GAZINGMOON – ComeOut | Witch House
We all know Fluttershy as a kind and caring character, but does she have a darker side? One of our fandom’s newest musicians, GAZINGMOON, explores this idea in their track, “ComeOut.” It’s quiet, creepy, sinister, and features extremely crunched samples of Fluttershy screaming. The arpeggiating pads and extremely tight snare add to the eerie feel–this is not the kind of house you normally hear, so make sure to check out its unique soundscape (unless you’re too scared to)!

Saphire Systrine – a little bit of darkness | Dark Ambient
Each one of us harbors some inner demons, and Saphire Systrine channels these emotions tangibly in this fittingly named track. Starting with a simple synthetic piano, layer on layer gets added on top of each other to create an interplay of sound that conveys feelings of inner strain and how fast they may emerge within oneself, supplemented by the abrupt change of composition towards the end. Make sure to let yourself be carried on this journey by giving this track a listen!
Frozen Night – Scarlet Rain’s Elegy | Symphonic Metal
Thrack – Never Give Up (Feat. CantoAcrylic & Tall Pine) | Folk
Thrack has teamed up with Canto and Tall Pine to make a warm and hopeful track set in the Fallout Equestria universe. It opens with Pine going ham on a sick mandolin riff before Canto and Thrack take turns singing inspiring lyrics about never “give[ing] up the fight” even if it costs them everything. Towards the end, their voices join together briefly to modulate to a different key, and it’s absolutely heavenly. The instrumentation is also incredibly lush with guitar, banjo, mandolin, and even some glockenspiel. All together, this song’s sure to help you smile even through the darkest of times.
PumpkinZ – Twilight | Neurohop
PumpkinZ’s “Twilight” is a really interesting electronic track which fuses many different genres and styles. It opens with lush electronic piano balanced with a harsher plucked synth before rolling into an attention grabbing bass line seductively modulating between pitches over a lo-fi like groove. The middle section offers something completely different with its reverb-washed strings and flute before returning to its earlier section. Overall, it’s relaxing while simultaneously demanding your attention, making for a unique experience.
RedWire – CRYOGENIC | Drum & Bass
This erratic electronic track from RedWire depicts their own take on the origins of the Crystal Empire. The lyrics tell the story of a pony named Crystal Snow, who sets out to unlock the powers of the Crystal Heart and in so doing, finds herself consumed. Buzzing bass, frantic drums, and some wicked vocal effects create a captivating soundscape to complement this haunting, creative tale.
Koron Korak – Snowball Party in Ponyville | Electro Orchestral
Koron Korak blessed us with a cheery little Hearthswarming gift in the form of this short but sweet piece. A snowy picture is painted with playful melodies, bouncy chords, and of course, plenty of jingle bells! The theme may be chilly, but the vibe is warm as ever.
Blurain – Broke My Trust | Alt. Rock
One of Blurain’s most recent releases tells us about Tempest’s tragic story of betrayal between the promises of Storm King and the reality after she completed her part of the contract. Between the dynamic electric guitar and the more mysterious tone the music takes during the instrumentals really gives that whole narrative atmosphere while we discover a different point of view from the movie. So embark on a tale of music about betrayal and discover a part of the show that was hidden by you with that rhythmic theme!
