Miki Berenyi Trio - "Manu"


Miki Berenyi Trio's debut album, Tripla, is out now and stands tall with any of Miki's Lush albums. I am drawn to the dubby, dream-pop stylings of "Manu."

Ghost Mountain - "October Country"


A witch house revival is taking place, and I, for one, am here for it.  Ghost Mountain, part of the Northern California rap collective Haunted Mound, has released a mixtape reveling in the genre's tropes: murky, tinny drum machines, blasted and reverbed synths, and masked vocals. The title track, "October Country," is a prime example.

The Horrors - "The Feeling Is Gone"


The Horrors' sixth albumNight Life, moves away from the guitar-heavy tracks of the past and into the dark, synth-driven world of Sisters of Mercy's Floodland. "The Feeling Is Gone" features Arctic-cold synths, foggy drum machines, and Faris Badwan's goth prince baritone.

No Body ft. Aydo Abay - "Fear of the Golden Hour"


German post-punk/synthpop act Nobody teams up with Aydo Abay for the collaborative record Loves You. My favorite track is the haunting, synth-wash-drenched "Fear of the Golden Hour."

Factory Floor - "Between You"


Recorded with Stephen Morris of New Order, "Between You," the newest single from London's Factory Floor, is a slamming, euphoric banger. Makes me want to hit the dancefloor.
