Synthesizers crackle and pulse with dark intent: SOFT RIOT's Crux channels early '80s DIY synth spirit into a strategic balance of space, rhythm, and mild psychedelia — think Fad Gadget meets early Simple Minds with a Ballardian twist. The Mystic Underground's We Could Be Fugitives turns up the tempo to maximum dancefloor ferocity, a clarion call to "take your lover by the hand and run." Chris of Wilderness' Weeks Like Worms dives deeper into sonically dense electronics and paranoid panopticon lyricism, built in two raw takes with sampled guitars and xylophone. Glass Dolls' Old Friend offers Montreal bedroom pop-post punk about love, loss, and grief, while Pete Rafle, Songsmith's Let's Pretend! rounds things out with full-band charm — and yes, a song called "Frog Sex Party."
