Approaching old customs and traditions with an uncommon style seems to inspire lots of artists, and it is the same for Alukta, the 2023 formed duo from France and Belgium. Inspired by the Toraja people from Indonesia, especially by their elaborate funeral rituals, their debut album, Merok, is a way for the vocalist and instrumentalist Marie and the record master Déhà to mourn and explore the old tribal customs.

REVIEW: Prima Queen - The Prize

Prima Queen’s debut LP is nothing short of fantastic. With The Prize, the indie duo have proved they have the full package with incredible lyrics, instrumentation and production, that all serves to showcase the bands individuality, and is definitely not an album to be slept on!
