New Entry: Secret Attraction Drops New Single "Peppermint"
New Entry: VALI S.C (ex-Sextile) Unveils New Single "Sub/vert"
The song is taken from their forthcoming EP 'To Set The Sea in Wolves Teeth', which will be available on February 28 through Cercle Social Records (Soft Kill, Chameleons, Asylum Party). Pre-order your copy here.
Elkin delivers hazy, futuristic vapors, and weaves together a Golden State-inspired smoke that is nostalgic enough to be appreciated by the overlooked, unsentimental listener who recalls a sunnier, more mystical California.
He brings a guitar saturated, five-song opus that builds a transformative sonic bridge from the dark path of crime and drug use of Elkin's past into a new era of love, light, freedom and ultimately recovery. Taking influence from My Bloody Valentine, early 4AD and coldwave, the new EP is also dedicated to the memory of Eddie, a former Sextile bandmate who passed away from a drug overdose.
Ultimately, VALI S.C is a rebirth and a proper burial of the past transgressions and an exciting reintroduction to the artist.
About the track Elkin said, "Sub/vert is about Infinite sustain, and a sense of permanence, it's what allows me to continue to find my child like self. Infinite sustain in those guitars. It’s what inspires me to be able to create. The stillness of the universe and being in the direct center of that is chaos."

Watch: Michael Zodorozny Shares New Single/Video "Constant"
The song is taken from his solo debut album 'Other Side' (produced by Matia Simovich aka INHALT), out today February 14 through Electronic Emergencies. Grab your copy here.
The side he shows on the album is a rougher and more personal one. The seven tracks, including a feisty remix by The Hacker, are dark and thrusting with an EBM and industrial feel. Home-made and self-invented instruments complete Michael's specific, extraordinary sound.

Dehd Announce New LP 'Blue Skies', Stream "Bad Love"
The follow-up to 2020's Flower of Devotion, will be out May 27th through Possum Records and is the band’s second consecutive breakthrough, loaded with the most compelling, compulsive, and expansive songs of their career. Pre-order your copy here.
Blue Skies offers another jolt of timely hope, only with twice the power. These 13 hits feel like flashlights in the dark, acknowledging how difficult everything from love and sex to living and dying can be while supplying the inspiration of their own experiences.
While continuing to write and record every part of the album themselves, the new relationship with Fat Possum did allow for a few indulgences, namely in the addition of Grammy winning mixing engineer, Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The National, Arcade Fire), and mastering engineer, Heba Kadry (Slowdive, Bjork, Cate Le Bon), ensuring Dehd’s vision for “Blue Skies”.
Sharper and smarter, with harmonies and rhythms more sophisticated and considered, Blue Skies is still Dehd – just more wild and wonderful than ever before. Another jolt of timely hope, only with twice the power.
Check out the album's tracklist and listen to new single "Bad Love", below.
Blue Skies Tracklist:
01. Control
02. Bad Love
03. Bop
04. Clear

New Entry: Young Prisms Release New Single "Self Love"
The song is taken from their upcoming third studio album 'Drifter', which will be out on March 25 through Fire Talk. Pre-order your copy here.
From the band: “‘Self Love’ is a story of my tendencies to isolate, cut ties, and completely destroy my relationships. Something that was instilled in me since childhood. When I was 26, I found myself with a baby, no income, San Francisco expenses to pay, and a complete loss of identity. I could no longer be utterly careless and treat my life and the things in it as if it were all disposable.
“Still, I questioned my worthiness of basic essentials and continued my complacency with a low quality of life. I had to try and build something and with time I realized that the foundation of it all was my relationship with myself.”

