Indie
Vylet Pony – Tyr | Hybrid Orchestral
This sweeping, progressive track from Vylet Pony’s latest album Homeward takes the listener on an incredible journey. Beginning with some uplifting journey music, and transitioning into a powerful, orchestral anthem before ending with some gentle music box vibes, the track shows the listener a glimpse of the beautiful, magical, musical world Vylet has created.
Vylet Pony – The Armada (feat. FlightRush & Roymond) | Orchestral / Dubstep
Continuing their releases from the stellar Homeward album This track opens with a tense, icy arpeggio and orchestrated leitmotif. Before transitioning into a much grittier and intense rush of energy and intricate bass and piercing leads to announce the attack of Spectre’s fleet. The breakdown is amazing as well with a chilling and heavy piano melody and a very dense and airy atmosphere that gives off a brave and hopeful mood and overall is a very stellar piece from the album and if you haven’t already, I highly recommend listening to the album in its entirety (the songs are designed to transition together seamlessly which is amazing) and to give the story a read while doing so as it really helps build the world each song is conveying.
Forest Rain – Brony Pride | Rock Ballad
Echoing the brony family feelings from the iconic Proud to be a Brony, Forest Rain had the most wonderful idea ever with this heart-warming song part of the Discovery album. Indeed, it calls to our feelings for both the ponies and the community, and makes us gather while listening to the gorgeous vocals and tender instrumentation, and lingering in shared love. Once again, let us say that we are proud to be bronies, and that this is not just a fandom, but a family!
Forest Rain – Bad Wolf: 2019 | Alternative Rock / Orchestral
From the all-new Discovery album (album announcement here), Bad Wolf: 2019 is a remake of the original 2013 track by Forest Rain, and you can tell it has been crafted with love! Displaying much creativity with electronic, rock and orchestral elements alike, it makes for a perfect musical accompaniment to celebrate the new album as well as Forest’s upcoming performance at Everfree Northwest on the 17th of May! Physical copies of the album will also be available there!
Vylet Pony – The Magic of Friendship | Indie Pop
Kicking off the countdown to Vylet’s new upcoming album Love Letters: Colourless, The Magic of Friendship foretells a tender love story and sweet pony feelings, conveyed by soft vocals and delicate instrumentals! It definitely sounds that way and the story that we can read so far is mysterious and exciting! Let’s see where this takes us, along the musician’s craftsponyship!
Vylet Pony – Asphyxiated | Progressive Electronic
Reaching for even more mustical styles and creative endeavors at the same time as the characters from her story are reaching for the stars, Vylet’s track Asphyxiated from the concept album Homeward exhibits impressive vocals as well as a melodic and progressive electronic instrumental that feels so nostalgic to the enthusiast’s ear. A shining beauty, and another part of the story in musical form!
SDreamExplorerS – Ephemeral II: Parallels | Album | Prog Rock / Prog Metal
SDreamExplorerS’ newest album is here, and boy does it deliver! Always sparked from deep experiences and pony inspirations, and calling the listener to reflect, this one takes us on quite the unique journey as it features such a wide array of genres! And you can tell how much love has been poured into each of the tracks, ranging from Progressive Metal to Ambient to Samba to Jazz and even to crazy bass play! (Perhaps there needs to be a new genre to fit to Soul’s unique musical endeavors in these!) An impressive compilation of reflections and meticulously crafted masterpieces that is just a must-have! Grab your copy from a Bandcamp near you!
Crusader! – Long Live the King | Pop / Alternate Electronic
Crusader’s newly released Super Duper Dance Party EP includes this poppy song about King Sombra, and it actually works very well! Continuing on that distinct musical style brought forward by the whole EP, the musician did wonders with those blissful vocals and cool lyrics, and this song is certainly very fitting in light of recent events in the show! Also check out the last track from the EP, Another Day!
