REZN

Over the last decade, Chicago quartet REZN have carved out a unique place in the landscape of heavy music, chiseling away at the crude formations of the topography, mining the most concentrated metallic ore from the dirt, and shaping it all into something monumental, imposing, and divine. While REZN has always fused seismic riffs with effortless beauty and grandeur, their shifting strategies for wielding that polarity have involved varied compositional and stylistic decisions, most notably the light-and-dark contrast of companion albums Solace (2023) and Burden (2024). But with their newest full-length offering, Cycles in the Infinite Dream, REZN masterfully harness the oppressive weight of their full sonic armory to celestial melodies and sublime synesthesia-inducing atmospherics in a manner so seamless it feels otherworldly, as if occupying a liminal space between two realities.

While REZN traffic in the unbridled realms of metal and untethered reaches of psychedelia, their latest release showcases a band working with discipline and intention, even when those intentions are rendered to be purposefully cryptic. As the album title implies, Cycles in the Infinite Dream explores the nexus of our waking and nocturnal worlds. “We moved towards the dream and subconscious state as a lyrical concept and melodic theme,” the band explains. “The pseudo-waking state is a reflection of a second existence—something that you can flee to or be imprisoned by.” Much like the subconscious-guided work of David Lynch, Cycles in the Infinite Dream exists as parallax between the artist and the audience, creating an obscured and distorted space that is both familiar and alien, like a corridor into our past where we recognize our surroundings but somehow still feel lost within its warped geometry.

REZN have long operated—and thrived—in the subterranean realm of music heads who crave the aural equivalent of altered states. And with Cycles in the Infinite Dream, they have created their most psychotropic work to date.

Edgehill

Edgehill appreciate the cracks, the nicks, the bumps, and the bruises.

The Nashville, TN trio—Chris Kelly [lead vocals, guitar], Jake Zimmermann [lead guitar, vocals], and Aidan Cunningham [drums]—never sand down or smooth out the edges of their songs. Instead, they find truth in the fissure between fuzzed-out distortion and disarmingly infectious melodies, bringing old-fashioned grit back to alternative. They deliver the kinds of hooks that ruled Alternative Nation during MTV’s golden age, yet could just as easily translate to a generation born and raised on social media. It’s the sound of growing up as amplified through grainy guitar riffs and the kinds of lyrics that give you permission to speak your mind and heart.

Generating millions of streams independently and stirring up buzz, the band instantly captivate on their 2025 full-length, Ode to the Greyhouse.

“We made an effort not to get too fancy or cover up the little mistakes,” observes Jake. “We let the album be the most honest and unfiltered reflection of who we are musically and emotionally.”

The band members grew up in markedly distinct areas of the country. Chris originally hailed from Charlottesville, VA, and Jake primarily grew up in Long Island, NY. Early iterations of the band formed before the guys welcomed Aidan—who called Westfield, IN home—into the fold. Even though their zip codes may have differed, the guys shared a bond by virtue of “living in Suburbia and using music as an outlet for expression.” Chris and Jake initially connected as students at Vanderbilt University, cementing a fast friendship. Jamming together, they unassumingly established a foundation for what would become Edgehill. While working a shift at a local coffee shop, Chris met Aidan, and the group’s lineup was locked in. During 2022, Edgehill made waves with “Shooting Glances,” reeling in over 2 million Spotify streams. Building a local buzz with countless gigs, “Lookaround” posted up 1.3 million Spotify streams followed by fan favorites like “Something (Practically)” and the Live At East Iris Studios EP.

For the better part of 2024, the musicians feverishly demoed ideas, chipping away and sculpting a signature sound of their own. Simultaneously, they expanded their collective sonic palette by listening to everyone from Pinegrove, Alex G, and MJ Lenderman to Weezer and Nirvana. In December, they decamped to Minneapolis, MN for twelve days and recorded at Pachyderm Studios—made famous as the birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero. On this hallowed ground, Edgehill recorded Ode to the Greyhouse with producer Tone Def, and he made an intentional effort to preserve the spirit of the songs.

