Feels like we've been waiting for this one to drop forever (we've certainly talked about it enough over the past year), and now it's finally here: Body Work, the entrancing and often thrilling future-pop-dream-rave hybrid debut LP from Lindsey French -- aka Negative Gemini -- is officially out next week on 100% Electronica...
Katie Gately shares another stunning single from her new album Color, out next month on TriAngle. She describes the frenetic, album-opening "Lift" as "every childish sonic instinct I've ever had combined"...
Montreal's Vesuvio Solo are set to follow up their their excellent 2014 release Favors with one of the best under-the-radar records left to be released in 2016. Don't Leave Me In The Dark drops later this month, and it's a smooth and seductive collection of sophisticated, elegantly bent modern pop jams (with the ideal amount of sax and flute, btw) that sound just as dope today as they would have emanating from your FM dial in 1982...
Taken from Kiki Hitomi's wonderful new solo debut LP Karma No Kusari, a vivid and haunting collection of "Japanese enka, 8-bit psychedelica and mutated digi dub" out now on Jahtari:
NOIA is the enchanting solo project of Brooklyn-via-Barcelona artist Gisela Fulla-Silvestre, whose immersive debut EP is out this fall on Cascine -- incidentally, she was actually introduced to the label by one of our favorite directors, Allie Avital -- and today, we're psyched to debut the record's magical lead single...
We fell in love with the music of Lindsey French, aka Negative Gemini, through her dance-pop gems "Forget Your Future" (taken from last year's stellar Real Virtual Unison EP), "You Never Knew" + "Don't Worry Bout the Fuck I'm Doin", all gorgeous, ethereal tracks that highlighted French's dreamy melodic sensibility and an uncanny, almost Grimes-esque feel for pop songcraft...
With new albums from Vince Staples, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Young Thug all coming in the same day, it'd be easy for an eclectic collection of emotional and transportive dance music from a little-known Swedish producer to get lost in the shuffle...
I feel like the average pop star dreams of writing one song as good as Carly Rae Jepsen's b-sides. One highlight: the early Madonna vibes are so strong on "First Time", which was first released on the Japan-only E•MO•TION REMIXED + that dropped earlier this year...
