Pop/Review Hidden Shores - Mighty Oak
Hidden Shores drifts in from Belgium like a secret tide—the alter ego of an elementary school teacher who lets the classroom fade into silence before turning to the glow of machines. By day, it’s chalkboards and laughter; by night, it’s algorithms and soundscapes, a second life carried on digital waves. The project is built on respect: a deep reverence for the musicians who shaped the world and a fascination with what happens when artificial intelligence dares to join the chorus.

Rock/Review Mortal Prophets - Hide Inside The Moon
John Beckmann’s project The Mortal Prophets exists where avant-garde composition, roots Americana, and shadowy electronic atmospheres intersect. Based in New York, Beckmann approaches the project less as a conventional “band” than as a mutable platform—a revolving door of collaborators, producers, and vocalists assembled around his songwriting, conceptual frames, and production vision. Across a prolific run of albums and EPs, The Mortal Prophets have explored everything from twisted blues cartographies and kosmische drift to psychedelic dream-pop and noir-pop balladry, while maintaining a through-line of lyrical intensity and iconoclastic restlessness.
