Boy Friend - Lost In Film

I love Boy Friend. I love the emotional sounds that are so easily deliver and the essential dream pop that so passionately support like they were born in it! Their latest release entitled Secret City EP is no less than a small masterpiece. Christa Palazzolo’s magic touch can be heard so profoundly in the closing song of this EP, Lost In Film. A cinematic journey that you wish it would never end, an electric fuzzy ballad that floats in its melodic ambiance like a cloud in the sky. Stream the song and watch this inner wander in the wonderful video below directed by Leah-Lani Griffin.

Secret City EP is out now on cassette via Night People and you can grab your copy over here.

Dirty Beaches - Landscapes In The Mist

Here’s another new track from Dirty Beaches’s forthcoming Drifters/Love Is The Devil double LP, which will drop on May 21 via Zoo Music. For all those who expect the sound of Badlands to surface here, you’re mistaken! Landscapes In The Mist is a free jazz interior soundtrack for an imaginary noir film that works perfectly in the after hours reckless times.

Dark Horses - Alone (Rules Remix)

In anticipation of his new EP, which will drop later this month, the blog’s favorite producer Rules rises for once again with a mind blowing remix on Dark Horses’s Alone. The DC producer goes for a dark, sinister vibe here with the post ambient introduction to welcome the dream layered vocals of Lisa Elle and the late arriving beats ready to chrome the Dark Horses’s sanctuary in an irresistible uk/garage style! Stylistically perfect and sonically infallible!!!

Dark Horses’s Black Music LP is out now via Last Gang Records.

Ku - Rubicon (Official Video)

Ku unleashed the official video for his second single, Rubicon. What it starts like a goth amalgam of synth flavor ticking beat, it finally evolves into an emotional dream pop starlight with hints of Brian Eno’s present among the soulful ambiance of Rubicon. These otherwordly senses are visualized in the video above, a David Lynch-ian inspired creepy clip with weird things happening in the screen while Ku’s stimulating sounds are flooding your speakers! A great accompanied optical sensation directed by Corinna Triantafillidis that fits perfect with the aforementioned sonic experience.

KU’s Feathers LP will drop in March 26 via Inner Ear Records.

Khing Kang King - Metal On Oxtongue

Old Apparatus member LTO (disguised this time as Khing Kang King) and (oc)cult rapper Mowgli joined forces to create a subterranean ride to the twilight lane. Metal On Oxtongue is a harsh, toxicated tone of grey with all the glitchy percussion and abstract breaks enlightening the blackened hip hop of Mowgli’s tinge while the hazy ambiance is circling the electric atmosphere like a smoke…

IAO EP is out on Sullen Tone on April 8th.

Twistyknobs & Flow-ers - Sunshine (Feat. Faery Teeth & Victory Garden)

Suddenly, i realised that i’ve been back and forth to these eerie, transparent post beat sounds and dream pop lullabies that this track emits in all its glory. This four piece collaboration between Twistyknobs, Flo-wers, Faery Teeth and Victory Garden (i think that they’re all hail from Boston) stirs all the ingridients that has been magnetized from the big spectrum of the experimental pop music. Sunshine is a hauntingly minimal, electronic pop deja vu that you’ll wish to re-live it as many times as possible.

Ruby Ridge - No Shade

There are times were the only thing that can touch you is a strictly emotional, psychedelic shape of music picked up from a lost place of an unknown location! Massachusetts’s Ruby Ridge with No Shade are boarding in the same haunted train where acts from Not Not Fun have been there before, with no terminal in their minds but just the endless ride of their chaotic, unearthly pop music based in its tribalism of the psychedelic weirdness yet holding strong the restrained melodic interiority the way Prince Rama or even Laurel Halo do in its most bombastic way!!!

Dalhous - The Physical Body
After Mitchell Heisman 10”, electronic experimentalists Dalhous (previously known as Young Hunting) are for once more attacking through Blackest Ever Black with their debut album, An Ambassador For Laing. The Physical Body is the first cut from the aforementioned LP, a dark and twisted yet breathtaking chill out sound that recalls a maniac Boards Of Canada scoring the soundtrack for a haunted, ghostly silent film. So quietly relaxing that it brings out the fear….
An Ambassador For Laing LP is out due this April.

Ice Eyes - Under The Hood
A story of warped out classics and strangely affiliated sounds is what Ice Eyes are narrating with Under The Hood. A downtempo and minimal combination of ’90s Warp electronics and today’s Ghost Box alienated journeys, that enchanted my listening pleasure with these melancholy synths and silky beats while transcended today’s world with a futuristic mechanical love story that flows all the blood and sands a beating heart only could…
Under The Hood/Inches is available for free download via Sonic Playground.

Dirty Beaches - Love Is The Devil
Dirty Beaches announced earlier today his forthcoming Drifters/Love Is The Devil 2xLP, which will drop in May via Zoo Music, as well as the title track Love Is The Devil.

TWOS - Feel

image

Saturday morning. Getting out of the bed, brushing my teeth, opening the laptop. Filling my cup with hot coffee, the modem is on and the cigarette is already burning! Saturday is bandcamp searching day and the first EP i get to hear is from the unknown producer TWOS. You don’t have to go far to understand that his slow rn’b and dream pop layers are blooming in a sonic paradise. Feel marks a road trip set in the sky with all the post drummin’ beats and eerie vocals transcending a stimulating route of unexpected view! It sucks you in its world of digital words within seconds!!!

Feel EP is available for free download via Japan’s netlabel Aural Sects.

Don Jones - Morning Glory ft. LE1F

image

It’s a little bit hard not to fall in the smooth layers of dropping jaw rap that Don Jones and LE1F are crossing. Morning Glory gets its hazy yet so sexy aftertaste from the moderated production skills of Squalladay and BOODY, walking in the same darkened footsteps of Main Attraktionz and Haleek Maul but retaining an amazing dub/rn’b chorus ready to launch this thing off! Get your notepads and start writing down the ones for 2013….
