Kyrill – Perfect Stranger

Kyrill’s ‘Perfect Stranger’ is a gorgeous blend of synth-pop with indie r&b, with soothing vocals, and dreamy soundscapes, with poignant lyrics which according to the artist are “both a confession and an act of liberation, carried by a soundtrack calling for melancholy and dreams”. 

Gal Musette – Plateau

‘Plateau’ is the 2nd single from Gal Musette’s upcoming album ‘Pendulum’, due out in May 2023, a transcendent indie folk sensation with emotive vocals, and lyricss which describe the human experience of being completely numb to emotions/feelings. Excellent!

John Lord Fonda – Together Again (feat. Gabriel Afathi) – Stroblights Remix

John Lord Fonda recently released Together Again (Remixes) EP, and the Stroblights Remix is among its highights, a stunning, italo disco, “Moroder-esque” banger with excellent production and alluribg vocals that will leave you begging for some more!

Youthstar & Miscellaneous – Love Need Hate

Based on the relation to addiction and the suffering caused by the three subjects of this track, ‘Love Need Hate’ is far from being dramatic. Full of energy and vigor, Youthstar & Miscellaneous take the original side of the object that generates these affects. To listen without moderation!

aMute – These Crazy Crazy Dreams

Balancing minimalism, ambient electronic music, dark folk, and a gentle look back to the post rock of the early 2000’s, Days of Light and Let Go delves into the machinations of both the external and internal worlds we find ourselves living in. aMute’s (aka Jérôme Deuson) 8th album was recently released by the brand new Belgian Label Hopedrive Editions. ‘These Crazy Crazy Dreams’ is an excellent sample from the album, an excepetional ambinet electronic treasure accompanied by a great video.

Kent Danger – What Kind of Love

Kent Danger’s cover of Childish Gambino’s ‘What Kind of Love’ (double single with original song, ‘Analog Love’) and is a great example of the artist’s potential and great, soulful vocals. Definitely on our radar for future releases…

Matt McClure – Bright Light Bureau

Matt McClure’s album ‘Insolvency Aside’ and ‘Bright Light Bureau’ is among its stand-out gems, a jangly, indie folk treasure heavily influenced by The Television Personalities sound. According to the artist this ear-candy is about the effects of an experimental street drug of unknowable origins. Pure, underground and directly seeping into our brain!
