Conflict at Serenity Pools – Corn Cobs
I like the track parachutes into our life like something from Jean Michel Jarre at his pomp in the 70s/80s. Of course there are all sorts of spacey connotations and only that Jason Pierce of...

MoonBell – Get Back To That
Oh my talk about taking us on a journey full of romance, ‘Get Back To That’ comes to us with a tide of brass and vocals that show levity on a grand scale and it means that flowers are likely to bloom...

Adrian Sood – Krono
It sure does break out of the traps with some amount of gas in the tanks, like a track that was half way through and with the build out of the way there is only the real deal to contend with. But...

It does pulse early doors, angling for our attention and getting it because all of the effects amount to beyond ambience and into dreamy pop. It quite reminded me of I Break Horses, the hint of...

Mindchatter – Day Dreams
There is a bouncy quality, rather like a old arcade game soundtrack but with the fey boy vocal (Bryce Connolly) added so the context is changed from pixelation to real life arteries affected by human...

Slove & Appaloosa – Fireflies
Being the old codger that I am I often hear snatches of old tracks and in the case of ‘Fireflies’ it was Lipps Inc’s ‘Funky Town’. Now there is probably more of a future leaning electronic twist to...

Rich Aucoin – Space
Always with the rounded view from the dancefloor has Canada’s Rich Aucoin and for me it feels like we’ve been spirited away to another place, another time and at an age when our legs could respond in...

Jamesik- Act Like That
Starting out as it does we probably couldn’t have predicted the bright sunshine that was on the way but Jamesik pulls it off and in a manner that is post-ambient, pro-happiness and post-Daniel Avery...
