Nonetheless’ closing track on its debut album is an arpeggiated malediction of a techno track. It’s rapidly scaling synth notes suggest something sinister without ever fully showing the listeners. “Thanksgiving” teases and stalks around in the shadows. The way the track’s bass notes rumble is genuinely enticing. You want to lean in rather than run… Continue reading Nonetheless- “Thanksgiving”
The desires presented on JEFFE’s restrained synthpop track “UNDECIDED” are, for the part, remarkably modest. She wants a little caffeine and nicotine when the day feels like it’s gonna be an unbearably long one. She wants to be able to hit the snooze button whenever she damn well pleases. She’s looking for just a touch… Continue reading JEFFE- “Undecided”
Look, if you somehow don’t get swept up listening to Anna’s dazzling new techno cut “When I Am Only A Dream” then you must be hardhearted and leaden-footed. Hell, you’d have to be a boulder to not be carried away by this. Before you can even get properly calibrated to your surroundings, the Brazilian artist… Continue reading Anna- “When I Am Only A Dream”
The most impressive facet of Molly’s graceful seven-minute house cut “Voovoo” is that the track always feels like its gliding just above the ground. Perhaps over an amber-hued field. Even when the French artist craftily works in thumping drum machine beats that lithe feeling doesn’t dissipate. She keeps things nimble. The various synth textures will… Continue reading Molly- “Voovoo”
Attempting to equal or surpass what’s one of the most iconic scores in horror movie history is a preposterously tall order but damn it if Thom Yorke isn’t making an excellent bid. The Radiohead frontman already dazzled last month with “Suspirium,” the ambient-like first cut from the soundtrack to Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria remake, and now he’s returned… Continue reading Thom Yorke- “Has Ended”
The capacity that some folks have to cut people out of their lives when they become even the slightest, most mild inconvenience is distressing. That’s not how relationships should function. Not healthy ones anyway. If someone starts mentally, spiritually and physically burdening you then of course bid them adieu. That’s only fair to preserve some semblance… Continue reading Ariel- “In-N-Out”
If electronic artist Kluentah is any kind of space invader, it’s a flailing one. The sort of intergalactic being that can’t stay still, is constantly thrashing about. Because that’s precisely what’s going down on the static-laden “Invasion.” Under sheets of crackling noise are mangled vocals that barely resemble anything human. Not only are they hoarse… Continue reading Kluentah- “Invasion”
In late 2017, Montreal duo Young Galaxy dropped a hypnotic dream pop jam called “Elusive Dream.” Anchored by metronomic beats and tidal synths, it was song said to “feel the wonder and the sadness of the world all at the same time.” There wasn’t a hint of schadenfreude to it. Catherine McCandless and Stephen Ramsay of… Continue reading Young Galaxy- “Future”
Effortless. Painless. Trouble-free. Natural. Uncomplicated. Easy. Exactly how many descriptors need to be exhausted to get at how Yaeji makes it look on surprise new single “One More”? Would throwing in a “breezy” or a “fluent” change the equation any? However you want to explain it, Yaeji’s at a point right now where she doesn’t… Continue reading Yaeji- “One More”
Creep. Creep. Creep. Stick to the shadows. Gradually inch forward. Carefully peer around that corner. Try to keep as quiet as the steam rising up from the manhole. This is stealth mode. You’re flying slow and low under the radar. The way this track is moving? That’s the way you need to be. Every movement,… Continue reading Orson- “12:09”
