WhistleJacket


WhistleJacket is some band or dude from London making beautiful droney shoegaze inspired sounds all minimal and rudimentary, full of psychedelia and guitar loving wonder. Post punk lost beneath a wave of reverb and warm muffled joy.

The Loom - In Your Doldrums

URRRGH


I wrote about URRRGH in January of this year, and having revisited his Soundcloud I see there are a whole lot of new tracks up, really good, really mellow minimal barely there RnB ambient stuff, slow low and ponderous and damn beautiful. Pop melodies creeping out of confidently restrained beats and soundscapes, feeling somehow scandivain in a Fever Ray styley. The track Encarta is especially killer. Lots of the tracks on his Soundcloud are free to download so grab them.

Mohn - Ambientot

Woodpecker Wooliams - Gull video

Dux Content


Discordant 8 bit free jazz rave sounds from Dux Content, this feels like two opposing early 90's computer games got mashed together over someone improvising on a keyboard, but yet it still sounds good. A tough one. There are a few free downloads to be had from their Soundcloud go check it all out here.

NSFW - Kincy Orties | Bruno (Cover Doc Gyneco "Vanessa")




New video and more erotic French rap from Orties.

VV Ξ H Λ V Ξ P Λ Я † Y @ H Λ U N † Ξ D P L Λ C Ξ S


BLACK RAINBOVV has been around since the beginning of Witch House way back when, coining a mysterious catchphrase of "VV Ξ H Λ V Ξ P Λ Я † Y @ H Λ U N † Ξ D P L Λ C Ξ S " But BLACK RAINBOVV has always been making a slowed down and sampled up goth rave sound all of his own, part RnB, part Disco, part end of the world. Totally brilliant unique and genius in its remixing. So finally there is a full collected version of his tracks all up on Bandcamp and they're free to download. 

FEEL THE DRIP by PrismViews

PrismViews full length album.. "Feel The Drip" is a multi genre pillaging record taking all it needs and wants from Witch  House, post trance, 8 bit, shoe-gaze, lo-fi electronica and essentially electroclash.. its ecclesiasticism and free form sound combines to great effect though and as a full body of work becomes a great sounding album. Stand out tracks below. Download for free from Bandcamp.

Unoknwn


Describing music with genre-specific terms is fraught with difficulty and pitfalls that people are all to willing to jump all over you for, so sometimes its hard to describe a genre or a sound an artist is making other than to say it fucking slays.. and Unoknwn fucking slays. I'm not going to label this sound other than to say its too current and way future. Blam, have it! 

Missetsu by Spf50


I've drunk a lot of coffee this morning and maybe I'm a bit spaced right now but this new track by the usually quite abrasive Spf5Ø is just the most dreamy glo-fi trance shit ever, its just the most celestial orbiting drifty happy ambience. So good. Free to download from the Soundcloud player below.

Serious Thugs- Link Ting (Other Girls)

Ellie Herring - Mend The Angle - EP


Ellie Herring has a new EP out called Mend The Angle.. it very good, so very very good. I spent this morning listening to that Will.i.am and Britney single a bit too much and then went over to listen to this EP and the production is just seamless, so well done and so ahead of some imagined curve, brilliant. Slow rave hip hop with a real pop dance vibe. Track two is especially ace. Th EP is all available to download for free from the Soundcloud player below. Blam!

God Mode...


I swear this dude used to make Witch House.. now a fully fledged Trap exponent God Mode or G̖̳̞̬͇̼̫̯͖͖̓̍͛ͮ͠͞Ö̡͙͓̞͔́̇ͩ͊̈̄̊͋̊̅͢͡͝D̴̴͕̥͎͓̱̘̟̼͙̩̘̺͎͎̜͔̝̩̎̋͊͑ͬͪͥͫͭ Mͯ̔̌̂ͦ͏̷̵̢͚̦͙͈͈͙͜Ö̡͎̰͔̣͔͓́ͯ͊͛̒̈ͮͥͪ́̚̕͝Ḓ̸̡̨̙̱̹̱͙̪͓̿̈́ͬͩE̓͂̊̈̌ͣ̑̉̕̕͞͏̳̹̝͍̜͚̖̭̬̠̙   has only three tracks up on Soundcloud but they are all pretty excellent nasty heavy things and free to download as well.

