London’s Ghost Car are preparing for an album release in October, and it’s shaping up to be a fun, punk caper. Their latest video, for “Selfish, Spoiled” is a hysterically gaudy satire. In fact, the more I watched it, the more sick I felt. I love the eat-the-rich philosophy, but honestly, if we let them ingest as many toxic and inedible things as in this … Continue reading Ghost Car – “Selfish, Spoiled”
I have to address the art first: I have never seen a more perfect image. It’s so colorful, yet muted by all the blues. The dolphins look so happy but I am unsettled by their three eyes—on one side. Do they even have eyes on the other side to balance? The style of the waves is incredible and creates so much movement in such a … Continue reading Anteloper – “Delfin Rosado”
I find comfort in these chords. “To Turn Into Water” has gorgeous sounds including the soft, sweet guitar melody and the exquisite falsetto moment in the bridge. Production whirs past vocals seemingly going the wrong direction, but they’re actually still intelligible…what a dreamy song.

Ghent-based Compro Oro use xylophones and guitars to comment on contemporary ways folks are digging for a new kind of gold. Band leader and composer Wim Segers created these new compositions often on piano or vibes in a more analogue way, leaving enough room for his band mates to colour each track when fine tuning the song. Segers was inspired by the world of crypto … Continue reading Compro Oro – “Bitcoins”
The groovy and silly red record, My Cheese Budget Is Growing, which is the debut for Quintessential, is excellent for many lyrical (and frankly theatrical) achievements as well as for the smooth beats provided by Eddou XL. “Playing Friends,” especially in context, goes unbelievably hard—and I can’t help but fixate on the openness of the final line of the chorus and song: “I made a … Continue reading Quintessential & Eddou XL – “Playing Friends”
Ho, Angelo; my dear, Angelo—is it within your power to take me away to a realm unfathomable for an experience that I cannot, at this moment, even imagine? Brijean | website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Bandcamp Continue reading Brijean – “Angelo”
