This week, the Discoveries of the Week lack the typical picture in the header. Reason is, my laptop's power cable broke, and while I'm waiting for the new one to arrive, I don't have access to my regular publishing tool. Hope, it's gonna be back to normal soon. As always, you'll find the whole playlist at the post's bottom.  Peak Futures feat.

Picture Credit: Natasha Ghosh   Natasha Ghosh - More Love Release Date: February 12, 2021 Length: 03:19 Genre: Indie Pop Origin:  Utrecht ,  Netherlands The newest single by Natasha Ghosh is another perspective on relationships these days. Partners who cannot live at the same place are often going through tough times, in the era of the global pandemic especially. Distance and the impossibility to see each other whenever they feel like it, can be challenging for relationships. Hence, communication is key, but it is not always that easy as it may sound. Together with Cybeat, Natasha Ghosg has created an emotional and smooth pop song. On gentle beats, she sings the narrative of a protagonist admitting to their siginificant other that mistakes have been made. Japanese producer has built a beautiful and glitchy beat perfectly fitting the soulful and sweet vocals by Natasha Ghosh.

Picture Credit: Atlas of Elysian Atlas of Elysian - Through the Threads of Reality Release Date: April 21, 2021 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 21:19 Genre: Nu Core Origin: Cardiff , Wales “Through the Threads of Reality” is the sophomore release by Welsh quartet Atlas of Elysian. The seven-track EP is a powerful demonstration of brachial, modern, and yet emotional music. The style the band calls Nu Core can be described as a mix of Metalcore, Post Hardcore, Rapcore, and Industrial. Pitch-black post-industrial soundscapes create an atmosphere of dystopian darkness on which harsh and brachial breaks go down like hammers to an anvil. The songs are defined by exciting and energetic structures which increase tension over time. This energy sometimes discharges in a brutal thunderstorm of Metalcore, but other times it stays – like the forceful track ‘Fire’ which leads into the spoken word section of the title song. Here, it becomes obvious that Atlas of Elysian have not just put s...
