Echolust, Philip Obando and Armond Angeles' post-punk/darkwave project from Long Beach, CA have just shared a new single called 'Zombie Birds.' The track 'flies' under futuristic yet 80's reminiscent skies of dynamic synths and powerful guitars. Check it out below.
Coastal is the solo project of Fanou Alley (Skittle Aley's vocalist and guitarist) from Limoges, France. A little while ago he started recording music with GarageBand with drum samples of TR 808 and keyboard additions. The results are some beautiful instrumental synthwave tracks inspired by the sea, the clouds and holiday times. You can stream the brand new 'Back In The Past' and the rest of the 'Beginning EP' on Soundcloud or Bandcamp and watch a video for '360°' below.
Chrisfamiliar and Death in Saturn worked together in Miami based band Kodiak Fur. The product of the time they spent together is 'Crystal', a mesmerizing electronic track which is Chrisfamiliar's first release as a solo producer. Their approach to production is minimal and most of this was recorded with a headphone mic. There were additional drum edits done by Steven Sanz. While they are planning on releasing a few more collaborations by the end of the year, Death in Saturn recently released a debut EP called 'A Loss Of Blood', which has a darker synthwave touch. Check out all the tracks over their Soundcloud and Bandcamp pages below.
I do not love. is the moniker of Massachusetts based musician Gregory Carl Miller. For more than two years he's been giving us samples of his talent through various mostly digital releases, yet today his long-awaited first physical full-length album came out on French indie label Beko Disques. "Promises & Crosses" is about broken promises, solitude, disappointment and emotional 'crosses' that everyone has to bear sometimes. However, the dynamic synth tunes of all songs remind us that from anything bitter something beautiful may come out in the end. In idnl.'s case it's this album.
