Marrying lo-fi field recordings, distant reverb-heavy pianos and looping, ambling guitar passages, Blumerle is yet another vehicle that Matt C White (Realizer / Open Palm) utilizes to create moments of requisite beauty during long days trying to exist under capitalism. “Mist” is ephemeral, but continues to linger long after its burned out.
Hailing from Curibita, Brazil and since relocating to the United States for College, the young dream-pop artist has created a woozy, gloriously downcast slice of bedroom psych that recalls the fervent, melodic wash of Blankenberge and songwriting and pacing of Melody’s Echo Chamber. Samira Winter lives up to her namesake by creating a song that …
The New York heavy-psych band’s latest single from the 2019 album Deepfake is a noise-laden weirdo ripper that pushes their goth-tinged blackened shoegaze into heavy bouts of seasonal-affective brutality. Jess Rees’s throaty croon is buried under sheets and sheets of softened distortion and fuzz. The volume and intensity showcased on Deepfake make them easy successors …
“Disembodied is a series of audio pieces generated by the vibrations and movements captured by an electronic ring worn on the finger of a feminine spectrum person while bringing themselves to orgasm. The ring transmits nothing but a spreadsheet. This is the first step in a series of de-sexualization experiments seeking to discover the amount …
Coming out with the requisite fire and righteous indignation that matches the namesake of this song, the Long Island Post-Rock / Post-Metal band have created an intense and gripping accompaniment to the words of climate change activist Greta Thunberg’s words.

Fans …
The Los Angeles quintet have created a simmering, spectral-gazing track that pinpoints the missed messages and hurtful missteps of two people in an out of sync relationship. Set against the backdrop of shimmering guitars and a wall of shoegaze noise, softened underneath the sway of Sophia Medina’s distant croon, “Tied to me” is a slow-burn …
I am 100 % on board with a track made specifically made for “chilling by the pool” at Ibiza. The faintly Balearic beat is categorically blunted – specifically played at the decibel imperceptible to hangover-sensitive ears. Synths come in as keyed-up gentle crests atop waves of pure tonal drift. It’s a pretty location-specific track that …
The Danish electronic musician, Lauge, revisits “Skyer” or “Clouds” in Danish and uncovers beautiful drones and synth melodies built around a few choicely constructed piano chords, allowing the composition a sense of weightlessness. The space between these chords are filled with edgeless drones born into the sky on an updraft. Listen on Spotify
Coming off the excellent Transmusical EP out on Young Dumb late last month, “La Casa” unfolds from a rolling house rhythm put through it’s paces by a series of short synth stabs, glitched bass line and fried vocal samples that are relentless in their pursuit of linear perfection.
