German Error Message • What Welcoming / Hand Comes Down • 2019
Two songs written and recorded in fall 2016, returned to and released in fall 2019.
various • F.A.R. OUT • 2019
F.A.R. OUT is the 3rd compilation curated and released by Fadeawayradiate Records. This time we chose a late 60's sunshine pop theme: sunny tunes full of harmonies with a dab of psychedelic.
Unlike the forerunner comps that were cover comps, these are all originals! It's a wonderful eclectic bunch of international bands; from lofi indie champs to veterans of the scene...
Russian Baths • "Wrong" • 2019
“Sometimes a rock band exudes such swirly, Goth-tinged intensity, you’d swear you can actually hear the smoke machines and foreboding light.” ~ NPR Music
“…an ambient wash of artfully loud rock music, pushed and pulled by lulling vocals and echoing yet powerful riffs.” ~ Stereogum
"NYC-based Russian Baths blend ’90s influences like Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Archers of Loaf, Lungfish and more to create a cocktail that nods its head to classic indie, post-hardcore and feedback-riddled punk like Flipper all at once." ~ Brooklyn Vegan
"Russian Baths’ polished brand of psych rock is enveloping, swallowing its listener whole." ~ Paste Magazine
CROOK • my bf (kinda) • 2019
The song is out via Brooklyn-based indie label Sleep Well Records, also home to Charles Fauna and Cape Francis.

Monako • Town • 2019
hazy, French-tinged vocals with soft, jazzy percussions and glimmering synths, sounding like a mashup of Brad Stank, King Krule and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Having played over 60 headline shows throughout Europe and featuring on the new Vagabon album, Monako are now gearing up for a second EP to be released early next year, laced with dreamy soundscapes and intimate grooves.

Ro Bergman • All we are • 2019
“The video perfectly captures Bergman’s style of understated, melancholic pop.”
Rolling Stone India
“He’s not playing games, nor is he half-assing his music.”
Atwood Magazine
“It opens with a neat spacious arrangement that builds to a crunching finale.”
CLASH Magazine
“Buoyed by pulsating rhythmic cadences and stirring arena-ready guitars, Bergman displays his deep vocals here that waver on the brink of vulnerability.”
The 405
“Ro Bergman's musical path is a border crossing - subtle spun works combine lyrical depth with musical heights”.
Tonspion
“A calibre from this shot and grain has not existed in Austria for a long time.”
(VH-1, MTV)
“‘Clouds’ is an upbeat belter of a tune. A perfect atmospheric song to soundtrack summer nights.”

Prokofiev • Symphony No. 1, Op. 25 "Classical" • 2015
In 2012 we were given an exceptional musical gift: the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Valery Gergiev performed the complete cycle of Sergei Prokofiev’s symphonies and piano concerti - a composer with whom Maestro Gergiev and the orchestra seem particularly in tune.
G. Love • The Juice (ft. Marcus King) • 2019
G. Love (aka Garrett Dutton) is a masterful multi-instrumentalist with a wildly diverse set of influences, a knack for reinvention and a penchant for collaboration. The new album finds him teaming up with four-time Grammy winner Keb’ Mo’, and a slew of special guests including Robert Randolph, Marcus King and Roosevelt Collier, to create a unique sound that blends elements of blues, jazz, rock, funk and soul with hip-hop grooves and electronic beats.
GRAN NOIR • On And On • 2019
Despite the sombre theme of ‘On And On’, more than a spark of hope shimmers in wonderfully arranged guitar, violin and vocals. ‘On And On’ keeps its promise: Gran Noir didn't let themselves be pulled down, didn't give up, persevered, set the focus anew and have emerged stronger from this pivotal year.
Geoffroy • 1952 • 2019
The simmering blend of down-tempo electronica, chill-wave, and soul that courses through 1952 find Geoffroy taking from his debut, Coastline, and mining his craft further, digging a richer groove littered with hints of R&B and jazz, and growing more surefooted with his ambitions and ideas. Glittering electronics sparkle around the intimate piano of ‘Woke Up Late’, whereas ‘How You Feeling Now’ flirts with the bright lights of dance music and club culture, laying on a thick, pulsating disco throb and finding a sound not too dissimilar to heavyweights in the indie/dance crossover such as Hot Chip and Cut Copy. ‘Closer’ moves with an at times off-beat groove, jousting with varying time signatures and nosedives in tempo, sporting an outfit re-worn for ‘By The Water’, a slightly more relaxed affair but one that further evidences the limber steps forward that 1952 aims to take.
Diving At Dawn • Watercolour Serenade • 2019
Watercolour Serenade was one of the first songs that Pete and Jof Owen (the other half of The Boy Least Likely To) wrote together.
Jof wrote the words and Peter the music, igniting a creative partnership that has resonated around the world, lasting over 15 years and producing 5 albums. The song has remained unheard for so long because it was originally written for Peter to sing and never quite fitted into The Boy Least Likely To's distinctive oeuvre and style.
Pete decided to record it himself and make it the third release of his solo project Diving At Dawn, their debut album will be released at the beginning of 2020.
Watercolour Serenade is simple and uplifting, with a chorus made for a campfire sing along and beautiful lyrical imagery on the movement of the ocean and the impermanence of life, finally this long lost gem gets a chance to be heard.
Mïrändä • Formula • 2019
“'Formula' bounces and ripples thanks to the deft production, crafted by Mïrändä herself. The lithe sound pairs well with her wry and rhythmic lyricism, keeping the listener on their toes with her engaging wordplay.”
- The 405
"Her vocal effects take her from Jimmy Somerville to Bon Iver in consecutive songs - and by the end she’s got even industry types bopping along."
- DIY
"Her carefully crafted electronica is uplifting and unpretentious, with inventive drops and catchy choruses to match."
- The Deli
"With its lush and full sound, we bet you’ll be hooked."
- Pancakes & Whiskey

Acidhead • Distractions • 2019
Patrick McGee, aka Acidhead, has arrived with his debut single titled "Throw Away The Time." It's the lead track from his forthcoming debut project, Distractions, dropping November 15th via Veriditas Recordings. The track was entirely produced and arranged by Acidhead with 80’s synths and drums inspired by Late Registration-era Kanye.
“Your heart thrills me, mine can kill me” - A love infatuation turning into obsession/addiction, and among other things, distraction. Both parties recognizing a bad situation, disposing of their baggage and wiping the slate clean, having a clear mind after a traumatic experience. - Acidhead
Acidhead is the brainchild of Patrick McGee; saxophonist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, empath. Distractions is his introspective debut, a deconstruction of pop music delivered with auto-tuned vocals and distorted electronic beats. The album is equally influenced by 808s & Heartbreak, Travis Scott, and Stravinsky, blurring and blending lo-fi punk and trap with the tenderness of Aaron Copland. His deliberate fracturing and reassembling of classical beauty is delivered with lovelorn angst, resulting in a compelling, unique debut.
Beatific • Smile Dangerous • 2019
"Any fan of synth-pop will love this one," GroundSounds' Jake Craney raved in their review. "We’ve been jamming it non-stop."
Dan Edmonds • another try • 2019
The record's newest single – "Another Try" – is an impressionistic pop track with layers of pulsing synths and treated vocals, setting a bright and enigmatic tone for the album. It's a song about second chances that came to fruition after Edmonds rescued his dog from drowning.
sobhhï • abu / dhabi • 2019
sobhhï has established himself as one of the Middle East’s most promising emerging artists in the past couple years, racking up millions of streams as an entirely independent artist with his signature brand of alt-R&B dubbed “Trapsoul Nocturnal”.
