Screens 4 Eyes are an electro indie rock / dream pop music project from Tel Aviv. Their first EP Ask Me Not was released in August 2015 and a few days ago the group released their second EP Behind These Doors. The lyrics describe a yearning for intimacy and being drifted to the world of dreams and the subconscious, which offer an adventurous and intriguing alternative to the banality of everyday life. The EP is available to stream and download on Bandcamp and below you can listen to the gorgeous and new favourite already 'Channel To Id'!
They come from Brazil but they are currently based in London and they make post punk/krautrock music with shoegazey influences. They got their name from Jarvis Cocker's anecdote about wearing glasses for the first time and realizing that the holes in the trees were the sky. Tito Cordeiro (guitar/vocals), Brenno Balbino (bass/ synthesizers), Juliana Favero (drums/ percussion) are Sky Between Leaves, a band that released their debut EP Klein Blues in early October. The title track is one of a "perfect blue", evoking feelings of intensity while being unrestrained and infinitely free and hopeful. Below you can watch the video for 'Klein Blues', an homage to Yves Klein (the inventor of the particular colour), and immerse yourselves in boundless skies.
Sometimes there is in the air, diffuse and indefinable, something that catches, snaps, something that leads to the faint-hearted, to the creative and inventive. It may be an idea, a trend, a state of mind; unable to escape. Jean-Marc Le Droff might not pay attention and stay comfortably in what animates, since 2002. He stayed in the "rock fight" in a Brest electro-rock duo. But then, his fighting pessimism needed to be expressed differently. After making more personal compositions with his machines and his guitar, he kept discreetly to himself before giving in to pressure from his entourage, seduced by his music. Listening to Egoprisme, it is hard not to think of a cold wave-post-punk-80s inherited music. While we tend to dream about the future, sometimes it reinvents the legacy of past decades without taking forcing consciousness. Reminiscent? Perhaps. Or maybe not.
The indie scene also feeds on itself. So according to his musical knowledge, especially in Egoprisme, we find what we want to see. A cold wave that will be sensitive to this dark world, this serious and monotonous song that will evoke the glory days of rock which wanted Gothic. The synthetic side of his music also recalls of the boom times of synth pop, and the electro and indie rock audiences will find themselves immersed in an echo of their own references. Returning things intuitively where they were left, Egoprisme built a modern music, with a dark wave and dark synth pattern, which is the junction of many currents; at the intersection of cold, rock and indie, a resolutely upbeat electro. This music, moving and moving, is made to be listened to and dance. And with Egoprisme, we dance with much gravity with levity. In Paris, Rennes and Brest we have been able to see Egoprisme share the bill with Tropic of Cancer, Qual (Lebanon Hanover) Try not , Fuzeta, mode in Gliany, the Wheal, Republic of Dahu and Icesun. EP2 is out today digitally on Beko Disques. The cover artwork was made by French artist Jb Stephan. FP2T is excited to premiere the 4-track EP as well as the video for the opening track 'En Secret'. Stream, watch and dance to one of our favourite 'unkept' secrets of the year!
Belgian shoegazers Newmoon shared 'Head Of Stone', the first track off their upcoming debut album Space a couple months ago. With the day of the official release drawing near (October 14th), the band just dropped a video for a new stellar track called 'Helium'. The beautiful video captures friends of the band dancing around in a freezing warehouse. Space will be available on LP/CD via PIAS Recordings and Mayfly Records and you can (pre)order it here. You can watch the video and join in the dance below.
