart, reshaping intimacy with the cold hands of inherited history.

To visualize the heartbreak, Farrah turned to Iranian photographer Taraneh Tajdini. The single’s artwork—a split pomegranate bleeding into its background—serves as both metaphor and memory. It's a fruit rich with symbolism: fertility, love, death, and homeland. The image doesn’t just accompany the music; it extends it. The collaboration is also a quiet rebellion—a celebration of Iranian creatives who are often seen but not heard, whose brilliance blooms in spite of censorship and exile.

There’s a quiet power in how Farrah weaves her roots into her sound without ever leaning on cliché. Her commitment to nuance and truth keeps her work emotionally intelligent and viscerally human. “Homeland” isn’t about waving a flag; it’s about what gets lost in the spaces between them. It’s music that doesn't resolve—it lingers, it haunts, it asks questions long after the final note.

In an industry that often rewards volume over vulnerability, Farrah remains committed to intimacy. Her growing online community—particularly among Middle Eastern listeners—mirrors the kind of healing her songs offer: soft, inclusive, and unafraid to name pain. There’s something radical in her gentleness, a quiet storm that refuses to look away from the messiness of real life and real love.

With “Homeland,” Farrah continues her quiet hero’s journey—not toward answers, but toward deeper understanding. She doesn't pretend to have solutions for the politics that fracture hearts or the history that divides lovers. But in her voice, there’s refuge. And for many listeners, that might just be enough.

GrooveGalore MuziK: Where Rock Legends Meet Reggae Soul

It started with a beat—a heartbeat, really—that pulsed from deep within the Caribbean soul of Paul KasticK. GrooveGalore MuziK, his brainchild, isn't just a name—it’s a rhythm, a vibe, and now, a bridge between two seemingly distant musical worlds. With the release of Here I Go Again featuring KasticK and Beniton, GrooveGalore reimagines Whitesnake’s 1987 anthem through a lush Rock-Reggae lens, proving that great songs can live a thousand lives when guided by the right hands.

For KasticK, this journey wasn’t a spontaneous pivot—it was a culmination. Years behind the kit with artists like Maxi Priest, Big Mountain, and Diana King gave him the technical fluency; his Jamaican roots gave him the groove. But it’s his vision—shared with longtime collaborator Valentino Music—that turned this project into more than just a genre experiment. My Reggae Rockin’ Journey Vol 1 is an audacious tribute to the rock greats of the past, filtered through the warmth, syncopation, and storytelling spirit of reggae.

“Here I Go Again” hits like a familiar memory viewed through sun-soaked glass. The grit of rock remains intact, with Rudy Valentino Jr.’s guitars providing that undeniable drive, while KasticK’s rhythmic foundation and Beniton’s vocal stylings bring in the laid-back swagger of the Caribbean. It’s not imitation—it’s conversation. The song speaks to a universal desire to start anew, but now with a skank in the step and a bassline that hugs the soul.

The album isn’t a one-off nostalgia play—it’s a full-circle artistic statement. The previously released Steely Dan cover Night By Night, and Giant’s I’ll See U in My Dreams, were not only well received but also hinted at the sonic blueprint GrooveGalore has been quietly refining since 2020. The work is meticulous—co-produced with talents like Josh Gold and Valentino Music—and the results are timeless tracks reimagined for modern ears. Each cut honors the spirit of the original, while offering something bold, unexpected, and joyously alive.

Beneath the studio polish, though, lies something raw: legacy. GrooveGalore MuziK is tethered to decades of personal triumph and musical milestones. From helping launch Tessanne Chin’s career to backing legends across continents, KasticK’s fingerprints are everywhere. Yet this project feels particularly personal—as if he’s stitching together every piece of his story into one powerful sonic tapestry.

For the listener, this album isn’t just an indulgent crossover—it’s an invitation. To rediscover classics, yes, but also to understand how music evolves when it’s filtered through different cultures, perspectives, and lived experiences. It’s about fusion, not for fusion’s sake, but for storytelling’s. My Reggae Rockin’ Journey Vol 1 feels less like a remix and more like a revival, led by a masterful guide who’s lived every beat.

So here they go again—not to repeat the past, but to reshape it. GrooveGalore MuziK has crafted something rare: a heartfelt homage that’s also an evolution. It doesn’t ask rock fans to become reggae fans, or vice versa. It simply invites them to listen—deeply—and feel the magic when borders melt and music speaks freely.