VERO Announce Debut LP 'Unsoothing Interior', Stream "Cupid"
The 11-track record will be out on May 6 via PNKSLM. Pre-order your copy here.
On the album, Vero reflect the nature of life itself. Their songs prioritise feeling over perfectionism – what feels, or sounds, best – creating a record that tumbles through its contents with a sense of unpredictability, excitement and curiosity. “We don’t want to be super musicians; we want to write the best fucking songs and just have the best energy and show people that we’re having fun,” explains singer and bassist Julia Boman. “We don’t want to be a perfect band, in that sense.”
“Synthesisers are so controlled,” Boman explains. “You have to really be like, ‘Oh, that’s not the right tune’, but when you’re playing the guitar, it can sound pretty chaotic. When we write now, we don’t have much control. We’re not very picky about it.”
“We want to be able to play everything live as it sounds,” adds Gyökeres. “That just really changed the sound of the band too.”
It’s an approach that’s stuck with them into ‘Unsoothing Interior’, an album full of raw guitar riffs that spin and swirl and fizz, and evoke the spirit of artists like Sonic Youth, Garbage and Pixies (lyrically, it boasts a sardonic wit in the same vein as Elastica).
On the new single “Cupid”, just in time for Valentine’s Day, they say: “Cupid was the first song we wrote that made the album. We had made a couple of demos before, but we weren’t loving them. They all sounded a bit too pretty and safe, so when the drums for Cupid were done, we took a guitar and started making these wheeling, chaotic noises, and that was it. That was the sound that set the tone for our album. The lyrics are a bit dream-like, it’s about lust and control.”
The record is a document of the three musicians’ own experiences, injected with a natural urgency that comes from both the reality in the songs and writing and recording them in a studio paid for by the hour. For its listeners, it acts less as a roadmap through the turbulence and more as a confidante to share the highs and lows, drama and desire with, encompassing everything from sex, friendship and figuring out exactly who you are.
Check out the album's tracklist and listen to “Cupid”, below.
Unsoothing Interior Tracklist:
01. Cupid
02. Heather
03. Sticky
04. Sex, me & TV-shows
05. 22:12
06. Beluga
07. Spin
08. She's Scared of Everything
09. BEG!
10. Special
11. Exit 2

‘My Man’ is a shimmering analogue-synth-powered shock-pop bop all about “difficult things,” the band explain. “Suicide, comatose, sexual abuse, misogyny, rape culture, trauma. It’s also about forgiveness and hope.”

Watch: A Place To Bury Strangers Unveil "Love Reaches Out" New Video
The song is taken from their new album 'See Through You', released earlier this month (February 4) via Dedstrange. Grab your copy here.
“’Love Reaches Out’ is the hope at the end of the tunnel that concludes this album,” says Oliver. “I went through such a traumatic experience writing this record and yet people were there to help me, so this song is about appreciating and thanking them.”
With its triumphant marching snare and a hooky bassline, “Love Reaches Out” concludes See Through You on a warm and fuzzy note—though not the guitar kind. No circuit can contain the electrifying joy of two souls united. “Moments like this highlight how much [Ackermann has] grown as a singer,” writes Heather Phares at AllMusic. In her review of See Through You, she praises “Love Reaches Out” as “Ackermann and company’s most empathetic song to date.”
In the music video directed by horror auteur @GabeCarrer (For The Sake Of Vicious, The Demolisher), the third in a series directed by the band’s favorite horror movie directors, a woman unexpectedly encounters and reaches out to a shapeshifting entity in the most unlikely manner. This entity befriends her after it was left for dead and gives her the support needed to help battle her own anxiety and inner demons. “It reminds us not to turn a blind eye to the small things and that friendships can manifest in the most unlikely ways,” says Carrier.

New Entry: White Lies Premiere New Single "Blue Drift"
The song is taken from their forthcoming sixth studio album 'As I Try Not To Fall Apart', which will be out on 18th February 2022 through [PIAS]. Pre-order your copy here.
Speaking about it, Charles Cave says: "Dare I say it this is another tip-toe into a more progressive-rock realm. The song feels very much a nighttime drive to me, winding empty roads, foreign air creeping in through the window. It’s a song about being humbled by the mind’s ability to lift us up and bring us down. It’s grand, full of longing and bombast, but there is an uneasiness to it too. It never quite resolves. This is going to be HUGE when we play it live!"
