La+ch – Kiss

Atmospheric and melancholy opening track from the latest full length from La+ch. ‘Kiss’ incorporates dub step, house, and electronica to paint a tapestry of sound that is somewhere between dystopia and lost love. It’s haunting and grooving all at the same time. My only complaint is that it is too short – but I guess that’s why we have play repeat on our devices. La+ch is a Toronto, Canadian based singer / producer.

NRVS LVRS – Little Cults

Husband and wife duo NRVS LVRS (pronounced “Nervous Lovers”) just releases their latest offer from their new Cult Lite EP. By the way, love the bands name and it’s takes it to another level knowing they are husband and wife. This first cut from the EP has a playful summer time energy to it. Has a solid groove and 80’s esque feel that just adds more feel good to the track. Love the lead line which is more of a manipulated vocal but fits perfectly. Be sure to check out their entire EP if you like this cut as the EP has the same energy from start to finish.

The Lovepools – Cut Me Slack!

Reminds me a bit of MGMT meets Passion Pit with a pinch of Empire of the Sun. This energetic tune has a fun vocal melody that centers around the idea of childhood dreams yet to be realized and the strive to fulfill them. The synth parts remind me quite a bit of MGMT and how they have this swirling vibe to them. The vocals and harmonies are well done and fit the mood perfectly. Really dig the piano lead line in the chorus and the melody of it.
