TRACK-BY-TRACK
Band: MONOSCOPES
Who: Italian act started by Paolo Mioni, former member of Jennifer Gentle,
spearhead of the Italian psych scene. They released their debut album
Painkillers And Wine last year.
New single: HEY ATLAS
“It’s about an antidote to anxiety. Sometimes the complexity of life leads us to feel all
of the weight of the world on our shoulders, like the mythological character that gives
the song its title. But you can drop that weight, or you can at least try.”
Monoscopes draw you into their psychedelic world where surrender and hope are the only options to handle life. Hey Atlas sends shivers down your spine. It’s both a melancholic and harrowing jam bringing the mellow moments of Interpol to mind. It touches and moves heart and soul. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. That comforting given should inspire all of us who are confused and fidgety these days.
Press play.

Band: RIDE
Who: British veteran shoegazers
New single: PEACE SIGN
Their 7th LP, named Interplay, their first since 2019,
is set to be released on March 29.
Potent drums/bass determine the upbeat pace and whirling vibe of the track all the way.
Peace Sign is a sickly sticky pop earworm with an orgasmic chorus. Welcome back.

Band: MAINLAND BREAK
Who: Jangle Pop & Road Trip Rock from Denver
New single: PROMISES
A breakup song that searches for hope in separation. The song narrates the difficult journey
of deciding to end a relationship, from the initial realization to the actual conversation.”
This heart-rending, glowing pop piece confirms once again the cathartic power of music.
It’s a story of relationship problems embedded in a titillating tune. Enchanting.
Check in.

Band: WEST WICKHAMS
Who: Noir Deux Peace, Jon Othello and Elle Flores,
from the Scilly Isles, England
The duo is inspired by Mary Shelley, Whitby Abbey, Pipe Organs, Flowers, Polka Dot Cats,
Dark Punk, Gothic Novels and Rock n Roll Autobiographies, Castles, Abstract Painting,
Euphoria, Mist, Autumn, Halloween, Optical Illusions, Edgar Allan Poe and Andy Warhol.
New single: I AM SPARKLING CYANIDE Notable opening track from the tandem’s
brand-new debut album Vivre Sa Vie. Stream/buy it via Bandcamp right here.
Expect a darkwavish, drum/bass carried meditation with glinstening Curesque guitar
play and Television echoes, and the gloomy vocals creating a chilling atmosphere.
Magnetic stuff. I’m Sparking Cyanide is an intoxicating psych feat.

Band: CAPE SLEEP
Who: The new moniker of Dutch artist
Kim Janssen alongside his new band.
New single: I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND
Track from upcoming debut full-length ‘Video Days’.
“The song is a case in point, a would-be moving ballad if it were stripped of its dancey drum-plus-drum machine beat. It’s pre-chorus reminiscent of a 90s sitcom opening tune
or romcom closing credits song (in the best possible way), with the chorus’ bright synth chords and electric guitar notes giving a summer vibe, albeit a slightly poignant one, with Kim’s lyrics a confession to longing to be wanted in someone’s life.”
This bouncy and breey, uplifting pop piece transfers your thoughts to a utopian world where love, peace and friendship rule. Kim Janssen‘s longing and crystalline vocals have a mesmeric impact. This kind of wishing well tunes are always welcome on my headphones in these times of intolerance, war and bigotry.
Enjoy.

Band: M’GRASKER (Toronto)
Who: A coven of humanoid meat sacks forged in the Vats of Creation by Dr. Gorp. Their mission: to Rock. However, they are also permitted to Roll. Human terminology might define them as a “band,” however they would be more accurately described as Biological Property of M’Graskorp Unlimited Enterprises and Subsidiaries of the GlanGlan Group. I have no clue what this all means.
New single: KISS & SMOKE WEED
“An amorous and trippy song that pays homage to the twin pillars of human joy: a kiss,
the sweet interlocking of souls, and the goij, the herb that unravels the mind’s knotty woes. Imagine the harmonic convergence of lips meeting ‘twixt loving gazes and the effervescent dance of goij smoke waltzing through the air. Its intoxicating groove offers a kaleidoscopic sound, accompanied by a phantasmagoria of color and love.”
Freak Le Chic disco dynamics, Bee Gees like vocals and Saturday Nigh Fever vibrations combine for a get high experience. Effervescent tune that triggers your best dance moves.
Watch/listen.

Band: THE LEMONHEADS
Who: Songsmith Evan Dando‘s band
New single: SEVEN OUT
It’s Dando’s cover of a song by Scottish songwriter/friend
Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines fame.
Lazy pop gem with a country feel.
Beautiful.

Artist: NOANNE (Prague, CZ)
Who: An artist whose melodious tales paint vivid landscapes of raw emotions and unconventional perspectives. She weaves a mesmerizing tapestry of sound, drawing listeners into her realm of introspection and self-discovery.
New single: WHITE GLOVE
“White Glove” is an invitation to set aside the rational world and enter a space where emotions are raw and unfiltered, offering a rare opportunity to engage with music on a profoundly personal level and allowing it to become a part of your own emotional and sensory tapestry.”
The heroine of this rapturous ballad is Noanne‘s stirring voice that draws your aural attention all the way through. White Glove is a bittersweet symphony colored with subtle piano touches, soothing strings and some spooky backing vocals. Grand composition.
