New Music: Priest, White Wing Dove
We’ve been huge fans of duo Priest since their debut under the name XPriestX and its great to see a new release following a brief hiatus. “White Wing Dove” has all the hallmarks of Priest – yearning melancholy indie electro-pop with expansive skywide choruses and bittersweet melodies. Priest is the result of a collaboration between …
Playlist: Robot Rock
Robots! They are coming for you, taking our jobs, driving our cars, offering to help you over the internet, it’s all part of their dastardly plan to take over the world. Despite recent high profile robotic embarrassments, songs about robots have always been popular. This playlist avoids the most obvious, but gives an overview of some …

Track: Portico Quartet – Endless
Portico Quartet have revealed a new track “Endless” ahead of their forthcoming album “Art in the Age of Automation”. Minimal beats and industrial soundscapes gradually peal pack to reveal a warm sensuous soundscape.

Album Review : Oneohtrix Point Never’s ‘Good Time Soundtrack’
If you told me that Daniel Lopatin was actually from another planet or dimension that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. The music he creates as Oneohtrix Point Never is otherworldly electronic in nature. It’s progressed from drone-y ambient on his debut Betrayed In The Octagon to the more deep space pop ambitions of 2015s Garden …
Meet: Interview with QUIET DOMINO
Quiet Domino recently released the debut single ‘Metropelium’, drawing inspiration from new musings on a hometown city. Founded in San Francisco, this is the new project of singer-songwriter-reckoner Mark Nelsen. His unpredictable live shows and knack for writing and producing genre-blending songs led him to create his debut single as Quiet Domino. Over the past …
Album Review: Turtle – Human
In music, we find self-expression. Innermost feelings are committed to sound, be it carrying the fervency of Soul, the delicacy of Classical, or the honesty of just a person and a guitar. All of these genres are the most well-travelled avenues to convey the intensity of emotion – yet Electronic music is the path hardly …
Album Review : Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Add Violence’ EP
Say what you will about Trent Reznor, but the guy over the last four years has been in constant creative motion. Nine Inch Nails’ 2013 return with Hesitation Marks was met with equal parts cheers and jeers. Cheers for a guy coming out of a 4 year NIN shutdown to a solid return to form. Jeers …
Album Review: Calvin Harris – Funk Wav Bounces Vol 1
The evolution of Scottish DJ/producer Calvin Harris has been quite an epic one. Rewind to his emergence on to the scene, when he was a geeky looking guy singing about how amazing the eighties were. It’s always been his production skills that have trumped his limited vocal abilities, and he capitalised on this on his …
Album Review : Videodrones’ ‘Nattens Hævn’
Videodrones makes music that grabs you by the jugular and doesn’t let go. It’s dark, brooding electronic music that conjures up late night flicks you’d come across when you were a kid in the witching hour. Vampires, zombies, demons, witches, and the supernatural emanating from your television as a strange, buzzing wave of music accompanied …
