Simian Mobile Disco – “Defender” [2018]

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that there’s little I love more than organic and synthetic textures coming together into one seamless fusion. One example I bring up often is the 2015 Holly Herndon record, … Continue reading

Martin Stig Andersen & SØS Gunver Ryberg – INSIDE [2016]

I don’t post about video game soundtracks as much as I’d like, so I’m changing that today. INSIDE is a game that I personally haven’t played, but have watched a lot of footage of since its release in 2016. It’s … Continue reading

A.A.L. (Against All Logic) – “Some Kind Of Game” [2018]

The city sidewalks are sequencers and drum machines. Nicolas Jaar’s Against All Logic project dropped an album last week that I just got around to listening to, and damn – it’s fire. It’s much more akin to his live material, … Continue reading

Software – Digital-Dance LP [1988]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnSr6Svxb1M Youtube has picked up a reputation of unearthing all of these forgotten gems of weird, synth, jazz and pop music that otherwise would have been lost to time. We can see this with Japanese musicians like Midori Takada or … Continue reading

Smerz – “Half life” [2017]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDmTXWz2cDc Medusa is in the club and she’s ready to fuck you up. Along with SASSY 009, Smerz was one of my favorite new groups from 2017. Their brand of dizzying, uncanny electronic pop is so unique and infectious. It … Continue reading

De Lux – “Keyboards Cause We’re Black And White” [2018]

Another great song from 2018. Disclaimer – I’m currently promoting this album to college radio stations, but I’ll be danged if I can’t say this is a good song on my own blog.

Nami Shimada – “Sunshower” [2004]

More pop from Japan, this time from Nami Shimada and the techno stylings of Soichi Terada, who is most known for his work on the Ape Escape soundtracks (in my mind, anyway). This song rips and will definitely get you … Continue reading

Miharu Koshi – “Ryugujyo no Koibito” [1984]

Realizing that a lot of these posts for February are going to be about Japanese pop music from the 80s, primarily labeled as “city pop.” This is the intro track to one of my favorite pop albums of the era, … Continue reading
