Watch: Geotic Premieres Music Video For New Single "Gondolier"

Los Angeles electronic/ambient artist Geotic (aka Baths' Will Wiesenfeld side-project) has premiered the video for his catchy new single "Gondolier".

The song is taken from the upcoming album 'Traversa', out October 19. Pre-order your copy here.

"Gondolier" explores the concept of misunderstandings within a relationship, that can lead to jarring ends. As with the remainder of the album, Wiesenfeld is singing on "Gondolier" about the relationship of travel and adventure as something occasionally isolating, while maintaining a sense of exploration within those feelings of loneliness. Sonically, it boasts a simple, repetitive melody to nautically themed lyrics referencing boats, docks, and lighttowers, like what happens when ships pass in the night with no awareness of each other. Those lyrics build tension with each new verse: "I caught you where the boats get tied/ Off to live a different live/ I knew, I felt myself get angry," Wiesenfeld sings, accusatory and betrayed in one verse, before growing sadder and more internal in the next: "I caught you where the boats sail off/ Like you tied me to the dock/ I fold, I felt the world desert me."

The video was directed by Will Wiesenfeld, Mario Luna and Shannon Pollak.. Watch it below.

New Entry: Loma Drop New Single "Relay Runner"

TX/NYC new project Loma, comprised of Jonathan Meiburg, best known as the singer of Shearwater, and Emily Cross and Dan Duszynski of Cross Record, have their new single "Relay Runner".

The song is taken from their upcoming self-titled debut album, set to arrive on February 16th via Sub Pop. Pre-order your copy here.

About the track, Jonathan Meiburg said: "’Relay Runner’ was the happiest accident on the record. We discovered it when we wired up a tremolo pedal the wrong way, and got this funny, stuttering loop – and then we built a whole song around that sound. The last thing we did in the mix was erase the loop, which had gone from inspiring the song to ruining it! But it made sense that what was left underneath was a song about how to escape from a sealed room."

Paper Dollhouse Announce New Album 'Aeonflower', Air Video For 'Helios'

London-based  minimal  ambient, electronic outfit Paper Dollhouse have announced they will release their sophomore album 'Aeonflower' on March 2nd via Night School/ Bird Records. 

Paper Dollhouse, an exploration of warped, dream-like atmosphere and taught, noise-ingrained electronics, has evolved from the solo work of Astrud Steehouder into an expansive, cinematic project now with the collaboration of visual artist Nina Bosnic. 

Recorded with a stronger focus on electronic processes and with a deeper, light-starved aesthetic, Aeonflower's emboldened use of crushed-noise dynamics takes the duo's debut 'A Box Painted Black' (released by Bird/Finders Keepers in 2011) frame into darker, murkier and more thrilling territory.

Check out the video for the album's first single, "Helios", below. It was directed by Patrick Stein.
