Drinker is the bi-coastal duo of Aaron Mendelsohn and Ariel Loh, who create elegant, reflective electronic pop songs. Their latest song “Something I Want” finds them in a more experimental mood with sparse beats and glitchy, 8-bit synths. The song is enjoyed best together with the artful video clip that[…]
Sunday morning breakfast, while listening to Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” which basically follows glamglare’s musical taste closely, one song stood out: “What is Thom Yorke doing in this mix?” Listening more intently, it became evident that these were female vocals but in the singing style Radiohead’s frontman is famous for. What[…]
Synth-pop is a vast genre and the endless possibilities one has these days with hard- and software invite to constant experimentation and invention. The second installment of our Three (or more) Albums series highlights three EPs which convey quite different vibes. Gwendolyn Dot – Mystic Responsibility Indianapolis-based producer Gwendolyn Dot[…]
“I was lost out at the sea and you were the waves crashing down on me.” That is love as the force of nature that binds two different people together. The calm and reflective dream folk song “Waves” is the new track by St. Louis-based duo Spectator of married couple[…]

On the heel of Henry Jamison’s upcoming album “Gloria Duplex” out on February 8 via Akira Records arrives the absolutely gorgeous “American Babes”, with distinct story telling, exquisite production and vocals to get lost in. As if this was not yet sufficient, “American Babes” also features a subtle at first but long-lasting serious catchiness. It[…]
“Conversations” the debut album by U.K. trio Woman’s Hour was one of my favorite albums in 2014. There was silence around the band since then and they actually broke up while working on their second album “Ephyra.” But fortunately they are back and the record is ready for release on[…]
Mid 80s and early 90s guitar driven post-punk never fully disappeared but it seems to pop up again more often, especially in New York as neo-psych duo Hanford Reach are proof.
