Monster Rally and TV Girl featuring X-Cetra - "Incredibly Blind"

By -


For his latest single, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist Monster Rally teams with TV Girl. "Incredibly Blind" also featured X-Cetra, and the result is this wonderfully chill electronic song that lands somewhere between the big, booming main room at a rave and the chill out room. It's definitely perfect for dancing, but in a more relaxed way. It's like a more energetic and fun version of trip hop, and has the sound of being a mash-up without being one. "Incredibly Blind" has one of the most relaxed/fun vibes of anything we've ever brought you, and we can't wait to hear more from Monster Rally sooner than later.

Monster Rally says of his latest single:

“This is one of my favorite tracks from the new record and I’m really excited to share it with the world. About a year ago I had sent a rough demo of this track to Brad (Petering) with just some drums, bass and mellotron flute loops. He came back with this idea of having X-Cetera on the track for the vocals. I had read a bit about their backstory and was definitely on board.”

You can listen to "Incredibly Blind" below. Echoes of the Emerald Sound is due out Spring 2026 on SoundOn/Flowering Jungle, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Monster Rally, check out the artist's website. Upcoming live dates are below the song.

Minibeast - "High Sea"

Somehow Peter Prescott of Mission of Burma and Volcano Suns has another band that I never knew about. Minibeast already released an album that I completely missed back in 2012, and they are currently at work on the follow up, Free Will. Based on a track from the upcoming album, "High Sea," Minibeast shares some common sonic ground with Mission of Burma, but with an added emphasis on the groovy side of things. It's basically the noise and dissonance of Burma but heard through a 60s surf groove, as if Frankie and Annette were punks. You can listen to "High Sea" below. Minibeast currently have a Kickstarter to help fund the final production of Free Will. You can get more information on that here . It should be out sometime in June.

Midnight Peg - "Thirstland"

Photo by Cecil Sykes Midnight Peg are an Edmonton, AB based band that are referred to as "madhouse punk." Their latest single, "Thirstland," is a just barely under control two minute burst of punk. You have guitar riffs that will make you think of At the Drive In, and somewhat spoken and yelled vocals which create a feeling of chaos throughout. This is a loud and angry track that is completely in your face. But, unlike most tracks this loud and punk based, "Thirstland" still keeps a sense of art in their music. Midnight Peg feel like a higher class of loud, angry punk rock. This one is great, with just enough of an emo undercurrent to make the song kind of melodic and almost palatable to a mainstream audience. You can listen to "Thirstland" below. Skinning is due out in October on Thousand Island Records. For more on Midnight Peg, check out the artist's website .

Photo by Ryan Mastro The latest single from Brooke Annibale is modern day folk/pop/indie rock done to perfection. "Home Again" stops just shy of being laid back, and is a dreamy tale of falling in love. Annibale's voice blends effortlessly into the music, giving a listener a joyful sense of the hypnotic. It's filled with hope, and optimism, and is clearly about the beginning of the relationship. The good news is that Annibale and the song's inspiration are engaged. The bad news is, they were supposed to be married on June 26, 2020.  Brooke Annibale explains the song :  “I wrote this song at the beginning of a relationship: a song about falling in love, figuring out how to communicate our love for one another, and ultimately build a life and home together. Over a year after I wrote it, I proposed to my girlfriend (she said yes), and we set our wedding date for June 26, 2020. For the past several months, I have looked forward to this day, a special day of ce...
