Zadar Unleashes New Single "Halos On The Moon"
Philadelphia post punk/gothic rock artist Zadar has unleashed his new single "Halos On The Moon".
The song, featuring vocals from Isa Nielsen, is out today (Sept 2). Get it here.
The artists who influenced Zadar the most would have to be The Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Order, and Glynn McCann, whose DIY ethic was a big inspiration to him as well. He's been listening to these bands and artists for so long that they’ve become part of who he is. There are also a lot of newer bands that have carried on the Post-Punk and Gothic Rock genres that have had an effect on him as well that are worth mentioning, such as Drab Majesty, Interpol, She Past Away, and early Editors.
Isa Nielsen is a vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter who has played on MTV Specials, MTV VMB AWARDS, and festivals.

Buzz Kull Announces New LP 'Fascination', Airs "Rise From Your Grave"
Sydney darkwave/synth pop producer Buzz Kull (AKA Marc Dwyer) has announced the release of his new studio album 'Fascination'.
The follow-up to 2018's New Kind Of Cross, will be out on November 25 through Avant! (EU). Pre-order your copy here.
The Australian master of the dark synth arts is back and - boy - he is out for blood. We've been missing Marc Dwyer solo project Buzz Kull since his latest single Last In The Club from late 2019 and since back then we knew he was up to something.
At first glimpse, the minimal wave early days seem far away now that Marc has gone full Body Music with his upcoming new album, but there is a thread that binds Buzz Kull hits from the past with these ten new cuts: a thread of darkness proper to the most handsome man in the game and that’s here to stay.
First single "Rise From Your Grave", a phrase gleaned from the 1998 SEGA game, Altered Beast, is a throbbing, thoroughly danceable song underpinned by a sepulchral fog.
Echoes of 90’s era Front 242 and Front Line Assembly will resonate from tracks like Fascination and Dead Inside; elements of early body music flirting with the dark side of British synthpop will rave from the grooves of Dancing with Machines and Man on the Beat, while late 80’s Belgian new beat cellar-like vibes rise from Do You See and Burn it to the Ground.
But Buzz Kull's third full-length is not just about music subgenres we all know and love, it’s about a feeling that comes alive only with the dark and drives you through the small hours just to leave you drained and filled at once.
The creature of the night is on the loose, the sticky dancefloor its natural habitat, its lust for the upside-down world of the club can't be cured.
Check out the album's tracklist and listen to "Rise From Your Grave" below.
Fascination Tracklisting:
1. Rise From Your Grave
2. Do You See
3. Last In The Club
4. Man On The Beat
5. Beyond The Ceiling
6. Fascination
7. Dead Inside
8. Dancing With Machines

Trentemøller Air New Single "Into The Silence feat. DíSA"
Danish indie/electronic music composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Trentemøller has aired his new single "Into The Silence" featuring singer DíSA.
With the new album 'Memoria' (released earlier this year) under his belt and right in time for the second leg of his album tour, Trentemøller releases a brand new song - Into The Silence.
The new work fits seamless into the musical universe of Memoria and presents us with a wonderful, dreamy, guitar and synth driven Indie-song.
Into The Silence is also the first cooperation with DíSA (Disa Jakobs), the singer of the all new Trentemøller band on the Memoria tour. Her vocals are perfectly woven into the song, sometimes floating above and sometimes shining through from the engine room.
"During our recent tour," says Trentemøller, "Disa and I spoke about doing a song together. It felt quite obvious as we really developed a common language when we played so many concerts together already. After finishing our first leg of the tour, I immediately went to the studio and wrote the music for this song. It really came to me easily as I felt quite inspired. Disa then wrote this beautiful and bittersweet text that compliments the music so well I think. And her unique voice just melts into the music in a very natural way."

Floral Image Unveil Live Video For New Single "El Topo"
Norwich, UK psych-indie-electronica-rock five-piece Floral Image have unveiled a live video for their new single "El Topo".
The recorded version will be out on 9th September through Catch 21 Records. With their 3rd single, Floral Image have revealed their most explorative recording yet. El Topo, named after Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cult cinema classic, aims to place you on an epic audial journey through an imagined technicolour landscape that Jodorowsky himself would be proud of producing. Ever mutating, El Topo takes you higher with its pounding Psych-Rock whilst also bringing you back down to earth with passages of awe inspiring ambient soundscapes.
A thumping crowd favourite at their already raucous live shows, El Topo stretches across your ears like a meandering psychedelic river. The single is accompanied by a live session video where you see the band demonstrating their tasteful knack of incorporating both the heavy and the intriguingly mysterious for their Jodorowsky inspired stomper. The Norwich 4 piece have many tricks up their sleeve…Who wants more?
The video was recorded at the St. Martin-at-Oak Church, Norwich, Norfolk in 2022. Watch below.

Dentist Air New Single "New Dress"
New Jersey surf punk/indie rock/lo-fi band Dentist have aired their new single "New Dress".
The song is taken from their new album 'Making A Scene', out today (September 2) through Cleopatra Records. Buy it here.
Making A Scene is easily this trio’s most accomplished, catchy and engaging album to date, filled with surf-inspired guitar lines, emotive vocals and pounding drums!
“‘New Dress’ is about trying hard to reach goals, but then wondering what’s the point?” explains the band’s bassist/vocalist Emily Bornemann “The narrator is definitely a nihilist, but also believes that no matter how hard they try, it will never be good enough. Musically, we wanted the song to feel like a punk rock version of ‘Dancing in the Dark.'”

Virgins Release New Single/Video "Signalling"
Belfast shoegaze duo Virgins have released the video for their new single "Signalling".
The song is taken from their upcoming debut EP ‘Transmit A Little Heaven’, which will be released by Blowtorch Records on October 14th.
Opening with swathes of choral shimmering reverb and an ethereal haunting vocal, this initial dreamy intro gives way to a grungier riff that wouldn’t be out of place on any 90’s Sub Pop record. Virgins alchemy comes in marrying these juxtaposing elements together to create a sound that in equal parts wraps you in clouds of ambient washed out reverbs while simultaneously keeping your head nodding along with fuzzed out guitars and hammering drums.
Lyrically ‘Signalling’ is a wanton cry for more, of trying to fill an unending void and the frustrations found within that insatiable desire. This coupled with the impending inevitability that there is a permanent and definitive end for everything and the knowledge that this will come unsatiated. This against a layered back drop of dense and beautiful guitars that are drenched in fuzz and reverbs, dovetailing between creating a dense melting wall of sound to beautiful shimmering passages. The vocals are a whisper in your ear from a long forgotten ghost laden with regret, melancholia and a desire to return to a more innocent time.
