Escapologists are a Nottingham/Berlin based trio making dreamy indie-electronica that seems to exist within its own self-contained world. A world filled a sense of yearning and nostalgia. Recalling Talk Talk at the point where their early indie dance-floor hits morphed into a more introspective body of work. Escapologists make songs of a pop sensibility full […]
On August 28th Swedish musical force of nature Cornelia presents ‘Stormy Weather’ on Exceptional / Camp Mozart records. Although no two of Cornelia’s inventive records sound the same, ‘Stormy Weather’ exemplifies her eerily beautiful, off-kilter electronic pop and sweet, spectral vocals. Her voice and originality has won friends in high places: in a short space […]

This Autumn, Flying Lotus releases ‘Until The Quiet Comes’, the long-awaited follow-up to 2010’s Cosmogramma. Composed, according to FlyLo, as “a collage of mystical states, dreams, sleep and lullabies”, ‘Until the Quiet Comes’ has the distinct feel of this nocturnal trip.

Reigniting Sweden’s electronic scene with her own injection of dark, synth driven goth-pop, Karin is regarded as Scandinavia’s hottest new export. With a Norwegian Grammy already securely in her clutches and a growing army of fans and […]

The third track to be taken from their hugely anticipated debut album ‘Enjoy It While It Lasts’, to be released 13th August, ‘Never Fade Away’ is a perfect pop moment. A gloriously epic song with […]

How does time work anyway? Did you know that 2008 is as much yesterday as yesterday is? 2008, that was when it began – a sweat young thing boiling up out of the mythical swamps of ooze and grooves. Ty Segall was just getting started, his need to rock was ordering itself into existence. Now […]
