Man With A Corduroy Heart - Caravans
Prepare to have a brain-melting, whimsical experience in Caravans. Man With A Corduroy Heart is the musical moniker of Ryan Davies, a Cambridge-based artist known for crafting sounds that hypnotize and intrigue the listener. In Caravans, he does just that and more, with a vintage sonic style and 70’s funk charm. The wah-ing guitar riffs, thick basslines, and swirling solos send you into a sublime daze while the soft percussion ticks in mesmeric patterns. The vocals are hazy and distant, like faces in a dream, and float weightlessly in the breezy musical backdrop. Man With A Corduroy Heart embellishes his music with sonic textures and tones that can only be extracted from the deeper layers of creativity and artistic brilliance. Listen now!
Emmi Maaria - Bride’s Farewell
Bride’s Farewell gives us a dazzling glimpse into Emmi Maaria’s imaginative and immersive artistry. The exuberant and vivid soundscape is an intricate and alluring design of folk music, classical influences, and uninhibited experimentation. Behind the rich and tantalizing instrumentation, there is a heavy and dark tale, based on a Finnish epic ‘Kalevala’, a story of a groom and his control over the bride-to-be. Swelling string solos and looping string tunes bring melodrama to the music, electronica infusions add character, and Emmi Maaria’s theatrical vocals inject the music with emotions. A gripping show of sound and story, Bride’s Farewell is a rare, exquisite work of art. Listen now!
Midnight Prisms - Spin Me Again
LA-based musician Midnight Prisms embraces listeners in the glitter and shine of electro-pop in her latest release, Spin Me Again. The track is part of her upcoming EP ‘New Age Disco’. Synth melodies don multiple textures—warbly chords, pulsing trills, harmonic tunes, and airy whooshes, all coming together smoothly giving a dreamy and radiant appeal to the soundscape. The beats loop in a catchy rhythm with sharp and swift punches, adding an inescapable groove to the music. 80s influences shine bright in the production, especially in the vocals, and transport you into scenes of disco nights and dancefloors. Her voice, layered and dilated, is commanding and expressive, scaling the heights of melodies with charming ease. Midnight Prisms does not fail to amuse and Spin Me Again is a glowing example of that. Listen now!
Pleaning - Space Out
Pleaning, a Germany-based artist, conjures an expansive and ethereal world in Space Out. It is an enigmatic fusion of aural elements, laid carefully in a magnetic design that just engulfs you whole. Synth rules the sound, with pensive electronic beats commanding the slow yet moving rhythm. Synth melodies are summoned in multiple tones—a celestial ambiance, brooding chords, pulsing hooks, and other sonic shapes. The music is rooted in duality, it is bright with dark undertones, and soothes yet stirs the spirit. Pleaning invents a sound that is deeply imaginative and captures within it, the vastness of the aural medium, allowing you to float away in the ebb and flow of the sound. Listen now!
