This 12th edition (and 1st for 2019!) of Ready to be your Soundtrack includes the “icy” moody electronic ‘delicacy’ (taken from ‘Gravity Pairs’ LP on Ghostly International) by New York outfit Beacon, an ear-melting, indie miracle destined to be on the top of your i-Pod’s playlist  by Aussie band Deep Sea Arcade, a hauntingly catchy indie track (from debut E.P. out January 31st)  from a trio that “came together after a night of playing Nintendo 64 and drinking milkshakes in Long Beach, CA”, Younger Hunger, an electro-pop heaven flowing with eerie melodies by Norwegian electro duo Jouska, a “unique blend of R&B, new wave hip-hop, dance beats & left of center indie pop” that expands the cloud hop’s limitations setting new standards, from secretive duo Darci, a post-punk ear-candy (the opener off ‘Micromégas – EP’) with some sublime riff work by Indiana  7(!) piece band Maccogallo, an idiosyncratic electro-pop tune accompanied with a sublime video directed by Olly Frostie (Alt-J, Cigarettes After Sex, and Run the Jewels..),  by experimental electro-pop duo, FINKEL, an “impossible-to-resist” in its melodic supremacy indie song (-bring the summer back now!-) from dreamy, Indie Pop from California based act LOST BEACH, a futuristic indie-electro opus that could be played almost every morning in another Galaxy -probably far away from Planet Earth- by Anglo-French trio Safetalk & an alternative rock anthem screaming “bring back the 90’s!” (Yup, it’s so ace!) powerful enough to “bombard” your woofer, from American act VAZUM.
