MIEN, the new krautrock/psych band comprised of The Black Angels' Alex Maas, The Horrors' Tom Furse, Elephant Stone's Rishi Dhir and The Earlies' John-Mark Lapham have unleashed their new song "Earth Moon".
It is lead-off track of their forthcoming self-titled debut album, set to be released on April 6 via Rocket Recordings. Pre-order your copy here.
About the track, Rishi Dhir said: "this was the first song Tom and I collaborated on back in 2012. It started off as a potential track for a Horrors record (“Luminous” I think), but it didn’t make the cut. So, it eventually made its way into the MIEN world… I tracked some drums and bass, JM did his mad scientist thing (there’s a tap dancer on the tune!), and Alex summoned ancients chants of the earth and moon."

MIEN are: Alex Maas (vocals, samples, loops), Tom Furse (keyboards, programming), Rishi Dhir (bass, sitar, keyboards) and John-Mark Lapham (keyboards, samples, programming).
Liverpool synthpop/lo-fi pop artist Pizzagirl (aka Liam Brown) has revealed his new single "Carseat".

Los Angeles fuzzpop/synthwave/electro pop artist L.A. Girlfriend (aka Sydney Banta) has aired "REGINA" a 3-song short film for her upcoming new 'REGINA' EP.
“Instead of multiple music videos, REGINA as a singular short film is a narrative built on three characters – Fever, Faith, and Fortune (three themes that have held the most weight for me in my career.) Fever, represented by “Possession” is about raw, all-consuming emotion that threatens to knock us off balance or take us to an unstable place. Faith, cued by the “Ex” interlude, represents grace, rebuilding, and learning how to rise up and embrace the different facets of ourselves, and finally Fortune (“Wild”) is mastery/the result of unwavering faith and a true acceptance of self.”
Raised on a diet of New Order, Iron Maiden, and the movements of the 80s, Sydney Banta combines electronic and analog elements to create the powerhouse that is L.A. Girlfriend.
