https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xpgNJq7fZg Electronic maestro Banvox's newest full length album 'Sellout' dropped earlier this week, and it's severely stuffed with new magic. I wanted to single out opening track "Still Loving You" in particular though. The song is both comfy and an absolute jam that you can't help but leave it on repeat. I'm obsessed!
【music video】angel aura / voces muertas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae9805EQTVY Houston gazers Angel Aura begin a new era with single 'Voces Muertas' out today. Hauntingly atmospheric and bursting at the seams with the reverbified guitars that drown my sorrows, this is a track that leaves its mark immediately. Look out for Angel Aura's debut full length coming soon!
【check!】brasko / milk chocolate (feat. nai br.xx)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqZqD9pfA7Q Smooth, creamy pop that melts in your mouth. Featuring the sultry, sophisticated Nai Br.XX (who you may know as the singing voice of Carole in the BRILLIANT "Carole & Tuesday" anime.) who really brings the track up a notch. Don't sleep on this.
【music video】kero kero bonito / when the fires come
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEAuoJRVgE8 KKB begin a new era with a song that sits somewhere firmly between the early PC sound of their debut and the lyrical depth and feeling of their last album. Enjoy, and catch them on tour in the USA this fall if you can~
【check!】roisin murphy / incapable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H02BPY7vEms Yes, I know I wrote FACK ALL this month. Life is rough! While I was out slaving away, my ambitious electronic queen Roisin has gifted us with another new single (following her quadrilogy of 12" singles with Maurice Fulton), "Incapable" is an eight minute disco stomper that blurs the line between smooth 80s funk...

【old but gold】girls aloud / whole lotta history
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozx-VvqO_ys What a song. Does Sarah's outro make sense? No, but it WORKED. Nicola's voice carries such emotion in her small part, one of the biggest moments for her in the Girls Aloud discography. And then there's Nadine to carry the chorus. None for the other two.
【music video】youth / sylvia plath
https://youtu.be/GmBHj9UXyXo A breezy blend of bedroom-meets-dream pop, "Sylvia Plath" is the second track on Youth's latest five track EP "Garden". The video itself is soothing and plays with the senses, frames melting into each other like one heavenly acid trip. Check the video out now, and stay tuned as I'll have a review of the...

【random/old news】shazna reunited and I knew nothing about it.
In case you also missed it, one of the most popular and highest selling VK bands of the 90s got back together and are touring (with three new members)! It's really cool to see Shazna back out there, as I thought they were done for good after their farewell show in 2009. Vocalist Izam even... Continue Reading →
【check!】sembari / fall apart
https://youtu.be/jedwC5I146g Sembari's dropped a new song today, the first cut off his forthcoming extended play. I'm in love with the cover art, the sensuality of the track and how much of a chill vibe (while I hate writing that out, its the most apt descriptor!) it carries. available as a free download now, don't miss...

【check!】unknown mortal orchestra / major league chemicals
https://youtu.be/0owjlA1LUIk Psychedelic magic you may have missed from 2018's "Sex and Food". Not into UMO? Fix that immediately bucko.
