It’s that time of the year again — when I’m off working on big things, leaving you with quick takes. Even so, these releases are great and deserve your attention.
John Bergin – ‘A Spell For Breaking An Opening Into The Sky’
Is there anything this guy can’t do? This remix and remaster of his 2001 EP is great for repeat-listens. Lyrics from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
Tess Roby – ‘Ballad 5’
That arrangement. My heart be still. Vinyl here.
Sferro – All Things Converge
In which Mr. Sferro thankfully destroys the dogmatic confines of synthwave.
Drinker – ‘Fake It’
Hauntingly brilliant pop from Aaron Mendelsohn and Ariel Loh, who created the haunting score for The Eyes of My Mother.
Emil Rottmayer – ‘W.A.V.E.’
Warm, comforting, and danceable as hell.
SaiR – ‘Potion’
Porto, Portugal synth-funk from one of Omega Supreme’s finest.
Man, Woman, Friend, Computer – ‘Exordium/Outgrown’
Awesome Yuliya Tsukerman-made video and excellent song.
Acidulé – ‘La Vie La Nuit’
Tommy ’86 by any other name is still Tommy ’86.
