Bloodgroup - "Fall" [Video Premiere]

Icelandic foursome Bloodgroup cut icy melodies through the steam on their third record Tracing Echoes, released last month via Sugarcane Recordings. We heard the single "Disquiet" ahead of that release, and now the band returns with a new video for single "Fall", streaming exclusively in the U.S. with Earmilk. While "Disquiet" festered with a tension it never quite got to break, "Fall" delivers on the strands that feed its first moments. With its delicate vocals and gemmed synths, the track strikes closer to early...

Rhye - "Open" (S O H N Remix)

S O H N's career is really starting to take shape these past few months in the blogosphere and beyond. Known mostly for his Aesop release of The Wheel EP back in November 2012, this Vienna-based solo electronic act has taken on Rhye's "Open" that we so dearly adore. The sound can be imagined as both light and dark contained in the same space, as S O H N plays with our heart strings while somehow lightening our mood. This track released April 5 (only available on YouTube as of yet) features a sense of honesty,...

Baths - "Miasma Sky"

Upon announcing a follow up to his 2010 debut Cerulean, Will Wiesenfeld (aka Baths) has released "Miasma Sky"; an emotional and spirited ride through winding roads that shift in altitude as Will bends the pitch of the rhythm. The song moves between chord progressions, a technique that comes up...

Bloodgroup - "Disquiet"

Depeche Mode's shadow might reach far and wide, but their descendants keep finding ways to push gloomy synth-pop into darker, tighter corners. Icelandic quartet Bloodgroup rips up the mold first set in '80s Essex, stretching Depeche Mode tension without ever breaking into the kind of chorus that...
