STAFF PICKS
Lonesome – Liar (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Jonathan recommends: UK up-and-comers Lonesome make a comeback with “Liar“. With a strikingly melancholic ambience, Lonesome push their emotional brand of post-hardcore that is sure to connect with fans of the style.
Mikau – Spiraling Decay (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Returning after several years away, Mikau is back with their blend of nucore and cybergrind on “Spiraling Decay“. It’s a cocktail of vocals layered with effects, theatrical key work and rapid beats. Whatever Miaku is cooking up, hopefully there is much more in the pipeline.
Soft Blue Shimmer – Perfect Thing (Single)
Label – Other People Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Dream pop trio Soft Blue Shimmer drop their second single “Perfect Thing“, off their upcoming record They Will Leave Us With Nothing. Ruminating grooves move through the track to provide a gentle beat. Ramond‘s gentle yet gorgeous vocals sing in a thoughtful manner, as if thinking aloud their inner monologue.
Malevil – Le sel (Single)
Label – Stellar Frequencies
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: French synth duo Malevil return to action with an all-engrossing soundtrack to the night. Ambient synthwave turns to modern classical, complete with saxophone and a chamber orchestra. Fans of Ocoeur and The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble should listen closely.
