Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra - Asking For a Friend
Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra knock it out of the park with their latest track “Asking For a Friend”. This song is incredibly experimental and atypical in its creative choices which pay off to deliver you an explosion of flavours and sounds to your auditory palette. The body of this song is largely composed of orchestral instruments playing a whimsical and swingy tune that is mixed to perfection and infectious to listen to. Standing out from all the other elements in this track, however, are the vocals which are a robotic TTS. This track is unendingly interesting and more than worth checking out!
Kreajours - Soloing the Heartlands
Kreajours display their talent for creating atmospheric and hazy tracks with their latest release “Soloing the Heartlands”. This song has an insanely smooth flow that is dreamy and experimental in its tone. Despite the fuzzy tone, this song's mix is full of nuances that are crystal clear and gorgeous like the electrifying guitar solo that closes this song out. Incredibly uptempo and dynamic making for an incredibly immersive and dynamic listening experience. I loved listening to “Soloing the Heartlands” as this soon oozes meticulous craftsmanship. So go check this track out as soon as you can and add it to your playlist!
Rokita - Hyperbolic Overload
Rokita has crafted an incredibly forward song with their latest release “Hyperbolic Overload”. The feature of this song that jumps out to you immediately on this track is the unrelenting vocal style that feels like a marching barrage of lyrics to listen to and this builds the tense atmosphere Rokita was going for. Electric nuances on the instruments and fills make the body of this song’s soundscape whole and pleasant to listen to. A great mix, solid instrument work and pointed social commentary make this song the all-rounded masterpiece it is. So go check it out right now!
Maines - Electric Eyes
Maines’ latest track “Electric Eyes” is a downtempo shoegaze delight that you can enjoy listening to over and over again. The song contrasts itself in your ears alternating between clean guitar leads in the verse to powerful hazy and incredibly distorted tones in the chorus that give this song a sense of rising power and energy. The mix is delectable and the production of this track is on par with some of the top of the industry making this song pure ecstasy to listen to. Every second of this song speaks to you and you should really go check this track out!
Dyan - Dark Streets
Dyan crafts a cinematic and shoegaze-y soundscape with her latest track “Dark Streets”. The meat of this track is in its excellent instrumentals which build a soundscape that reaches dizzying heights and fully take control of your senses as you listen. When Dyan singing kicks it it brings a calming tone to the track and adds to the dreamy nature of this track. Underpinning this entire song are powerful characteristic drums that add a whole burst of flavour to this song’s low end. This song is truly a masterpiece of songwriting, production and melody coming together to bring you an unforgettable experience.
