German indie-electro/cosmic pop duo COMA (aka Georg Conrad and Marius Bubat) have unveiled the video for their brand new single "Obviousm".
The song is out today (September 30). Get it here.
From the duo: “We wrote this 90s inspired song during the first Covid lockdown after our album tour was cancelled. It was the same time when we rediscovered Primal Scream’s album „Screamadelica“ after Andrew Weatherall passed away far too early in February 2020. We always loved music that is unclassifiable and this record is such a great combination of genres, we’d never deny it as an influence."
"Obviousm also is a search for meaningfulness in the stupidity of human behaviour. But we still couldn’t find out though. Just keep going!”.
Manchester-based indie electro/doom pop band The Slow Readers Club have dropped the video for their new single "Tell No Lies".
The song, co-produced by Steven Ansell of Blood Red Shoes and the band’s long-term collaborator, Phil Bulleyment, is out today (September 10) via Modern Sky UK. Grab your copy here.
Lead singer Aaron Starkie says: “The song is about music’s ability to transport you somewhere else and take away your anxieties for three minutes or so. Lyrically it’s a bit of a conscious departure from our more introspective, existential, doom-laden stuff that we are known for. Feels like the world needs upbeat tunes now, as real life has been bleak enough.”
From the duo: “This song is about challenges given by mood swings, about rituals, prevention and the soothing effect of starting (all over) again. The song was originally planned as a bonus single alongside our spring tour and festival summer, that both never happened. Yet we also think the song fits quite well to the beginning of a new year where maybe things can only get better. So with this track, we hope to transmit some good karma for a better 2021 and we both wish you a happy new year. Spread love and hope!”.

The 11-track record, marks a significant change in the band's process, with their extensive touring allowing them time to write and develop tracks and arrangements through soundchecks and back-of-van jams.
"I think it's definitely our most interesting and accomplished record musically," says singer Aaron Starkie. "Lyrically the album covers love, alienation, the rise of right wing populism and comments on algorithm driven propaganda. And as always, I try to deliver those lyrics with uplifting melody."
