Even if “Summertime” would not come with such a self-descriptive title, one would immediately think of all the good things a carefree, everything-is-possible period would feel like. “Summertime” is beautifully groovy with disco dance beats, smooth vocals and occasional soulful guitar elements. The single is the latest project of Sweetwood, the[…]
“Gravel Mouth” is one of those songs that make the time run slower when you put them on headphones: the sparse piano and guitar lines, the subtle beat and minimal electronics let Penelope Trappes’ voice lure you into some fantastic world in your mind. Penelope just released her debut album[…]

Minimalism and lo-fi vibe at its best! “The Clockwork Dance” by British trio VUKOVAR sounds as much early experimental, underground 80s as it sounds post-punk and then again timeless.
