Jordan Fletcher – Death and Taxes
“Gences such as historical Country and Americana perfectly convey everything that has accumulated in the composer’s soul. The structure of the track in this work very competently reflects the whole range of emotions, something real, living and human is felt. Music that comes from the heart.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Такие жанры, как исторические Country и Americana отлично передают всё то, что накопилось в душе композитора. Структура трека в этой работе очень грамотно отражает весь спектр эмоций, чувствуется нечто настоящее, живое и человеческое. Музыка, которая исходит из самого сердца.”

Jacksonville-born and Nashville-based singer/songwriter Jordan Fletcher conveys his personal story with play-by-play urgency and intense attention to detail. All of the songs Jordan sings are 100% autobiographical and delivered as soulful country, spiked with a light-hearted rock spirit that brings hard-fought life lessons to the masses through honest songwriting.
Death and Taxes,” is a follow up to his critically acclaimed Dave Cobb produced debut EP True Stories, released earlier this year via Triple Tigers Records. “Death And Taxes is a song about advice my dad gave me that I’m now wanting to pass on to my son,” says Jordan. “It’s about life, death, love, and family and feels like the perfect way to sum up this personal journal that ended up becoming an album” and WMOT calls the song “a rollicking tribute filled with an upbeat nostalgia that focuses on joy rather than loss.”
LDN Monos – Samsara
“”LDN Monos” presents his fresh release, with plenty of electronic vibrations and fast progression. Cool patterns of percussive sound, rich effects and hypnotic vocals are waiting you to discover them. Also followed by an exclusively artistic clip which should also watch.”
-Nagamag.com
London based Producer and Multi-Instrumentalist LDN Monos (aka Curtis Neil) releases his 3rd single, ‘Samsara’. Following the ultra atmospheric work of ‘First Exit’ and ‘East Heath’, ‘Samsara’ delivers on Electric Sound of Joy’s recognition of the artist’s ‘boundless promise’.
Led by a vocal line sung in Chinese dialect, the track includes an array of sampled world instruments: the inspirative sound of Erhus and Santurs give way to mournful, reverb soaked synth lines. This transition is indicative of the overarching theme and feel of the song: light cannot exist without dark and both elements survive in a an indefinite cycle of death and rebirth.
Having been covered by an array of blogs such as Indie Shuffle, Palms Out Sounds and Last Day Deaf, Neil builds upon the attention garnered from his first two singles. In reaction to the chaotic harmony of debut release, ‘First Exit’, Loudness blog noted that, ‘it all happens so organically that you discover more and more details only after repeated listens’. Such an intricacy of detail is further explored in ‘Samsara’. Neil states that, ‘I wanted to release it as the final single before the album, since it’s the truest representation of what I was trying to achieve with the LP. The track begins with a bright and upbeat vibe, which gradually transitions over its duration: ultimately, the feel of the song is shaped by the intensity and darkness of the chorus. Both sentiments sit alongside each other in a balance’.
Having garnered a reputation for hypnotic and engaging music videos, which led to an inclusion on ADSR’s ‘Sonic Cinema’ series, ‘Samsara’ stays true to form with a poetic portrayal of a synchronised swimming team. Adjusting scene clips to sync up with the rhythm of the track, the video translates the relentless energy of the song into a colourful and inspiring portrayal of individual efforts amalgamating to create a harmonious organism. The video will be available to stream along with the release of the track.
2022 has seen the emphatic rise of LDN Monos within the underground electronic music scene. This attention will be further satiated with the release of the debut album, ‘August In Winter’. The full length will be available to stream in November. The artist is currently working on a follow up to this LP, set to be released in 2023.

Marynka – Yellow Rubber Boots
“Explore the beauty of nature through melodies of contemplative piano and the talent of “Marynka”. When waves of sound are combined with waves from the ocean, we immediately find ourselves balancing on the harmony of (Neo) Classical music.”
-Nagamag.com
The song is the second single from the forthcoming album Dimension 5. Recorded with 14 microphones, it will also be released as Atmos Dolby. The music is a modal composition, a variation on the mood – it describes a walk along the North Sea shore on one of those rare warm and sunny days in autumn. Wearing yellow rubber boots. The music is comforting, relaxing and full of air.
