True to its name, the project releases worlds with each playback platform offering a slightly different version of the same track, in alternate rhythms, spatial layers, and performance takes that shift depending on whether you’re streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, or listening through Dolby-enabled headphones.

Bla bla bla (Cha Cha Cha) by : Review

Spanish experimental outfit Sehore returns with their second full-length album Husfikbur, a genre-defying collection that doubles as a musical mirror and a surreal joke, one that only the bold and the humorously inclined will fully appreciate. Following their award-winning debut Ladencia (which bagged a Silver Medal at the Global Music Awards 2025), Husfikbur continues their eccentric exploration of kitsch, philosophy, and sound art, blending the absurd with the sublime.