Golem Dance Cult — Summoning the Spirit: “Call of the Wendigo” and the Shamanic Faultlines of Sound

In the twilight hours of Friday the 13th of June 2025, Golem Dance Cult will once again emerge from the shadows—this time not to haunt, but to summon. Their new album Shamanic Faultlines is less a collection of songs and more a spiritual excavation—a seance of sound that speaks to the fractured psyche of modern life. For the Franco-Australian duo, this release isn’t just a follow-up to 2023’s Legend of the Bleeding Heart—it’s a descent into the sacred and the profane, guided by the flickering light of the unknown.

Since their first transmission, the 2021 EP Grotesque Radio, Golem Dance Cult has channeled a cinematic blend of dark glam, gritty post-punk, and spiritual unrest. With Shamanic Faultlines, they lean into their obsessions with more fervor—eschewing polish for ritual, replacing clarity with catharsis. The guitars snarl and shimmer, grooving with basslines that are less supportive and more incantational. Guest guitarists like Dick Dens (The Irradiates), Haydn Walker, and Michael Gonthier amplify the chaos and texture, pushing the sonic palette further into ecstatic dissonance.

Each track on Shamanic Faultlines feels like an encounter. From the thumping pulse of “Caveat Emptor” to the spectral dread of “God Is Holding His Breath,” the songs are carved from conflict—between grit and glamour, light and abyss. "Ned Kelly’s Arms" pulses with outlaw mythos, driven by organic drums from Peter Micallef, while “Soul Searcher” dives into noir-like introspection. Inga Liljestrom’s ethereal vocals on “Pretty at Dawn” and the title track bring a much-needed contrast—a glimmer of dawn in the cult’s candle-lit underworld.

But this isn’t just an album—it’s a collective hallucination. Theremins moan. Cellos weep. Synths from Locki Lockwood and Moogs from Boris Boubil twist the air into something both ancient and unfamiliar. The production, helmed by Charles Why with Klaus Karloff at Black Obsidian Woodshed studio, and mastered in Melbourne by Joe Carra (King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Amyl & the Sniffers), retains a lived-in rawness. It sounds like it was found rather than recorded, like dusted bones from a ritual site.

Behind the mystery, though, lies deep intention. Golem Dance Cult are not hiding behind noise—they’re using it to speak in tongues. The album’s title itself—Shamanic Faultlines—suggests tectonic shifts of the soul, the cracks through which spirit seeps in. The record's storytelling weaves spiritual inquiry with occult motifs, drawing lines between indigenous folklore, psychological fragmentation, and the eternal human desire to transcend.

For all its otherworldliness, this is music meant to move people—not just spiritually, but physically. Live, their sound takes on a shamanic energy, their audience less a crowd and more a congregation. Fans aren’t just listening—they’re participating in a ritual of release, shaking loose their inhibitions as the basslines rumble and the feedback howls.

Golem Dance Cult may dress in the trappings of darkness, but their music is ultimately about transformation. Shamanic Faultlines is not an end but a threshold—a place where music becomes magic, and where the broken parts of us are not hidden, but exalted. As the wendigo calls and the static rises, you’re invited to cross the line. Just don’t expect to come back unchanged.

Anjalts Illuminates the Quiet After the Storm in “Dim the Lights”

Not all heartbreaks end in door slams or ghosted silence. Sometimes, they unfold into something softer—something like a slow dance. With her latest single, “Dim the Lights,” released on July 4th, Anjalts invites us into that fragile space between fracture and forgiveness. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t beg for resolution but instead cradles the ambiguity of love in limbo, wrapped in acoustic warmth and ambient restraint. Here, conflict doesn’t explode—it dissolves into rhythm.

There’s a subtle bravery in writing about stillness, and Anjalts does it with aching grace. The song, anchored by minimal acoustic guitar and a deep, slow-moving bassline, strips away the noise we usually expect in pop ballads. Instead, it creates room for breath, for vulnerability—for a couple caught in emotional undertow to choose movement over muteness. Her vocals never strain. They float, whispering like an after-midnight conversation where hearts are still too full for sleep.

In the world of music that thrives on big drops and climactic crescendos, Anjalts opts for something quieter, yet more courageous: honesty. “Let’s just slow dance… it’s the one thing we got right,” she sings, not as a plea, but as an offering. That single line does the heavy lifting of the entire song—acknowledging tension, honoring the past, and suggesting intimacy as a bridge instead of an escape. The track doesn’t resolve the story. It just lets it breathe.

What’s striking is that this isn’t just another love song—it's an emotional shift. It captures that unspoken moment after an argument when no one wants to be the first to say sorry, but someone dares to hit play on that song and stretch out a hand. Anjalts has always leaned into the cinematic, but “Dim the Lights” trades grandeur for groundedness. It feels lived-in. Human. Less about spectacle, more about soul.

