The bright, soulful vocals stand in stark contrast with the desolation of the lyrical content and the downtempo, dark synth-pop of “Outbreath”. Yet together, this accounts for something irresistibly beautiful. “Outbreath” is the latest single by Belgian indie-artist André Tajchman based in London. There is also a shimmer of optimism in this dark and[…]
Jon Prezant Donna Missal BOYS Archivist Esther Joy Lane Birrrd Two People
Three weeks before the release of her debut album “Body Works” Negative Gemini releases another track “Rollercoaster”, which features less vocals and reminds me more of her earlier work. Negative Gemini plays a Mondo.NYC showcase at Bowery Electric on September 15th.
The Two People are Phoebe Lou and Joey Clough from Australia. “If We Have Time” is a super chill, floating track with a dose of melancholy or “a sort of smiling defeat” how Phoebe puts it. This track is a few weeks old, so expect more of them soon.
From Birrrd‘s just released EP “Daisy Chain” comes the single “Coyote (Part 1)” and there’s something highly alluring about the beautifully flowing, dreamy track with its super laid-back vibe. Ned Joyner, who goes by Birrrd, says about this project: Last winter, I found myself at a crossroads. I’ll spare you[…]

Bright, jangly guitars that stand in stark contrast with the dark, hypnotic vocals and the more noisy, industrial overall vibe. While[…]
Esther Joy Lane is a singer/producer from Oxford, England, whose music I found first on Soundcloud. Now she has a brand new song out, the ethereal, slow building “I Hope”, which is just as brilliant as its predecessor “Quest For Her Master”. I hope for more songs from her, but[…]
The Snaz are a joyful and simply super cool indie-rock band from Brattleboro, Vermont, comprised of Dharma Ramirez (vocals, guitar), Nina Cates (bass, vocals), Zack James (drums) and Mavis Eaton (keys, vocals). We are huge fans of the four-piece and saw them live in Austin, for SXSW 2015 and then again in New York, playing[…]
“Everything Is Wanted” comes with a moody, soulful 70s disco vibe and a generous touch of dreaminess. There are staccato disco bleeps, cascading tripped out synths and the lyrical content like “If you took away time…” is set to sound so beautiful, it makes you think and… feel. “Everything Is Wanted” is the lead single[…]