“We zeroed in on the music’s textures to create this intangible rawness,” adds Chris. “A lot of it was inspired by nineties rock, which would have quieter vocals and roaring guitars.”

“Tone Deaf understood where we were going,” says Jake. “He knew it couldn’t be professional and polished. He was the perfect person to capture what we do and bring the best out of us. We wanted the album to sound lived-in, because that’s how we’d made the music.”

This sentiment underscores the opener and single “Drone Song.” Echoing through a haze, loose guitar envelopes a steady rhythm as Chris’s voice booms through the haze, “I’m not a hero, but I’ve got a drone.” Strains of distortion bleed into broken piano during the refrain, “It’s a joke, but I don’t need a punchline. Don’t think about it. I’ll be fine.”

“It’s a reflection of having a long day when your brain just turns to mush,” Chris reveals. “It’s the result of being scatterbrained, not taking yourself too seriously, feeling like you’re failing at something, and letting whatever absurdity in your mind out onto a sheet of paper.”

Soft vocals barely break the echoes of acoustic strumming on “Double Take.” As if turning on a dime, the verses get caught up in the undertow of a rush of feedback. The chorus stomps, “It’s okay. I got it. I’m breaking out the coffin.”

“It’s mournful and reflective,” says Jake. “You’re looking back on a relationship and wondering how much of it was your fault versus the other person’s fault. What could you have done better? It reaches a point where you can say, ‘Fuck it. I’m going to get through this, learn from it, and move forward’.”

“We were stuck at the moment,” recalls Aidan. “When Chris began writing and Jake helped with the lyrics, we started jamming as a band. We found the perfect way to elevate the chorus; it was almost like living the song in the moment.”

The upbeat “Love To Go” rushes forward on a punky groove punctuated by a head-nodding bassline and palm-muted crunch. “It’s an outlier, since it’s a bit older,” reveals Jake. “We’ve played it at almost every show since we became band. It felt like the right time to record it properly and release it.”

Then, there’s “I Can Be Your Dog.” They master the classic “loud-soft” dynamic with a chantable Parental Advisory sticker-worthy chorus, “Fuck you…if you want me to, I can be your dog.”

“We were going to cowriting sessions for the first time and told to write ‘a pop song’,” sighs Jake. “We wrote ‘I Can Be Your Dog’ as a sarcastic pop song. We’ll lay down and roll over, but we’ll be spiteful about it.”

Fittingly, the band settled on the title Ode to the Greyhouse in homage to the house in Nashville where Jake and Chris live and most of the album gestated.

“It addresses our band and friends,” Chris states. “It’s a memoir of what we had been doing for the past year. We realized it fit with the method of how we actually created music. We were in this house and using the sounds of the house. Everything came from there. It’s our tribute to the house.”

In the end, the album is Edgehill at their most raw and real.

“We want our music to give you an emotional release,” Aidan leaves off. “We hope you relate to what we’re doing.”

“If you listen to this, maybe you’ll feel heard and understood,” Chris concludes. “We try to break the fourth wall by being so open that it empowers people to be open as well.”

Hovvdy

Hovvdy’s Will Taylor and Charlie Martin have occupied a distinct corner of the modern-day indie landscape for more than a decade. Having evolved from their understated slowcore beginnings in Austin, Texas, they’re now seasoned veterans of the scene. Across their first five studio albums, the duo established their trademark sound of twangy indie rock, 2000s-inspired pop-country, and emotional acoustic ballads with strong pop sensibilities. Their last two records saw them processing life’s most intense emotions more openly than ever before, from declarations of love in its many forms on 2021’s True Love, to grappling with loss and personal change on their latest self-titled album, Hovvdy. But the songs of Big World have them trading in overt emotional directness for subject matter that leans enigmatic, contemplating their place in the world through a mosaic of songs that sees the band at their most secure and self-aware.
