Goodzie – Goodbye

Put simply, this track has a lovely melody. It has that melancholy flavor I love and the beat is solid. Production cranks up the energy with an interesting break around the 30 second mark before landing into the chorus. The lyrics seem to mark an end of a relationship sung from both perspectives. It has a mystery to it as well, since the listener is not given the full picture of what has transpired previously.

GusGus – Higher (ft. Vok)

What can I say, it’s GusGus and when they are on there is no denying the love. This track is shining example of a truly inspired GusGus track. There is always heart in their music and a dash of melancholy. There is a dreamy quality to this new release and the vocals of Vok elevates it to new highs. That stinging bass sound is harsh and sharp but gives the track another pulse.

Klangkarussell – Shipwreck

This track is so pretty and has a melancholy vocal that just melts your heart. Love the old school synth lead sound on this track as well. All in all this track floats across a still ocean and lands in a sweet spot of pop and dance. Klangkarussell, which translates to “Sound Carousel”, is Austria duo Tobias Rieser and Adrian Held.
