Hamburg duo Adana Twins are just about to release their new EP, Distant Dream (tomorrow, April 21), a three-track collaboration with French-born producer Darlyn Vlys. Ahead of the full release, they’re today priming fans with the title track, a moody, pulsing synth-pop collab with Kraków Loves Adana, a pair also from Hamburg. The Twins spent their formative […]

As should have been expected, there were indeed some crash-spurred frustrations in the wake of Stranger Things dropping the conclusion of its fourth season, albeit briefly. As Variety pointed out in an overnight report, self-reported instances of Netflix being down for some users saw a peak at roughly 3 a.m. ET, which coincides with the […]

Canadian-born, London-based producer, songwriter and vocalist Chloé Raunet aka C.A.R. (who also happens to be the former lead singer of now-defunct band Battant) is just about ready to release her third solo album, Crossing Prior Street, which is due March 27. In the meantime, she’s just shared the LP’s second single, following the release of “Pressure […]

In a few months time (November 22, to be exact), LA queer-pop duo TWINKIDS, aka Gene Fukui and Matt Young, will release their second EP, Lizard House, and with that news comes the EP’s lead single, “Eighteen”.

The original was a warped but infectious piece of synth pop centred around delicate vocals and fragile synths. Carroll’s remix flips things somewhat, placing the focus on the […]

After a brief step back from music, London-based artist Oscar Scheller is back with “Interstellar Disco”, a big, bold and bouncy pop number brimming with disco grooves and synth pop melodies. Listen a little closer though, and you’ll hear the track’s a lot more bittersweet than you might have thought. If you’ve ever needed a safe […]

It might be the shortest month of the year, but February is already a strong contender for 2019’s wildest. We got the Grammys and the Oscars, and with them endless talk of the Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper friendship, some long-overdue recognition for Spike Lee, and the continued reigns of Cardi B, Drake, and Kacey Musgraves—yeehaw! News-wise, […]

New year, same music industry, dropping albums at midnight every Thursday, because fuck our bedtimes! Thankfully, 2019 is already off to an incredible start, and not just because of that egg that broke Kylie Jenner‘s Instagram record. In times like these (negative temperatures, political turmoil, etc.), a solid album can serve as the perfect distraction—or […]
