"Open Up Your Heart" 

- The Line of Best Fit's New Music Discovery

“A gentle yet emotionally charged track about the temptation to return to familiar habits, even when they no longer serve us...With Daredevil, Crimson99 is opening the door to what promises to be an instinctive and deeply personal artistic journey.” 

- VERGE Magazine UK

“‘Open Up Your Heart’ is rich indie rock with touches of folk that touches on hope..Crimson99’s unique voice reels the listener in, hitting the bullseye with emotion and conviction.” 

- ColoRisng

“The song showcases her vocals, which while being soulful and smooth, also have the slightest bit of grit that helps suck you in and elevates the song to the next level."

WHY? • Pretend So Real • 2026

 

By Wolf’s estimation, WHY?’s catalogue almost works in pairs. After the lush, band-driven The Well I Fell Into, he returned to a solo practice, seeking clarity in the unvarnished, close-to-the-bone arrangements of Oh Golly / Yes Lord. It mirrored the album’s themes, a process and sound as intimate as the album’s themes: Wolf alone, trying to figure himself out with little to hide behind and few people to lean on. “This isme being me in real time,” he says. Eventually, Wolf welcomed a few carefully chosen contributors, including his brother and longtime WHY? consigliere Josiah and producer Andrew Broder (Fog, Lambchop),who each co-write a track for the Oh Gollyside, as well as Ryan Olson (Poliça, Bon Iver), who consulted on some production. And after years of mutual admiration, Wolf ended up hanging in the studio with Nate Mercereau (André 3000, The Weeknd). Trading ideas and sharing recent work blossomed into an unexpected and extensive collaboration unprecedented in WHY?’s history. As Wolf aimed to locate the minimal sound he heard in his head, Mercereau worked on nearly all of the Oh Golly half, adding guitar arrangements, synths, and more that helped shape the final aesthetic of the album.

Edwin Raphael • Moonstruck (feat. Diya Britto) • 2026

“There's a particular way light particles interact that Montreal-based folk singer-songwriter Edwin Raphael captures in his thoughtfully expansive, globe-trotting soundscapes. "Mosaic in the Sun" and "A Sunbeam Lent to Us Briefly," arrive with the breathless wonder of language's inability to articulate the emotional heft of a momentary prism falling upon the scene just so.”
- Exclaim!, Most Anticipated Albums of 2026

“...it’s indie folk with enough orchestral weight to fill a room. These are songs built for distance and open windows.” - Montreal Rocks

“Buzzing drones meet uplifting guitar melodies as Edwin Raphael’s imaginative narrative unravels on First Time on Earth. The ebbs and flows from bursts of energy to pulled-back introspective moments. Life brings with it more questions than answers, but it’s seeking beauty in the mundane, in the wonder of small miracles, that we find meaning."

Delivery • Measuring Cup • 2026

“Measuring Cup,” the buzzing post-punk cut they’ve released in tandem with the news, builds around vocalist Rebecca Allan’s sardonic delivery and sharp guitar stabs. “There is a certain kind of pressure in modern society to be vigilant about who someone is,” the band shared about the new tune, “what they stand for and if they are ‘your people.’ But it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a challenge to engage positively with people who hold different values or stances, and a celebration when you know you’ve found someone who aligns with you, whether that’s politically, socially, or personally. ‘Measuring Cup’ is like an invitation to get on a level together and join the club.” FLOOD
