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.

London based electronic musician William Phillips, aka Tourist, has just revealed a new video for the track Sleepwalking, that features someone in outfit that looks like 1980’s childrens artist Tony Harts clay sidekick Morph.

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 …
New Music: Eilish Gilligan, Creature of Habit
Melbourne’s Eilish Gilligan could not be accused of being prolific, but what she does release is stunning and all the more valuable for its scarcity. Her new release, “Creature of Habit” is out now and it is a haunting, beautiful song. Melancholic, electronic indie pop just begins to pin its style down, and yet it …
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 …
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 …