ENIX INRI

РΣ▲ϾΣ ⱧΣȊL


РΣ▲ϾΣ ⱧΣȊL★ is one Andrew Cocain from New Zealand, making drag and screwed hip-hopa dn with house style tracks, remixes and re-edits, all doped up and blissfully tempo reduced into a cacophony of echo and delay washing up and out into blissed out chillwave sounds and seapunk intonations.

Kilo Kish

Phantom Forest EP by Pang Attack


Pang Attack is the band and when the guitar hits on that first track of their Phantom Forest EP, you will find it hard not to fall in love with this sound, then as the singular piano notes chime and the vocals arrive it just cements it all so much more. Melodic and beautiful, harmonies and electronica blending with instruments and ambience. Properly good. Its free to download from Bandcamp and you would be a fool to let it slip by.

Hollow Press


Ambient soundscape, noise and drone from Hollow Press and their new LP "Between Us" out on the Drug Arts label. Its good, you should go download it for $3 here. Oh and the album cover looks like fisting....

Elliphant - Down On Life video

டாண்டலாஸ்o


Tumblr couture beats and deep emotionally rich synth moods conjoined in horror stroking and lapping at each other with gay abandon. Essentially its just one long wicked riff, smoothly dirging along through the 3 minutes 44 seconds, creating a droning majestic wonder of a track that you can download for free from டாண்டலாஸ்o aka Frank A Mente's Soundcloud.

Polysick_Daydream


Rome's Polysick throws out another groove driven riff on night passing eternities, journeying into a shuffling house beat forever darkening beneath vaulted caverns blurred by a haze of smoke and distant disco lights. Eternity in subterranean nightclubs calling out into the void. Blam.

GPSYMTH - Ripostes


Spring rain sunshine glittering into existence down cold grey walls of winter flats with central heating rumbling away fighting out the cold and wind, like rainbows of light prism thrown and ethereal spluttering with joy into every corner of the darkening room, like that only with more gusto and summer promise, Chillwaves never die, retro synths and choral effects never lie, welcome back to the summer. 

If for only 45 minutes or so, until the glistening strains of GPSYMTH echo from the room and winter returns to stalk you. Ripostes, out three months ago is a 9 track wonder by 20 year old Peter Quinn aka GPSYMTH. It can be downloaded for a small amount of money at his Bandcamp.

But I haven't left you for good here we are agian wiyh a whole slew of great music starting with the awesome Mushy and her track I Dont Care, an epicly doom laden dirge of orchestral spiritualised vocal intoning, copy and repeat into one long beautiful  anthemmic goth gospel. So good, too good. Download it for free from the Mishka Soundcloud now.

This is good, not heard of this guy before but its good. Window is a producer from Montreal and this EP "Strands" is a perfect blend on 90s rave, tumblr led meme dance all breakbeat, into Seapunk water falls and slow mood dance-offs, building rising and letting loose with epic goth RnB vibes and all that.

NO TASTE


This is what this blog is for, coming across artists like this who are on nobody's radar but are better than half the shit out there.

Nu Brand Flexxx - "Chillin 'N' Billin" ft Darq E Freaker & Boyadee

Raindeer


Raindeer extol that sort of indie that MGMT nailed down and was started by The Flaming Lips, that Arcade Fire and Yeasayer explored all imagined by Fleetwood Mac way back when. It's a sound that lilts beautiful promises across the morning dew soaked air, telling tales of lives un-fuddled by money worries, age or reality, a dreamlike adventure in primal emotion and wonder, astral projections of musical exuberance somehow filtering through to reality. And they have an album you can download for free!

2forJoy - Tom Waits cover.

Summer of Hate by ELIJAAH


Saw toothed post trance sounding but meaty with it, strains of Salem filtered through sexualised seapunk vibes back into filthy dirt synths and slow ravey groin grinding times, imagine slo-mo strippers riding seedy unwashed poles in strip bars in the ass end of nowhere with euro dance djs dripping grease and coke sweat into the decks, eternal trashy night that ends in crystal meth and selling your kidney to a rich Russian businessman who smells of cigars and tar, forever and ever and avatar, amen/ramen.

Cassida Pax


Another great lo-fi Dream Pop/Surf sounding guitar band, Cassida Pax. This EP "Sin By Proxy" is a minimal guitar, vocal and minmal percussion thing that sounds very much like it was recorded on 4 track tape in someone's cold damp basement flat in 1987. Beautiful, sad and understated. Despite its mournful "just broke up with my girlfriend and wondering the cemetery drinking cold tea" kind of feel its produced by someone living out in sunny as fuck California. Download the EP from Bandcamp now.
