Under a Familiar Sun is the new album from The Vernon Spring, the solo project of British composer and producer Sam Beste. Over twelve elegant, empathetic songs, Beste wades into parallel yet opposing dimensions of family devotion and global responsibility in an age of moral uncertainty. Beste's stunning compositions illuminate a graceful and deliberate approach to piano, accented by brave vocal collaborations, spoken word, and a holistic fusion of electronic and acoustic instrumentation. Under a Familiar Sun represents an evolutionary leap for The Vernon Spring, rippling into an ethereal unknown. Growing up in North London, Beste was shaped by early exposure to soul, jazz, and avant-garde music via his father's eclectic record collection. These influences sparked a path of sonic exploration, and a transformative piano lesson at age eleven set Beste in a pivotal direction, instilling a passion for improvisation that shaped his musical trajectory. By his mid-teens, Beste's dedication and talent placed him in Amy Winehouse's orbit, whom he accompanied as her live pianist for the majority of her ascendent career. While writing and releasing music with the boundary pushing alt-soul outfit Hejira through his twenties, Beste helped form the Lima Limo collective and tag, which offered a supportive community and inspiring creative foundation. By 2019, he began making solo music as The Vernon Spring, developing a distinctive voice that coalesced his jazz background with contemporary electronic production, and self-releasing his debut album A Plane Over Woods in 2021 and a follow up EP Earth, On A Good Day in 2022, both organically finding a devoted audience. Under a Familiar Sun offers both a distillation and amplification of The Vernon Spring's artistic vision. At it's core, the album is dedicated to Beste's partner and three sons, but the tracks stretch beyond familial threa

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression.
