A kaleidoscope of styles and influences from hiphop to pop to world folk. So good!

Blood Incantation - Timewave Zero

Death Metal band who usually write songs about wars with alien races on distant volcanic planets make an ambient album and it sounds like the soundtrack they’d listen to on some Nostromo sized spaceship while travelling to volcanic planet to fight aliens.

I cant get enough of it.

Flamboyant pop in the vein of associates, Wild Beasts, Bowie, Sparks, early Franz ferdinand… but also influenced by modern electronic artists like SOPHIE, Arca and the like.

The most addictive album I’ve heard in years.

Such a fun and unique record. Top 5 contender at the end of the year, no question.

Arcas - Arcas

“Influenced by artists such as Heretoir, Alcest, Der Weg Einer Freiheit, Veldes and Kauan, the intention of Arcas‘ music is to allow the listener to drift away, experience beautiful landscapes and embark on an emotional journey while listening. To that end the songwriting centers around the contrast of fast and heavy Black Metal parts on the one hand and soft and mellow clean parts on the other.”
