Don’t You Dare (Feat. Subkultural) (Video)

Categories: Blogwave, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

Lyrically the song explores the limits and boundaries that are present in emotional encounters and relationships. In this case the line is set pretty far and most is permitted, but there is a point of no return and that is the crux of the song. Simply put, this is a masochist’s love song.

Musically, it combines elements of electronic music with a rock attitude and feel. An upbeat and energetic intensity is present from start to finish. Fans of electronic, rock, and industrial music in general will gravitate towards this new track from Darko Richards featuring Subkultural.

Sierra Bohnet – Machine (Video)

Categories: Blogwave, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

This single has a big industrial beat with a droning bass throughout. There are layers spun layers of harmonies and backing vocals, as well as a catchy melody. This song is about someone who is coming out of a dark time of their life. The metaphor is a “machine coming back to life”, like the gears start spinning again.

Few words about Sierra Bohnet:
American singer/songwriter/producer Sierra Bohnet performs progressive pop music, emphasizing lush, layered vocal harmonies, heavy synth melodies, and a wide mix of percussions/world beats. In many of her songs, she strives for an epic feel; where her high vocals carry an emotional, electronic symphony. Her inspirations include Aurora, Grimes, Banks, Scott, Allie X, Two Feet, and Cautious Clay.

Sierra Bohnet started writing music as the age of 9, in Truckee California, and has been developing original music ever since. She was fortunate to train for years with a vocal coach who fed her passion for writing and recording music. She launched her first single “Reflection” at the age of 16 and followed that up with new singles each year. She continued to develop her sound, and found a passion for producing her own music while studying at Berklee College of music. In May 2020, Sierra launched her debut EP, Eradøn, with six songs, each of which she wrote, performed, and produced. Ëradøn is the combination of two words – “era” and “done” to signify the end of an era in her life; a sort of rebirth.

While she considers voice to be her primary instrument, Sierra is also a classically trained flautist and a jazz saxophonist. She is self-taught on the piano and ukulele, which she often uses when writing music.

When not making music, Sierra loves goofing off, not taking the world too seriously, and being just crazy enough to help make this world more sane.

Align, Jenni Potts – Reflections (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Blogwave, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

Chicago-based producer ALIGN has prepared a shimmering new single called “Reflections”, out now via Lowly. Grounded in atmospheric, emotional production stylings, the track features a dreamy vocal performance from ODESZA-collaborator Jenni Potts to match.

ALIGN explains, “I wrote ‘Reflections’ on an airplane ride. I was kind of forced to sit there and just keep expanding the idea. It became kind of a delicate airy beat and melody. I could tell there was room for more, so I reached out to Jenni, and she really tied things together with a relatable story. Her vocals are what the song needed. I think ‘Reflections’ walks through ups and downs that we’ve all felt before.”

ALIGN (born James Fisher) prides himself on thought-provoking music for the everyday listener. Throughout the beginning of his promising career, ALIGN has already appeared alongside the likes of Louis The Child, Illenium, Autograf, Hayden James, Thomas Jack, SNBRN, and GTA among a host of others. Additionally, both his remix for Win and Woo's “Constellation” and original collaboration “All in Our Eyes” with fellow Chicago artist Mielo reached #1 on the HypeM popular charts.

L1 from Yuanfen, coming from the same title EP, is a dream pop, chillwave with nice and soft groove, nostalgic guitars and beautiful vocals that give you a retro feeling, while partly includes nostalgia here – mostly you get a positive outlook from the harmonies.

Palindroma – Haze (Video)

Categories: Blogwave, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

Haze is about the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped and lonely. Its told as a story of a lost astronaut who has wandered off in space and is on the verge of losing all hope. But, anyone swimming in this state of emptiness can relate to the track. Palindroma’s fascination for space led to the production of this dark electronic track with sci-fi inspired vocoders, sound design elements and cinematic strings.

Palindroma is a musical project by Nitin Muralikrishna.

Palindroma’s music is a combination of acoustic, electronic and cinematic sound with Indian influences. The sound of Palindroma was nurtured over a 15-year musical journey and finally took shape as musical productions in 2016 at Berklee College of Music. The fine blend of acoustic and electronic elements is the crux of Palindroma’s sound. The importance is given to every small sonic element that then forms a part of a multi-layered arrangement. Nitin is also an Audio/Music production educator and an Audio engineer.

Riotron – I’m Sorry [ feat. Tom Green ] (Video)

Categories: Blogwave, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

The brilliantly bizarre new video from Canadian retrowave popstar Riotron

Support on all platforms here
https://fanlink.to/riotronimsorry

The brainchild of singer/songwriter Jeff Fettes, Riotron is an electro-pop project from Winnipeg, Canada that combines elements of new wave, EDM and even some jazz into a unique sound. The name is derived from the hit song ‘Rio’ by Duran Duran and the 1982 fantasy sci-fi film Tron.

In the delightfully bizarre new video for “I’m Sorry,” Riotron goes to couples therapy…with America! Featuring comedian Tom Green as Riotron’s therapist, this unforgettable short film stars a singing Martin Luther King Jr. Monument, a line-up of drag king Presidents, and the fiercest Statue of Liberty you’ve ever seen.

Says Fettes, “I originally wrote the song because of the division in my family over American politics. I wanted the video to reflect that division, but also how fierce and enduring the USA is.”

The video was directed by Tony Corella and Executive Produced by Jennifer Goodridge who previously partnered to help create the edgy “Mad Hatter” video with Melanie Martinez. Goodridge has previously worked with a number of prominent artists, including George Ezra, Poppy, X Ambassadors and Beck to name a few.

According to director Tony Corella “The deceptively simple concept that ‘I’m Sorry’ puts forward feels like a great canvas to play against the current political landscape— without having to draw any party lines. In a time of global suffering, I’m not sure if there’s a better message.
