This 13th edition of Ready to be your Soundtrack includes the sublime mockery of today’s social media addiction -(kicking off with an upbeat motorik tempo to end up with a psychedelic oblivion you will recall for days…)- by Swiss band (upcoming UK tour next month!Dirty Sound Magnet, a metal influenced trap banger that will blow your brains out by Venezuelan electronic prodigy Felmax, a Capiroto Records’ release, -a sci-fi ballad unleashing an “onliest”, ethereal atmosphere, and a bright example of synth experimentation, by Swedish Nathanael Saposnikoff aka Moran Gang, a psychedelic tune leading you to an unimaginable spiritual high with heartfelt lyrics like ‘I’m beginning to forget why I was sad If there ever was a reason to be sad Baby you’re not it I’m beginning to forgive why I was mad If there ever is a reason to be mad Baby you’re not it All I want to be is closer to you More than I ever knew My love’ (produced by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James) from U.S. collective Amo Amo, the furibund 150-second single unleashing some serious dance-punk energy through an experimental prism (imagine LCD Soundsystem on LSD or maybe LSD Soundsystem), by a London band which formed out of warehouse art-parties called Famous (making their live debut in Brighton in March!), an ear-melting glo-fi/bedgloom retro track by Liverpool’s Pizzagirl, an alternative “energy injection”  with a memorable, almost anthemic climax (out on Ignition Records), by Brit group Indigo Lo, a delicate, if not “fragile”, disarming alt-pop ‘treasure’  from “inspired by 1960’s jazz” alt-pop collective sky coloured, a dreamy 4AD-esque sensation with sublime, finely-combined male-female vocals, from Toronto outfit Favours & a 3-minute cosmic disco “epicness” (out on Eskimo Recordings) from Norwegian citizen Even Hymer Gillebo (following Lindstrøm’s, Prins Thomas’ and Todd Terje’s ‘golden’ footsteps) aka Cavego.
