MORGVE - Blame Yourself For It // video

So in four days we will get a brand new album from the kvlt duo MORGVE. In the meantime they premiered an official video to their single from the previous LP "Bestiary". Enjoy.

Mike Grabarek - Seasonless Change

Mike Grabarek is one half of the once-blog-darlings duo Magic Fades. This is his second tape for Portland-based label Pearsoll Peak, a modern folk tale narrated by mandolin strumming and fairy-like soundscapes. Very enchanting and calm.

Four Way Hips - Tempo De A​ç​ú​car

FWH is an alias of Montreal-based producer and musician Matt Legroulx, one of many of his. His latest album "Tempo De Açúcar" delivers yesteryear's VHS transmissions, glitchtronica and proto-vaporwave, something that would end up a decade ago in Olde English Spelling Bee catalogue. Very James Ferraro-esque. Like a drowzy/mushroom-high session of switching through late night TV channels with commercials. I like it.

You can buy the album here, and stream it in full below.

STRFLL - Slowmotion

STRFLL takes on the 2010 classic collab between Teengirl Fantasy and Shannon Funchess "Dancing in Slow Motion", giving it his own witchy spin, and practically making the song his own. You may hear the remains of Shannon's vocals, but overall the track feels like a fully original composition - slowly drifting down the river Styx towards the void. Hope there'll be a digital download for it at some point too. Peep it here.

V.A. - Pirata 666

Here's your party at the flat soundtrack sorted for this weekend - Naafi returns with the sixth volume of their insanely good compilation series Pirata. Just press play and get your freak on. Free download.

Pale Palace - King Of The Hill + Southport Hooligans

I convinced Pale Palace to finally upload this sick single to Bandcamp, after it's been on a constant repeat on his Soundcloud. You can now purchase the release here. Or stream it in it's original SC glory here. Absolutely ill upbeat witchhouse from Sweden. Nu-school is really really exciting, cannot wait for more stuff from this guy. There's an EP/mixtape in the pipeline for later on this year for sure.

Internet GF - Penance (Demo)

Salem is back with a bunch of heaterz from her Internet GF transition to Edith Underground era. All jams, no fillers, witchhouse influenced dance music.

Download for free here, stream it below.

3NDLES5 - Embolo (prod. SUS1ER & dog99)

Wobbly rap banger from Australia, courtesy of dog99 and Sus1er on production duties and vocals from 3NDLES5. Very very dope.

Pearly Drops - A Little Disaster

Biiig early/Visions-era Grimes vibes, but better. Pearly Drops is a duo from Helsinki consisting of Sandra Tervonen and Juuso Malin. Their latest album "A Little Disaster" came out in April via Cascine, and I cannot stop listening to it. It has this light, fell-good atmosphere that effortlessl makes you bop your head. "Get Well" is easily one of the best singles from this year. Do yourself a favour and brighten up your day with this LP.

Buy the album here, stream after the jump.

(o)+hers & Neon Lushell - No Re​(​mix​)​ligion

The entirety of Neon Lushell's album "No Religion" got a remix treatment from late Ron D'Andrea aka (o)thers. Twisted, gloomy ride, that will teleport you to centre of the Elm Street during Freddie's reign. Spooky shit.

Download here, stream below.

Sad Madona - Chloroform

Fucking ace, new single from Sad Madona. This guy's been on a roll for a while now, after his excellent vinyl fro Oraculo, I'm stoked to see what's next for him. Free download as always.

Nathan Micay - Fangs (Club Mix)

Since the release of his incredible Akira re-soundtracking attempt, Nathan Micay has been on a stready path to become one of my fav IDM/club producers these days. His latest album "To The God Named Dream" is slated for release on August 4th, but before that LuckyMe (the label) released a dancefloor version of one of the singles - "Fangs". Pre-order the LP here.

Favors - The Water

Catchy chiptune/electro/synthpop jam from David Mohr aka Favors, recorded in collaboration with Evan Bailey and Ben Lewis. Think Tiga's "Shoes" but more song-like. Can pin it down what lures me into pressing play over and over, but this track has it. Download for free here.

Sofia Reta - Delicious EP

This one came out of nowhere, but damn, it's so good. Xavier puts on dark shades and delivers a hardcore EP with three club bangers and one dembow cover of Kate Bush. I know I say it often on this blog, but this is amazing!

Buy the EP here, stream below.

Eternal - Kerosene

Eternal is Gabi Araujo, musician and producer based in San Francisco, CA. She's probably best known as a basist of garage rock band Buzzed Lightbeer, but it's her work under the Eternal alias that gives me goosebumps. Shoegazey lushness on "Kerosene" will make you melt, brilliant track that has the same vibe as some of the early tracks from SALEM. Check out her SC here.

STRFLL x Charlatan - Doin Better

Great new collab between STRFLL and Charlatan. Smooth pulsing atmosphere helps to carry that sick keyboard throught the track. Possibly first teaser of an upcoming project. Watch this space.

