Carrousel – August 5th
On first glance ‘August 5th’ from Los Angeles based pop outfit Carrousel, sounds like your run of the mill, smooth and sensual pop track. But it quickly becomes clear it’s more than that. ‘August 5th’ pushes and pulls you between varying emotional states. From euphoric moments, where an RnB tinged melody drops to the darker more downtempo moments, the track works in part thanks to the feisty vocals bringing it all together.
Pompeya – Pasadena
New track from a group we’ve not heard from in a long time (This long infact). Pompeya the Moscow three-piece are back with their unique mix of new wave tinged electro pop. ‘Pasadena’ is taken from the groups upcoming album ‘Real’ which is out May 5th.
Maiians – Sionara
New hypnotic track from Maiians, a five-piece electronica band from Oxford. ‘Sionara’ is a rollercoaster of an aural delights. Breaking in with it’s gentle and mellow intro which eventually gives way to the tracks high energy outro. Melding rhythmic percussion, with a melody which builds and builds into a cacophony of synths, and electro fragments, giving way to raucous drum heavy climax. ‘Sionara’ is out now.
