  • Gravity Circus – Shuteye

    This is the latest single from the duo Gravity Circus (Japanese Jimmy “Onibi” Nagaura Yabiko and Dutch German Ken “Toro” Luske). The track opens with up with a melancholy chord progression on acoustic guitar and Jimmy’s scratchy voice that is perfectly matched to the overall vibe. The track progresses to the chorus which is a blend of indie pop and electronica with it’s electronic textures that are tastefully placed. The melody of the chorus is beautiful as well as the ambience.

    The song tells a tale of memories past that still haunt but with a yearning to let it be and to move forward.

  • Andrei Sora – Uber Blindfold Epicyon

    Love when an instrumental can tell a story and that’s exactly what Andrei Sora did with Uber Blindfold Epicyon. It starts with a softer lead in the intro and then is struck with what sounds like an unfortunate series of events. The track, at least to my ears, has movements rather then verse/chorus since it evolves and takes the listener on a sonic voyage. The classic synths sounds are always a pull for me and there is plenty of that on this tune. Andrei Sora is a music producer from London by way of Romania.

  • We Will Kaleid – The Hurt

    There is a certain tenderness / vulnerability to the vocals of this track. The lyrics talk about dysfunctional relationships and the tired loops of self-destruction. The mood and atmosphere of the music puts this melancholy vocal in the perfect frame. The production and textures are engrossing and evolving. Reminds me a bit of the deeper tracks from Little Dragon. We Will Kaleid are electronic pop duo Jasmina de Boer and Lukas Streich.
