Track: Future Jr – Sentimental Trick
Out now via the Kobalt label is a new track, Sentimental Journey, from Brisbane based artist Future Jr. It’s his second single and he comments that the track is about the “intricacies of navigating the line between friendship and romance, and the ecstasy and heartbreak that inevitably comes with it”. It’s a rather a lovely …
Track : Symbion Project , “Bloodthirsty”
Symbion Project led by Seattle’s own electronic craftsman Kasson Crooker releases the single Bloodthirsty on October 20. What a striking, strange title for a down-tempo synthetic single song is this…and dressed with the appropriate “slashed” blood red front cover, I thought I would listen to an EBM manifest! Let’s see, Symbion Project is the brainchild …
Track: Locust Toybox – Saptiro
Whether the decision to release Drownscapes, a new (as described on the press release) sonic adventure from Locust Toybox, aka David Firth, on the eve of Halloween was accidental or planned, there’s a certain other worldliness and beauty about it that can be at once beautiful and slightly unsettling. Although best known as an animation …
Track: Leon of Athens – Utopia
If you’re in need of some rather gorgeous electro-pop, then sit back and listen to ‘Utopia’, the new track from Leon of Athens. Soaked in bubbling synths and dripping with melancholy, Utopia, still manages to leave you uplifted, the chorus providing the shards of sunlight needed to keep you looking forward. It’s taken from his …

Review: Prides – A Mind Like The Tide pt.1
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from synth-pop duo Prides, but, the first notes of their new EP are a glittering lifeline to the broken hearted, an invitation to share our stories and unite in our personal battles. Part 1 of A Mind Like The Tide is the long-awaited follow-up to the band’s debut …
Track: Bipolar Sunshine – Major Love
We’ve had dealings with the shimmering electro-led pop of Adio Marchant AKA Bipolar Sunshine before. Well, he’s back after moving from his native Manchester to LA, and fresh from last years huge collaboration with DJ Snake, he’s back with a new track, ‘Major Love’. He’s grabbed what he can from his surroundings with mellow Manchester …
Track: Lawrence Rothman – Stand By
Taken from the new album ‘The Book of Law’, released on November 3rd through Downtown / Interscope, Lawrence Rothman’s new single, draped in a slick R&B covering is called Stand By, and it’s an expression of pain, wrapped up in rather lovely electro-pop clothes, with just enough of melancholy in his words and melodies to …
Track: Ryan Egan – Tongue of Yours
What do you do when you’ve injured both your hands, and as a result are left with no instruments? Well in the case of NYC based Ryan Egan, you sing all the chords and then programme the drums instead. The result is ‘Tongue of yours’, taken from his forthcoming sophomore EP, Fever & Bloom, which …
Track: White Cliffs – On Call
Brooklyn solo artist White Cliffs has revealed his new single “On Call” – perhaps the sexiest and sleaziest ode to always being available on the telephone. “I was thinking of you then I feel my pocket vibrate” he drawls over a squelchy groove. Perfect for a lazy sunny day in the city, it’s the sort of …
