Near Death Experience (NDX) - Found (MR)
(04:19, Single, Digital, Charisma Bypass, 04/02/2022)
Catchy Rhythm and Blues, Alternative Rock and Soul are the sonic company for this lost-and-found tale. Near Death Experience (NDX) from London, England provide a powerful tribute to the life-saving power of love. Sensual verses describe the magical moment when eyes meet and time seems to stand still. The catchy chorus then musicks that following moment when dopamine flows through your body, and you have found your lost life again.
Love Ghost - Цепи (MR)
(03:04, Single, Digital, selfrelease, 27/01/2022)
For their new single 'Цепи' (Russian: 'Chains'), Love Ghost from Los Angeles, CA, USA have recruited guest vocalist Vollny. Together, they have created a massive powerload that builds up high tension and provides a gigantic discharge which feels like a huge chainlightning. With lyrics in both Russian and English language, Love Ghost and Vollny tell of traumatizing events and their shackling forces - anyways, this empowering song is about breaking loose from these chains and thus deliberating oneself. The energetic crossover of Trap, Hardcore Punk, and Industrial is the ideal soundtrack for that.
Elektric Animals - Come Clean (MR)
(02:54, Single, Digital, Third String Records, 28/01/2022)
'Come Clean' is the first single off the new EP "Channels" by Elektric Animals from Denver, CO, USA. This song deals with the eye-opening moment when you realize that someome you think you know has changed so much, the two of you have estranged from each other. It is the time you have to 'Come Clean' and re-arrange your new status. Energetic, boppy, and Blues-driven Indie Rock tells of both, the inner conflict you have when realizing your friend has become a different person, and the outside conflict between you and them. It is a theme we can all relate to, and it is a tune we can all dance to.
The Prickly Pair - Rosemary (MR)
(03:25, Single, Digital, Prickly Pair Productions, 25/02/2022)
Irene Greene and Mason Summit, two singers and songwriters from Los Angeles, CA, USA have joined forces, and together they are The Prickly Pair. With their debut single 'Rosemary', the duo delivers a thick and stunning tune made from Dark Folk, melancholic Americana, and a dynamic Blues twist. The first song off their upcoming EP is dedicated to Rosemary Kennedy, the woman is mostly forgotten as she was the mentally ill sister of Robert and John Fitzgerald. The Prickly Pair use their Angsty Americana to let 'Rosemary' step out of her brothers' shadows.
Shaven Primates - Child of Dirt (MR)
(59:59, Album, Digital, TAD Records, 26/11/2021)
Shaven Primates from English town Oxford let us dive deep into the realms of human emotions on their first album "Child of Dirt". The melancholic gloom of Post Punk meets theatralic psychedelia, and spooky Darkwave embraces intelligent Prog Rock song structures. Shaven Primates present an hour-long opus that masterfully combines catchy tunes and sophisticated songwriting: Nick Cave meets Beefheart and Jethro Tull. On this album, band leader Mark Elphinstone processes his own darkest and most traumatizing childhood experiencing. It is thus a deliberating and empowering work that has the potential to help listeners coping with similar experience or preventing it to happen again.
Enid - And I (MR)
(03:56, Single, Digital, selfrelease, 02/12/2021)
In mid-2021, vocalist Nawal and drummer Pask have laid the foundation for the band Enid. In the meantime, the band from Belgian town Mons has grown to become a quintet and has releases two singles which were highly praised in Belgian radio broadcast. While the debut EP is about to be released in spring 2022, it is worth taking a closer look at the second single 'And I'.
Enid create boppy and catchy Bohemian Pop and Indie Rock comparable to the works of Gabrielle Ornate. Their colourful and choppy sounds are about emotional breakdown and recovery, about loss and hope - gorgeous as the first blossoms of spring.
The Fades - Lost my Job / Time is Right (MR)
(04:55, Single/Double A-Side, Digital, selfrelease, 24/02/2022)
The Fades from London, England hereby announce their upcoming album which is to be expected later in 2022. Thus, the English band presents not one but two tasty appetizers for fans of energetic Post Punk, dynamic Garage Rock, and anthemic choruses. The first song 'Lost my Job' is a great hymn for unemployment and the fact that being without work can be very stressful, too. The gigantically grooving chorus marks the climax of a sonic structure that goes from The Clash-like Post Punk verses over to a thrilling an electrifying bridge. The second A-Side 'Time is Right' is a tune for the road - no matter what side of the road you drive on, this track is for the fast lane.
Jiva - אהבה (MR)
(03:04, Single, Digital, selfrelease, 05/03/2022)
Jiva Taranenko, born in Ukraine, now based in Ashkelon, Israel has an important message to tell: Where there is love, there is life! Thus, the talented artist's latest single 'אהבה' (Hebrew: 'Love') is a love song that is dedicated to the thrilling and empowering emotions that are set free when one experiences love and therefore they know that they are alive. Together with Dmitry Dubrov, Jiva creates a stunning and overwhelming soundscape that rises up from emotional Dark Pop and Darkwave to tense Trip Hop and Glitch until it climaxes in a blasting rave of love and positivity.
Camilla Passani - Clint (MR)
(04:19, Single, Digital, selfrelease, 21/01/2022)
Camilla Passani from Italian capital Rome is taking her audience on a journey through the gorgeous vastness of the prairie. A rhythm that mimicks the gentle jog trot of an allegiant horse is the foundation on which the rhythm guitar paints dry, dusty, and yet impressively beautiful images of sand, weeds, and a breath-taking horizon hemmed with barren rocks. In this musical landscape, the lead guitar paints pictures of burning hot sunrays, of passion and wanderlust, of destiny and solitude in nature.
Step Into The Kitchen - A very different Kind of Dessert (MR)
(03:09, Single, Digital, Ten Dollar Recording Co., 05/02/2022)

This cocktail of Krautrock, Dub, Trip Hop, and several other mind-expanding sounds makes your tongue hear colours. Dive into this gorgeously eclectic and artistic soundscape and enjoy.