“Dim the Lights” also signals a turning point in Anjalts’ creative arc. While her debut Air to Fire wrestled with eco-anxiety and elemental power, and Bluency flirted with rebellious alt-pop energy, this upcoming third album promises a quieter rebellion—one of self-reflection and scaled-back intimacy. If previous projects painted with wild color, this one sketches in pencil and shadow, trusting the listener to lean in closer.

Written, performed, and produced entirely by Anjalts herself, the track speaks volumes about her evolving voice—not just vocally, but artistically. There’s no need for a middleman here. Every sound choice, from the ambient textures to the guitar’s emotional tuning, feels intentional. It’s clear she’s not just building songs; she’s building moments, inviting listeners to live inside them.

In an era saturated with breakup anthems and revenge pop, “Dim the Lights” dares to ask a quieter question: What if we chose grace instead of pride? Anjalts doesn’t offer an easy answer—but she does offer a hand, an atmosphere, and a slow-dance under the fireworks. Sometimes, that’s enough.

The Crystal Bullets Find Their Firepower in Vulnerability with “Heart of a Whore”

There’s a specific kind of silence that follows heartbreak—not the peaceful kind, but the one that rings in your ears like the aftermath of an explosion. For The Crystal Bullets, that silence became the canvas for their newest single, Heart of a Whore. Released on July 4th, 2025, the track isn’t just another entry in their discography—it’s a scar turned into sound, a raw confession etched into music. Years in the making, the lyrics had been lingering in the background, waiting for the right moment—and emotional space—to come alive.

The band’s journey with this song follows a path familiar to many artists, but rarely this exposed. Built during a time when emotions weren’t just loud—they were unavoidable—the track captures the kind of strength that doesn't shine, but smolders. “It’s not a love song,” the band clarifies. “It’s a song about what’s left after.” That honesty hits hard. It’s about the wreckage, the resolve, and that last breath of belief you hold onto when everything else is shattered.

In terms of storytelling, Heart of a Whore leans into the hero’s journey from an unexpected angle: the post-climax phase. The fall. The reckoning. But instead of fading into bitterness, The Crystal Bullets choose the more difficult road—resilience. They sing not from a pedestal, but from the floor. From that emotional trench where most of us have found ourselves at least once, clawing for something steady to hold onto. And they’ve given it a sound: gritty guitar lines, vocals that ache without asking for pity, and lyrics that don’t dress up the truth.

The line “I wanna have the heart of a whore” is less about shock than it is about self-preservation. In a world that often weaponizes softness, there’s something revolutionary about choosing hardness not as cruelty, but as a boundary. It’s a plea to feel less, not because you don’t care—but because you’ve cared too much, too often, and paid the price every time. That duality is what gives the song its magnetic tension: defiant yet broken, armored yet exposed.

Visually and sonically, The Crystal Bullets continue to cultivate their noir-meets-raw aesthetic. Shadows linger in their music videos, not just for style, but to mirror the inner landscape of their lyrics. It’s an environment where grief wears leather and trauma carries a guitar. They’re not interested in polish—they want impact. And that’s precisely what they deliver with this track.

Their audience, long drawn to the band’s honesty and unfiltered emotion, has responded with open arms—and open wounds. Social media is already buzzing with stories from fans who see themselves in the lyrics, who recognize their own scars in the song’s distorted chords. That connection—the kind that goes beyond streams and into shared survival—is the real success here. The Crystal Bullets aren’t just performing. They’re bearing witness.

With Heart of a Whore, The Crystal Bullets don’t ask to be understood. They ask to be felt. And in doing so, they carve out space for anyone who’s ever chosen strength over sentiment, who’s ever turned pain into armor. In the end, it’s not just a song—it’s a reckoning, and a reminder: you can survive with a shattered heart, as long as it keeps beating.

Breaking the Cycle: 7Sven’s “Routine” Challenges the Comfort of Conformity

In an era where conformity feels like currency and personal agendas often eclipse collective growth, 7Sven emerges as a sonic disruptor—a voice not just echoing through your headphones, but challenging the rhythm of your everyday life. With his latest release, Routine, the artist takes a defiant stance against the autopilot tendencies of modern society. It's not just music—it's a wake-up call wrapped in layered harmonies and emotionally-charged vocals, asking us, directly and unapologetically: Are you awake, or just going through the motions?

Following the breakthrough success of Are You Serious—a track that alone earned over 100k streams and sparked widespread resonance—7Sven continues to sharpen his artistic edge. The numbers are climbing fast: 250,000 total Spotify streams in just a few months. But for 7Sven, success isn’t a metric—it’s a means. A way to reach ears, and more importantly, minds. He isn’t chasing virality; he’s seeking change, one listener at a time.

