Jeremy Engel’s approach is rooted in live performance. Having played the song on stages such as The Bitter End (NYC), The Troubadour (London), and Hard Rock Cafe (Milano) and in 7 different countries in 2025, the goal was to translate that same energy into the recording, without overproducing or correcting what already works in front of an audience.

“The Return” announces Shesgot’s new album, A House Into a Body, out February 20, 2026, on Geneva-based Urgence Disk and Loop Collective. The Return arises from the bones of Afro-Cuban music mixed with contemporary Gilla Band – style sounds, a rhythmic dialogue that finds breathing space once all the instruments settle in, then gains final momentum on a Bark Psychosis/Seefeel-esque journeys.

Throughout the record, the production remains lean, favoring raw textures over polished artifice. It is a testament to Vega’s singular vision that these songs feel both ancient and avant-garde, rooted in the foundational myths of rock and roll while simultaneously tearing them apart.

The record operates as a sonic study of the nearness of things; the breath between two people, the uncomfortable closeness of one’s own anxieties, and the tangible texture of a live band playing in a room where the air feels heavy with intent.

The rhythmic patterns throughout the EP suggest a sophisticated dialogue with the original New York No-Wave scene, yet they opt for a controlled geometry rather than the total tonal collapse of their predecessors. Where No-Wave used rhythm as a weapon of nihilistic chaos, Clone utilizes it as a structural grid.

Across the world, we see individuals and entire nations showing courage, resilience, and resistance in the face of pressure. That spirit became the emotional core of this track.

As a whole, ‘Guppy’ is an emotionally intelligent record that thrives on subtlety and intention. Sweet Tooth understand that impact doesn’t require excess; instead, they focus on careful songwriting, expressive performances, and a clear emotional through-line.

For listeners who crave music that feels vivid, unfiltered, and emotionally unrestrained, this release is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a cathartic rush, a reminder of how powerful sound can be when it hits you not just in the ears, but beneath the skin.

Lyrically, “Angel” reframes the idea of salvation not as a singular divine presence, but as the everyday acts of care we receive from others: a message, a conversation, a shared moment of understanding.

It’s a confident, emotionally grounded release that proves The R.E.S.E.A.R.C.H. know how to craft pop-forward alt rock with both heart and bite, and it contains the promise of a lot of future potential for this trio.

It’s an almost unthinkable gamble to turn Hole into trip hop, but it pays off magnificently.

This is music shaped by time, meditation, and sustained focus, and for listeners seeking a contemplative yet richly detailed sonic journey, UNFOLDING offers a rare and rewarding experience.
