]]> Taleen Kali make sense of loss through a haunting lens with ‘Crossed’ https://vanyaland.com/2025/10/06/taleen-kali-make-sense-of-loss-through-a-haunting-lens-with-crossed/ Mon, 06 Oct 2025 12:05:39 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042422 October is a time of emotional appraisal, when summer’s indifference has finally faded and the dramatic obligatory pull of the winter holidays has not yet consumed our souls. As we take mental inventory, we note the things we have gained and the things we have lost, and soundtracking the latter is a swirling fit of shoegaze, post-punk, and dark-psych from Taleen Kali called “Crossed.” The track and its mystical gothic mood, which dropped late last month via Dum Dum Records and […]

Fall’s standard Oktoberfest flavors and the fuzz of the Massachusetts rock scene come together this Saturday (October 4) at Deep Cuts’ third annual psych-rock event (not to be confused with Punktoberfest, another genre-specific fall gathering that takes place at Lowell’s Thirsty First).

Now the trio takes it north to Medford for a Hello Hell record release party tonight (October 4) at Deep Cuts, and there’s an air of exclusivity to the show that we find kind of refreshing. That’s because after Hello Hell experienced a delay in production of its physical product, […]
