2. ‘The End Of The Contender’ by EVERYTHING EVERYTHING

The fab synth-pop act from Manchester, dropped the news a few weeks ago of

Ahead of it, you already can dance to this effervescent tune.

3. ‘On The Road’ by BAD RITUAL

Bad Ritual is a Polish trio formed at the beginning of 2020 by three architects.
They play songs immersed in a dark and unsettling atmosphere. Their music is
a blend of indie-folk, swampy blues, and rock ‘n’ roll. It often evokes associations
with David Lynch‘s films, spaghetti westerns, and film noir.

They just released their arresting self-titled debut album. Stream it here.

Standout track On The Road gets you in Bad Ritual‘s sonic/cinematic world. It’s melancholic timbre and shiny guitar sparks, make me think of romantic glam legend Chris Isaak. Bad Ritual‘s idol David Lynch directed Isaak‘s Wicked Game video that featured flashes from
his 1990 Wild At Heart movie).

Press play, get puzzled.

4. ‘Stars Spangling’ by LATO

Lato is a three-piece act from Italy that brings together different influences blending them into an original form of rock. Vocals, guitars and rhythm section carefully entwine with a touch of electronica, and ethnic vibes go hand in hand with a natural propensity for psychedelia.

Stars Spangling is a piece from their new, upcoming album Karisma, out on 29 February.
It’s an impassioned guitar-pop gem. Arousing, transfixing, and anthemic. Top-tier score.

5. ‘Go On’ by THEY TRAVEL AT NIGHT

They Travel At Night – Lou Scanlon and Chuck Howard– want to be in the business of creating moments in music. That noise you weren’t expecting, that dynamic buildup, that blissful transition, that moment of discomfort before things even out again.

They have a brand new 5-track EP out, named Entropy.

Opening track Go On sets the tone for a 16-minute sonic mind massage.

A Tribute To Talking Heads is on its way. It will feature artists such
as Blondshell, the Cavemen, girl in red, Jean Dawson, Kevin Abstract,

8. ‘Impetus’ by CEREMONY SHADOWS

Portland‘s dark-dance-wave trio say about their new single Impetus: “While creating this track, we all pushed our creative boundaries to write a song that reflects our desire to grow
as artists and people. This song encourages the listener to reflect inward. We hope to inspire ourselves and others to stop hiding. Stop waiting. Take one small step toward your goals, then another, and another. The time is NOW. Stop hiding your gifts. The world needs your passion.”

Impetus is a sensual mid-tempo electro tease that creeps under your skin
without asking. Seductive, flirtatious and tempting. Dim the light and move
in mysterious ways.

Right here.

9. ‘Little Me’ by PORNO FOR PYROS

Porno For Pyros was formed by Perry Farrell in 1992
after his other band Jane’s Addiction broke up (temporary).

Now Farrell calls it a day for PFP with a farewell tour and some new music.

New single Little Me is a psych stomper notable for its cutting riffage,
its towering chorus, and Farrell‘s distinctive, absorbing vocals.

Enjoy.

10. ‘Wild New Start’ by QUARRY

Quarry is the moniker of Vittorio Tolomeo, an Italian born-British adopted musician,
singer-songwriter. He has already 3 albums on his résumé. You can check them out on Spotify.

With his new 4-track EP Renaissance evokes strong feelings of new beginnings, healing, and the need to flee to a better (ideal) place. The multi-instrumentalist indie rock singer-songwriter masterfully combines guitar sounds—suggestive ambient and clattering distorted ones- with captivating pop hooks, thumping, tribal drums and running bass.

Wild New Start is the buzzing and fuzzing opener. Ty Segall is just around the corner.

Watch/listen.
