"Starstruck" - Sorry
A fine entry in the "disfunctional norff lahndan pop" genre.
"Drops" - Champagne Dub
Eine kleine electrofunkgristle.
"Bubo" - Bill Baird
Ooo. Looky. Nice Fluke-esque thing here.
"No Future In Our Front Man" - Natalie Prass
Of the many versions of Matthew E. White's Trump-baiting "No Future In Our Frontman" this is my fave.
"All Choked Up" - BRONCHO
The stoned cousin of "In Bloom".
"Heat Ray" - Looptron
In which I blow my own digital simulation of a trumpet.
"Unwind" - J Fernandez
Lo-fi, proggy, hippy, lush and discordant all at the same time.
"Mother" - Haley Heynderickx & Max Garcia Conover
This is apparently farm music. Haunting, beautiful farm music.
"Scattered Hearts in the Parks of Cities" - CLARA-NOVA
What an unbelievably sparse and splendid thing this is.
"Into the Fire" - These New Puritans
Jack and George from Southend-on-Sea would like to get into the soundtrack business.
"Altar (feat. Anna Burch)" - Fred Thomas
I'm still not 100% sure why Fred Thomas isn't a global megastar - very few people write better pop songs*. Maybe this time, eh Fred?
FUTURE SOUND OF DISCO is positively ravenous for new music. All of it. Got a tip? @fsodisco on the twitters.
Est. 2018. Proudly curated in Acton Town.
Previously
"Takeda No Komoriuta" - Spirit Fest
Gentle Japanese occassional electric folk pop something something.
"Stop Him" - Honey Hahs
This is genuinely wonderful. Even if it does make me feel. So. Very. Old.
"Horseback" - Majetic
Noisy, melodic bleep madness from New York.
"Bellyache" - Yak
This would not have been out of place at the Haçienda.
"Disarray" - Low
It's difficult to think of a better word than "throbbing".
"Celia" - Cults
Putting the sinister into synthpop New Wave covers.
"Heavy Blue" - Rainstorm Brother
Part bigverb piano, part electrofolk noise, all lovely.
"If I'm Gone Tomorrow (It's Because of Aliens)" - MUNYA
Psychedelia-laced pre break-up space optimism.
"San' Yago" - Cave
Tasty Chicago Jam.
"Stay Awake" - Johnny Hostile
Scratchy warble electro swells, done gud.
"Taishi-Koto, Pt. 1" - L'Eclair
A not unpleasant amount of soundtrack-y organ.
"Steady State" - Rimarimba
Pulsing lo-fi guitar vs electronicalism and drones. From Felixstowe. Obviously.
"Deterritory" - Young Jesus
It's nice to know someone in LA still makes brainrock.
"In the Middle of the Night" - Still Corners
I mean, someone is probably going to have to write Pink Floyd a cheque at some point but that doesn't mean it's not glorious.
