The Red Dots Reveal Music Video For "Tormenta"
Madrid-based darkwave/synthpop duo The Red Dots have revealed the video for their latest single "Tormenta".
The song is taken from their new EP 'Collapse', released last month (July 15). Get it here.
In 2015 Leandro Gámez & Núria Estúñiga, guided by their musical enthusiasm, decided to create a project in which they will give free rein to their taste for electronics and styles within the Cold Wave and just because they had come up with an attractive name for a band after visiting an exhibition by the light artist Jim Campbell.
It is not until the end of 2017 that the duo make their musical debut with their first EP 'Highwaves'. Thanks to this work they can be known in the underground scene and play as supporters of bands like Drab Majesty and Xeno & Oaklander.

With “On My Mind” the pair deliver a dreamy synth pop effort, balancing floating wistful reveries with hints of melancholy. The track wind through memories of a distant lover, with the pair longing to be reunited一“Close your eyes and hold my hand / Waiting for the day I can / Hold you in my arms again / Love you until my life ends.” The pair live up to their nocturnal inspirations, conjuring a heartfelt ballad that perfectly captures late night-longing and moonlit memories.
Han and Dimas explain, “When memories are the only thing you have, they grow more vivid with time as your mind clings ever more desperately to them. ‘On My Mind’ is an upbeat yet melancholic dream pop song that explores memory and laments love lost - but is it gone forever?”

Melbourne post-punk outfit Bitumen have shared the video for their latest single "Moving Now Now Now".
The song is taken from their sophomore album 'Cleareye Shining', which came out in November 2021 through Heavy Machinery Records. Grab your copy here.
Moving Now Now Now showcases the band's epoch of expressionist impulse.
Monochrome silhouettes are met with chess stylistically doused in Hollywood Regency. Bitumen’s Kate Binning embodies slick femme fatale with a choregraphed performance emphasising Binning’s affinity for stage and camera.
Produced by Jenny Branagan and Andrea Blake and edited by Bitumen’s very own Bryce Maher. “Moving Now Now Now”, connects the dots between Anger’s scandalous expose ‘Hollywood Babylon’, Bob Fosse, Klaus Naomi, and the golden age of glamour noir in the MTV Music Video.

Fujiya & Miyagi Premiere New Single "Slight Variations"
Brighton electronic/art pop outfit Fujiya & Miyagi have premiered their catchy new single "Slight Variations", featuring backing vocals by Everything Shook.
The song serves as the title track of their upcoming new album 'Slight Variations', set to be released on September 30th via Impossible Objects of Desire. Get it here.
Singer/guitarist David Best explaines: “There’s two meanings behind Slight Variations as a title. The first being how although biologically we are pretty much the same it’s the differences that tend to define us and cause friction and misunderstandings. The second is a nod to the suggestion that all our records sound similar to one another, when they all sound quite different to me. There’s a thread running through everything we do but we’ve always tried to push things forward.”
“Slight Variations” opens the record with a pulsing dancefloor gem, pulling together house and disco beats with sharp funk guitar and backing vocals from Everything Shook. The band captures an addictive synthesis of sounds and genre, tightly packing the track with infectious grooves, jolting synth textures, and colorful lyricism. Like the best of the band’s work, “Slight Variations” shows their affection for the many sub-genres of electronic and dance music, crafting a track that manages to be sleek and propulsive while remaining insular and hypnotic.

SPRINTS Air New Single/Video "Literary Mind"
Dublin-based post-punk/garage band SPRINTS have aired the video for their brand new single "Literary Mind".
The song is out today (Aug 31) and follows-on from the ‘Modern Job’ EP which came out in March via Nice Swan Records. Grab it here
With Literary Mind, Sprints share another slice of cathartic, melodic and punchy punk-rock, produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band. The single bookends a busy summer for the band, which included supporting Liam Gallagher in Belfast and a massively popular Glastonbury set. The new run of dates follows two sold-out UK tours. The accompanying video is a feel-good romantic odyssey culminating in the band crashing proceedings with typical exuberance.
On the new single, Karla Chubb offers the following "Literary Mind is probably one of our most light-hearted songs in Sprints in terms of subject matter, while still exploring something quite close to heart. It's a real deep dive and exploration into the feeling of falling in love, particularly queer love, in which you feel like you've been conditioned to believe a heteronormative way of life is the only "right" way to live, which leads to incredible difficulty and emotional oppression.
You push these feelings down, ignoring them, praying them away even but eventually with acceptance comes a rush of emotion that you never thought you'd feel. You unlock, finally, what it means to be happy and with it comes the rollercoaster of emotions, hot sweats, fever dreams, happiness, giddiness and excitement that we've tried to capture in the energy and pace of the song."
