SONG PICK: Fifi Rong - The One

“The One” is the third of a series of singles by London singer/producer Fifi Rong. The track deviates somewhat from the classic synth pop textures of her previous releases, but according to Fifi, this is all part of the plan: Whereas a lot of my songs/productions represent only

SONG PICK: VOKES - Screens

How we are dealing with the possibilities of digital media or better yet how we are still at loss how to use new technologies properly seems to occupy many songwriters’ minds. With “Screens” there is another great track to be added to the ever-growing catalog. It is also the new

SONG PICK: Chaos Chaos - Dripping With Fire (Video)

Chaos Chaos is finally back with new music. The two sisters Asy and Chloé Saavedra have captured us with their gripping live show multiple times, but there hasn’t been a new song in quite a while. The wait was worth it: “Dripping With Fire” is weird pop at its

Mondo.NYC Day Three Roundup: Dimpker Brothers, Adée, Late Guest to the Party, Mt. Wolf, Sleep Thieves, Letters To Nepal

For Friday, the Lower East Side was again packed with excellent music and we would have needed to divide ourselves into pieces to see everybody we would have liked to. But then we stayed mostly at The Delancey, our unofficial home base where most of our own showcases take place.

SONG PICK: FKL - Temporary

FKL, short for Funktionslust, a German word I was not aware of until now, is the duo of Sage Redman and Joe Gillick, who recently moved to Seattle from London. Their new track “Temporary” is a meandering piece of electro-pop that touches many genres, but Is difficult to classify itself.

SONG PICK: GREAT NEWS - Never Get My Love

“Never Get My Love” might very well be one of the most exciting and totally awesome songs I heard all year! Norwegian three-piece Great News has been on our radar with their previous single “Wonderfault” already but with “Never Get My Love” they make us want to listen to their

Negative Gemini is back! As she hinted on social media, she has found use for a guitar again and departed somewhat from her dance-focused music of her last year’s debut LP “Body Works”. “You Weren’t There Anymore” is an excellent piece of weird pop, which layers synths over

What is it that makes vintage videos looks so comforting? Probably it suggests a better time, with, in hindsight, fewer worries and problems.

SONG PICK: WHITE ROOM - Cable-Built Dreamland

At a time when even presidents feel compelled to express themselves on social media, it does not come as a surprise that these platforms come under greater scrutiny and artists put their own take on things. “Cable-Built Dreamland” however is an especially gorgeous example of going to town with all
