SONG PICK: Split Screens - Need From Me

“Need From Me” sounds as if Jesse Cafiero, the multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter behind the recording project Split Screens, was taking cues from a crystal-clear mountain brook, rippling in the early morning sun, when composing this gorgeous track. The song flows and swells and intensifies over time, never loosing its

The question begs asking: What has Glasgow-based duo Morning Midnight done until recently, when “Ancoats Junctions” marks ‘only’ their debut single?

SONG PICK: Aïsha Devi - Uupar Theory

The feel of being thrown away into a different, futuristic world does not necessarily require an expensive VR headset. Put “Uupar Theory” on headphones and you have a similar effect. The electronic musician Aïsha Devi accomplishes this beautifully with fantastic, unsettling soundscapes with distorted synth and robotic vocals. Appetite for

Take the debut single by Nikita Bassi at face value because as the title suggests, “Satin” is as smooth and sleek and utterly beautiful like the fabric. The London-based singer/songwriter has lived all her life in the U.K. yet likes to take influences from her Punjabi-Indian roots and

“Negative Space,” the title track of the new EP by NYC-based producer and singer Kyosi takes into its very own world. The piano and her voice want to make you comfortable, but then there is slowly something else breaking through that is raw and unsettling. Again, Dani DiCiaccio, the artist

SONG PICK: Chelsea Wolfe - The Mother Road

The Californian singer/songwriter Chelsea Wolfe is a master of dark, unsettling pop music for the last decade. Her latest song “The Mother Road,” an hommage to Route 66 is no exception, although it has deliberating feel to it: while the song starts slowly, it adds more and more layers

SONG PICK: HUNGER - Light It Up

“Light It Up” is an anthemic, joyful classic of the sort I was afraid they would not get made anymore. It is not often that I come across a band from Austria and a three-piece nonetheless (time to revive my #3IsABand column!) and I am excited that HUNGER had landed

We don’t know much about producer Saint Taint but we have been long-time fans of Mïrändä who they teamed up with for “I Got Lies”. She lends a summerly playfulness to the song about our on- and offline lives, while the production alternately reflects the shiny and the ugly
