Review:
“All Rabbits Die Alone” by hauntingclaire is a track that conveys intimate feelings of self-discovery. Do not let the title throw you off, the song is not as intense or gruesome as the title presents. Instead of leaning into anything overwhelming or harsh, the artist presents a song that is deeply reflective of their trouble in finding purpose in life. Hauntingclaire sings about a constant loop of being stuck in the same routine. The song uses symbolism to depict themes of helplessness and the search for meaning in life. Using the “rabbit” as a metaphor for one’s self, and telling the listener it is laying “flat on its back” to describe the inevitable ending of life. Later singing the line “enjoy all of this while you can, it won’t stay for long” the artist represents a sense of urgency in achieving something. The song describes a self-destructive fate even while hoping for an opposite outcome. The sound of the song is a constant build of electronic components until it reaches the chorus of the song which is pretty upbeat in comparison to what the lyrics suggest. These electronic components are one of my favorite things about hauntingclaire’s music Read the rest of this entry »

Explore Baltimore: Celebrated Summer Records
April 17th, 2026 by Allison Shulman
This week on Explore Baltimore, we visited Celebrated Summer Records, a record shop located in Hampden that has been part of the Baltimore music community for 20 years. The store has been open in its current Hampden location on Falls Road for 16 years, but was previously located in Towson.
Owner Tony previously worked at Reptilian Records, and when it closed, he was inspired to open his own shop and continue to share his love of music. The store is named after the song Celebrated Summer, reflecting that same personal connection to music’s influence. Celebrated Summer Records is meant to be a no-judgement space where customers can explore music freely without feeling pressured or intimidated. The shop has something for everyone, with jazz, indie, local artists and much more. Read the rest of this entry »

Review:
Review: This self-titled, 8-track album by campthehills is honestly such an incredible release. The artist has only really surfaced within the past year and has already been putting out so much great music. A lot of newer artists take time to find their sound, but campthehills already feels like they’ve built a real identity and style for themselves. Read the rest of this entry »
