Joshua Worden, Casey Harper – Easy to Say
(Spotify)

"Joshua's music isn’t too far from Sufjan Stevens’ electro-minded sound on his The Age of Adz, incorporating smooth vocals with a reverbed percussive presence and electronic flourishes." - Obscure Sound

“Music is a sheltering rock for a variety of Joshua’s inner storms and his minimal production style reflects the intensity that he encounters in the dark. If you’re a fan of artists such as Rhye, Blood Orange, Moses Sumney and The Internet, then we recommend to add Joshua Worden to your playlists.” – Tattoo.com

"The music is light in the sense that without the ethereal synth pads and reverbed drums, the frequency-modulated noise would colour these songs dark. Worden’s musical influences are plain to hear but he’s drawing upon some strong ones – there are pads suggesting Vangelis here, a dose of Washed Out’s throb there and the bold lead lines of Tangerine Dream." – Addicted

Llynks – Like You Said You Would
(Spotify)

As an artist, Llynks aka Sara Kendall uses her haunting and introspective words to explore themes where she pushes through some of this self-doubt and gets to new highs of empowerment and self preservation. Musically, a saccharine voice and robust synths create undeniable melodies and moments that juxtapose the human connection with the noise and chatter of post-Millennial cyberpunk. Become the Root, her debut LP out June 19th, is the soundtrack for jaded e-girls and post-apocalyptic plaintives.

The gut-punching album closer “Like You Said You Would” is out today. Like much of the Llynks’ music, it has a decidedly visual element, with a distinct otherworldly/fantasy/sci-fi vibe, not unlike a favorite mixtape from a Ridley Scott replicant in Blade Runner.

Ben Osborn – Psalm 22 – Instrumental
(Spotify)

Psalm 22 is a new instrumental from Ben Osborn: a British songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist based between Berlin, Germany and Bristol, UK. The track is due for release on 8th February 2019 on Nonostar Records, the label founded by German experimental violinist and producer Alex Stolze. The track is a taster for Ben’s debut album, Letters From The Border, due for release via Nonostar in Spring 2019, and follows recent debut single Fast Awake (November 2018). Letters From The Border was produced and composed by Ben with Alex during a residency at Alex’s remote, custom-built studio on the German/Polish border in Summer 2018.

An instrumental B-side to new single A Bridge of Starlings, Psalm 22 showcases the unique prepared piano sound Alex and Ben have crafted in the Nonostar studio. The composition has a bittersweet simplicity reminiscent of Schuhmann’s Kinderszenen, its stark minimal texture decorated with lush washes of synthesiser harmonies.

Tigerpunsh – Shade
(Spotify)

Tigerpunsh is the self-titled debut release from new London-based
Welsh/Finnish electropop duo Rochelle and Vee.

Connecting initially over Instagram in 2018 over a mutual love for music
technology, the girls were destined to work together; a year later they were
in an East London rehearsal room playing session drums and synths for an
unnamed pop star, but after big feud between the artist and some other band
members, Vee and Rochelle found themselves alone in the space with an
extensive stack of synths and electronic drums running through a huge sound
system.

Determined not to waste their time they stayed and jammed out, effortlessly
writing two tracks ‘Shade’ and ‘Friend’. When eventually getting kicked out
they kept writing in Rochelle’s car and followed up with several all-night
writing and recording sessions. Derived from their mutual obsession with big
cats and the bust up in the rehearsal space; ‘Tigerpunsh’ was born.

Quitting their session musician day jobs, they signed their debut record to
new BMG label, Tubesounds.
