“REPLACED BY ROBOTS RETURN WITH - THE HUMAN TOUCH - THESE ARE LOVE SONGS”
Riding the new wave: NYC synthpop duo The Mystic Underground turn up the tempo and ferocity on We Could Be Fugitives, a clarion call to "take your lover by the hand and run" from monotony — already a live staple and dance floor weapon. Song for a Gorgeous Blonde delivers the heavily orchestrated Avlägsna förmögenheter, peering into distant fortunes with equal hopefulness and dread. Replaced By Robots bring guitar-driven rock with post-punk energy and electronic twists that feel "simultaneously familiar, futuristic, and slightly wrong." Montreal's Glass Dolls offer bedroom pop-inflected post-punk meditations on love, loss, and grief on Old Friend.
“Described by one youtube connoisseur as CIA torture music, but I'm pretty sure they're wrong.”
“Melbourne-based synth-pop/new wave debut single from Modern Ideas, the solo project of Wilding's Justin Stokes. RIYL: Depeche Mode, New Order, Pet Shop Boys”
“Sneak preview of our next album, this song blends lofi post(egg)punk energy with dark janglepop vibes to weave a tale of redemption on life's empty highway.”
“The title means Distant Fortunes, and this heavily orchestrated track envisions both the hopefulness and trepidation of peering too far into the future.”
“Nostalgic dreamy scene in a world of love and growth on why are we exist in the first place”
“This EP includes PRSongsmith's smash hit song 'Frog Sex Party.' Isn't that enough? ❤️🐸❤️”