Routine leans into discomfort with intention. The track balances rage with hope, using that emotional duality as a sonic engine. You hear it in the vocals—urgent but not desperate, confronting but never cruel. You feel it in the composition—rich in texture, with melodies that startle and soothe in equal measure. These aren’t background beats for a casual scroll. They demand presence. They provoke thought. And for those willing to sit with the tension, they offer reflection.

At the heart of 7Sven’s creative mission is a rejection of egotism and the curated self. His music doesn’t pretend to have the answers—but it refuses to ignore the questions. The world he paints is one in flux, fractured by self-interest and inertia. Routine calls out that drift. It speaks to the creeping numbness we accept as normal. And in doing so, it reminds us that routine can be just as dangerous as chaos when it dulls our sense of purpose.

Visually, 7Sven builds on this theme of disruption. Stark contrasts and symbolic imagery define his aesthetic—mirrors cracking, clocks melting, eyes wide open yet seemingly blind. These aren’t gimmicks. They’re metaphors. Everything about his brand asks the listener to look again, to examine the unseen and the unquestioned. It's a visual language that complements his sonic world—a place where apathy is the enemy and curiosity is king.

What makes 7Sven resonate, though, isn't just his boldness—it’s his relatability. He’s not preaching from a pedestal; he’s climbing out of the same trench as the rest of us. His songs don't just critique—they empathize. He’s angry, yes. But he’s also hopeful. Hopeful that maybe, just maybe, if we unplug for a moment and confront our own patterns, we can start to reimagine the world we move through.

With Routine released on July 4, 2025, 7Sven doesn’t just drop a track—he drops a challenge. Not to rebel for rebellion’s sake, but to live with more intention. In a time when streaming metrics often drown out substance, 7Sven is here to remind us: music can still mean something. And when it does, it doesn’t just play—it moves.

Astral Rocks Finds Her Voice in the Silence of Erased Fathers

Some songs aren’t written—they erupt. A Father’s Cry, the haunting new release from Swiss project Astral Rocks, doesn’t enter the world with gentle metaphor or industry polish. It arrives like a wound still bleeding, sung from the raw place where love, grief, and injustice collide. Behind the mic is Milli, the voice and pen of Astral Rocks, channeling her lived experience into a track that dares to say what others won’t: that fathers can be victims too—and their pain often goes unheard.

Recorded in the emotionally charged surroundings of Nikki Studio in Budapest, A Father’s Cry doesn’t hide behind perfection. Every note, every vocal crack was left untouched. This wasn’t about sounding good—it was about telling the truth. And that truth hits hard. The stripped-back arrangement, mixed and mastered by Brad Grobler (BIG Productions), lays bare the vocals, refusing distraction. The result is a sonic confessional where Ian Hadwick’s ghostly harmonies whisper support while Milli’s voice carries the weight of a million unsent birthday cards.

The emotional power of the song isn’t an accident—it’s intentional. Inspired by artists like Queen, Pink Floyd, and Chris Cornell, Milli doesn’t copy their style; she channels their courage. Like them, she leans into theatricality and vulnerability, letting the music swell into cinematic waves. But it’s her own story that makes it unforgettable. A Father’s Cry was born from personal trauma—separation from her child—and written from the point of view of the silent fathers she watched crumble under the weight of custody injustice.

What makes this song cut deeper than most is that it’s not a cry for sympathy. It’s a demand for recognition. When Milli sings, “How can I live when they bleed me dry?”, the line doesn’t just land—it lingers. It speaks not only to the emotional toll of erasure but the financial and psychological punishment of men who are still expected to give, even after they’ve been taken from. This kind of honesty doesn’t get played in the background. It silences a room.

And that’s exactly where Astral Rocks is headed: into rooms. With intimate live shows planned across Switzerland, Germany, and Hungary, Milli is bringing these stories to life—unfiltered and unplugged. It’s a natural evolution for an artist who has spent the last year in the studio, building a body of work that centers lived truth over commercial gloss. These performances won’t be showcases—they’ll be testimonies.

Beneath the song is a deeper mission. Astral Rocks isn’t chasing radio trends or streaming algorithms. This is music as resistance. Each release is a chapter in a larger story—one of resilience, injustice, healing, and the need to be seen. And A Father’s Cry is a defining entry: brave, beautiful, and broken in all the right ways. In a world that often forgets men’s pain, this song refuses to.

As Milli herself says, “Although my own relationship with my father was painful and complex, this song wasn’t written for him. It was written for the men I’ve seen suffer quietly—loving fathers who were pushed aside, unheard, and broken by systems and silence.” And in lending them her voice, she’s not just making music—she’s making space for the stories no one else wants to tell.
