Review: 2022 saw the unlikely return of late 90s New York screamo/"skramz" pioneers Saetia, who have seen a massive surge in popularity in the decades since their initial disbandment, due to being credited as a major influence by numerous affluent modern post-hardcore acts such as La Dispute and Touche Amore. Noted for their expansion of the chaotic "emoviolence" sound by imbuing their cataclysmic compositions with heightened melodrama, spoken-word vocals and poetic lyricism pulling from Greek tragedies, both their self-titled EP and sole full-length have been held aloft as quintessential blueprints for the genre in the decades since their original tenure. Following a hectic reunion schedule which has finally brought the group to new foreign shores across the UK and Europe, the three tracks that make up the Tendrils EP serve as their first new material in 26 years, marking the follow up to 1999's Eronel EP.

Review: Originally released in 2009, this release is the one that put American singer, songwriter and chillwave producer Ernest Weatherly Greene Jr aka Washed on the map with his style of retro 80s inspired music which soon would become one of the leaders of chillwave. The buzz was helped by the international success of 'Feel It All Around', its warm sunset driven sound becaming the poster child for the genre's aesthetic.Now reissued by the artists themselves for 2025, this EP serves as one of the finest examples of the many variations to 80s sounding music.
