Track: Chrome Sparks – What’s it gonna take
Chrome Sparks, aka Jeremy Malvin, is back with a new single, ‘What’s it gonna take, out on Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records. It’s the Brooklyn producers third outing for the label, and showcases his pop sensibilities as he mixes it up with hip-hop and club music influences. Explaining the themes behind the track, Malvin says, …
Track: Cavern of Anti-Matter – Make Out Fade Out
Cavern of Anti-Matter return with a new album, Hormone Lemonade, the third studio record on their own Duophonic label. It sees the band heavily utilising modular synths, alongside their self constructed drum machines, whilst still able to keep the loose improvised feel that marked their previous records. Taken from the record is a new track, …
Track: Anna Meredith – Calion
We’ve a lot to thank the Adult Swim singles program for, and the latest things to add to that is their latest (week 38 to be exact) release – British composer Anna Merediths new track Calion. Its a towering, beautiful electronic composition, that see’s layers of synths come wash over eachother, and entwine around eachother …
See: Cults reveal visuals for Right Words and Natural State.
New York duo Cults have released new videos for two tracks from their recent album Offering – Right Words and Natural State. Shot in LA, the video is a crossover of mediums, directed by Elliott Sellers with animations by Lucy Dyson.

See: Son Lux reveal new video for track ‘Slowly’
Taken from their forthcoming fifth album ‘Brighter Wounds’, out on February 9th on City Slang, Son Lux have shared a second track called ‘Slowly’. It’s a delicate, slightly off-kilter track where synths and drums seems to move in different orbits, and Ryan Lott’s feathery, beautiful but fragile vocal seems to half draw things together but …
Track: Jack Grace – Row Me Home
If you need some rather beautiful electronic soul to brighten your day, then Row Me Home, the new track from Australian songwriter Jack Grace will probably float your boat. Its completely stripped down, with this vaguely gospel feel about it shrouded in these almost eerie wisps of electronica. It comes on the back of his …
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 …