Jake Ferguson Featuring Malcolm Catto - Emotions Run Dry

Part two in the Madlib Invazion Music Library Series, following that groovy JJ Whitefield LP. "Emotions Run Dry" features two members of the Heliocentrics collective - bassist Jake Ferguson and drummer Malcolm Catto. If you haven't heard about either of them, please make sure Catto's classic psych/breaks mini-album with MRR-ADM. On this new LP, Ferguson and Catto channel library sounds mixed with cosmic funk and psychedelic jazz - a mixture that will make you want to melt into your sofa with headphones on vibing to the sounds. Veeeery 70s.

Buy the record here, stream in full down below.

LAKE R▲DIO - Jealousy

Lake Radio dropped this surprise single a couple of weeks ago on Bandcamp, blending some leftfield beats with downtempo, jazzy pads and chopped vocal samples. Sounds like a bit faster Emancipator. Cop here.

Forest Swords - Butterfly Effect

The return I did not expect but am more than happy to experience. Forest Swords is back with new tour and a 3-track single. Part industrial-leaning electronic music, part sound design, both "Butterfly Effect" and the b-side "Tar" are quite amazing, and sound like something Hyperdub would put out in the 2010s. Digging this!

Buy the single here, and stream below.

Helen Island - Marian 323​ / ​i Know

Two slowcore jams from Heles Island (aka Trigger Moral). While "Marian 323" drifts freely in the late 90s alt rock bay, "I Know" tends to lean more towards trip hop influences. Very tasty stuff and free to download. Click here.

Jon Collin & Demdike Stare - Minerals

Demdike Stare reunite with guitarist Jon Collin for a new album of concréte dreamweaving performed on tape, pedals and a homemade Swedish nyckelharpa - a type of keyed fiddle. More psychedelic than either of the trio's previous records, 'Minerals' drops the blues to dive headfirst into the smudged folk wellspring. Make sure to check out their previous two collab LPs!

Buy here, stream available there as well.

Wampyric Solitude - The Cold Rain

Dark ambient and Lynchian mood served from the man behind The Midnight Ensemble. Wampyric Solitude seems to be more focuse on black dungeon synth and lo-fi drone in general. Have a browse here.

Male Tears - Sad Boy, Paint My Nails

Fresh sad goth single from Male Tears, unfortunately they disabled streams on Bandcamp (you can still buy it there), so linking the YT video above.

CRAVE - Backdraft // video

First single (and video visualizer) for CRAVE's upcoming album "Inner War Delirium". It will come out on vinyl via Heat Crimes and can be now preordered here. Cannot wait!

Soul Collector - Age Of Asphyxia

Fuck me, this is heavy. New demo / EP from Soul Collector, following the excellent self-titled album from last year. Doom and raw metal shredding. Buy here.

6LΔ$$ †ΔBLΣ 6IRL$ - End_Of_World_XXII

New, dance mixtape from Glass Table Girls. It's been a while since I've heard anything from them, "End_Of_World_XXII" takes us to the late 90s European night clubs with it's blend of upbeat trance, techno and everything in between. Stream only this time.

Vidchajj - No Pulse

Two track single from Vidchajj, with jumpy trance-rave on side A and zombiefied version on side B. Like them both, probably the latter a bit more for the old witch house vibe. Stream both here.

STRFLL - Longing / Together

Continuing the ambient electronic explorations, STRFLL delivers a new 3-track single "Longing / Together". Beautiful music, ideally consumed during the end-of-the-day wind down to soothe your post-internet anxiety. The tracks feel quite cinematic and contemplative, bringing to mind Leyland Kirby's "Sadly, The Future Is No Longer What It Was". Amazing effort, cannot wait for more! Make sure to check out his previous single.

Get this release here, stream below.

Chino Amobi - What Happened To That Underground Sound

(T)rap lord Chino Amobi returns with a new anthem for art college campuses and internet warriors. Banging shit, and free download too! Peep "What Happened To That Underground Sound" here.

Pale Palace - Blood Of A Living Man

Pale Palace is at it again! After his incredible flip of Zola Jesus' "Lost", he's having a go at her single "Siphon" from 2017 album "Okovi". Unlike "Lost", "Blood Of A Living Man" sounds nothing like the original, lifting Zola's vocals to a new place and turning them into this bass-trap pop anthem.

Arkia - Physical Prayers

New meditative LP from Arkia dropped on Bandcamp last week, but due to my holidays I wasn't able to properly cover it. Created through improvisational sessions on various synthesizers, "Physical Prayers" feels like a cosmic muzak for the Milky Way explorations. Since Arkia recorded those synth sessions on tape, they have this beautiful, lo-fi hiss that gives them character and depth. Check out "Physical Prayers VI" for example, just lush.

You can buy this album here, and stream it below.

Crucify April - Cereal Killed Her (VOODOO CRYS†▲LS Cover)

Tru underground lo-fi rap from Crucify April, covering a 2012 single from Voodoo Crystals off his mixtape "Chalk Circles & Cocaine". Produced and rapped by C/A. Very noise!

White Ring - Before He Took The Gun

"Before He Took The Gun" is the new single from the witch house OGs White Ring. It somehow manages to get the big room vibe while commiting 100% to the lo-fi energy the band is known for. Very catchy beat that sounds like Crystal Castles on EBM trip, that comes to life tenfold thanks to the vocals from Adina. Stream and buy here. You can also cop a t-shirt that was released alongside the track here.
