From the track's familiar opening sounds of someone flipping a cassette and sliding it back into the tape deck, you already know you're in for a wave of instant nostalgia, and Terry vs...

Dublin's Maria Somerville just dropped her beautifully hypnotic and spectral new album All My People, which we described earlier this month as "gorgeous, hazy, distant-but-intimate dream pop that at times recalls a more bucolic Grouper".

Malmö, Sweden group Death and Vanilla share the haunted opening track from their forthcoming LP Are You A Dreamer?, premiering here today with our highest recommendation for fans of Mazzy Star, Broadcast, and Twin Peaks.

"I wanted to make you feel as hollow as I felt, I wanted to make you feel as sorry as hell", sighs a heartbroken Brooke Singer, her dreamy voice softening the cutting lament with a serene, wintry wistfulness for th

Saguenay, Quebec's Josianne Boivin aka MUNYA continues to regale us with her endlessly charming and dreamy "new synth folk" on "If I'm Gone Tomorrow (It's Because of Aliens)", her first release sung in English. The song's title was inspired by Josie's lifelong fear of aliens -- “Independence Day really messed me up as a child,” she says -- and it's a disarmingly sweet breakup s

Saguenay, Quebec's Josianne Boivin, aka MUNYA, follows up her absolutely perfect North Hatley mini-EP with another, perhaps even more enchanting 3-song EP, coming very soon on Luminelle Recordings.
