Track: Vogue Dots – If you stay
Out this week is the new single from Canadian Synth pop duo Vogue Dots. In keeping with at least my image of snow capped, windswept Canada, its full of these melancholy but breezy melodies and icy synth lines. Its as though you’re transported to a place where solitude is the norm, rather than the exception, …

Say Psych: Album Review, Entranced Earth by The Myrrors
