Catch up on the latest releases from artists around the world – in collaboration with Musosoup.
Mount Kimbie celebrate the fourth anniversary of the ‘Love What Survives’ album by sharing two unreleased tracks from album’s sessions: ‘Black Stone’ and ‘Blue Liquid’. Frank Lebon, a longtime friend and collaborator of the electronic music duo who also serves as the art director for the project, enlisted upcoming artist Peter Eason Daniels to create a music video for ‘Black Stone’. “The video is about waiting, moving and stopping. Collective moments of solitude experienced between one place and another.” – Peter Eason
Philippines-born/California-based musician Idris Vicuña is behind the Eyedress moniker. The new single ‘Chad An Gordy’ is produced by London-based musician and frequent collaborator King Krule – pairing melancholic guitars and drone vocals with a surreal video centered around death, directed by Phil Nisco.
Since recently signing to Majestic Casual Records, Berlin/Austin-based Nora Lilith has released the visuals for her new single ‘Misfed’. The brooding and intimate new release captures various lo-fi electronic ambiences as she explores the cracks and crevasses of experimental bedroom style beats, house, rnb and jazz and is coupled by a dramatic and emotional video, staring Meggie Copeland Nora Lilith and directed by Kate Dannenmaier. “The lyrical meaning behind this song definitely falls into the same theme as many of my songs; an expression of awareness of lost and stolen pieces of myself and a desperation for them to be found. It’s all the things my heart has been deprived of, and all the terror associated with entering the world with those wounds. The music video for this track showcases an angle of this: the frictions between various pieces of oneself: the judgement, shame, and mental contortions one experiences in the wake of controlling and being controlled by one’s own shadow selves. The end of the video represents an untethering from this and a liberated entrance into the world.” – Nora Lilith
Pittsburgh, US solo-artist brednotbred has just released ‘Rinse, Synth Works’ – a pallet cleansing ambient guide fit for daytime nostalgia. The album features a wash of synths, soundscapes, and acoustics, mixing analogue and digital instrumentation to create an otherworldly atmosphere across 9 tracks. “The vision/goal for it was to create a completely immersive, album that sounds so organic my modular synths would have the same lively characteristics of acoustic instruments.” – brednotbred
Tel Aviv based US artist Boko has today dropped ‘Miss u so’, taken from his upcoming ‘Dirty’ EP. ‘Miss u so’ is a rough, warm slice of bedroom-pop, with lyrics reflecting on an ended relationship and searching for closure. As with all the tracks on the upcoming EP, ‘Miss u so’ was written, produced and performed in Boko‘s bedroom with minimal studio equipment, his guitar, and a $30 dynamic mic. The EP took 2 years to create and is titled ‘Dirty’, as all the songs are produced by Boko and are intentionally unpolished, rough and harsh – “they are diamonds in the ruff!” – Boko.
English artist Harvey Foster aka Honey Sky shares his debut solo album ‘Sunset Reflections’. The record was written and produced in his home studio during the the UK lockdown with the intent to escape from life. Foster wants the album to “transport you, chill you out and take you to a better place and make you think/reflect on past memories.” It’s written around the idea of his memories of summer and the seaside, and takes influence from Childish Gambino, Pink Floyd and The Internet, reflecting on days passed.
