Golan

Golan is an eclectic five piece project out of Bucharest, Romania.

One could never loath the sound of such wistful melodies floating upon an eastern European cityscape. Golan’s contrasting abilities combine in a unique blend of harmonic majesty.

By infusing a vast array of instruments, both live and digital, the much needed human touch is always present. A living force in the sonic substructure of “Rocket Love”. 

The track features Island Chain.

EYES EYES

EYES EYES is an alternative Swedish-American indie pop group who just recently dropped their latest single ”Walmart”. The song entails the story of a very peculiar childhood in the United States.

In the afterglow of independence, the antics of the grind turn most to rem·i·nisce on the golden years of ignorant bliss. A time that glows with nostalgia. 

Johan Barrett and Markus Miljand are the creative forces powering the band — two staples of the Swedish indie scene.

The music is recorded and mixed by Daniel Bengtsson at Studio Rymden in Stockholm. Listen to both of their singles on Spotify.

NGHTMRE & Pell

The night two radical midnight sleepwalkers united for a conscious fusion of experimental bass and hip-hop, forever changed my life. As a mere bacterial organism clinging to a space rock that is being throttled through space and time, I should have every reason to be on edge. But, I digress…

On a micro level we perceive time to be rather stagnant. A steady stream of occurrences — from heartbreak to death — few things too little or large for us to pass by. That is, until NGHTMRE & Pell came gliding down the street, sending a ripple through the cosmos and forever mutating the structure of the supposed illusion we’re experiencing.

In hindsight it appears at times to be madness, but at the end of the day is it nothing more than the passing of time — marching forever on into the darkness of the infinite cyclical abyss. Perhaps this is the nightmare, an inferno of sorts. At the very least it is a metaphor for the transformative illusion and the bizarre duality of life. 

NGHTMRE & Pell’s EP Magic Hour was released on Diplo’s Mad Decent. It features two tracks, “Swiss” and “Lights Low”. The dream will resume shortly. Don’t go anywhere you beautiful motherfuckers.

Dear Japan

“Kushiro” is the manifestation of an Indian summer day gone beautifully awry.

Turning away from love and fleeing to a place of isolation oftentimes leaves one fragmented and worn to the bone.

Only when one has been burned to the ground can he then arise again from the ashes and live again. The tragic hero’s tale continues. 

Behold, a magnificent midnight masterpiece to meditate upon.

The dreams of tomorrow will fade away as quickly as the dreams of today. For only the heart is in possession of the truth — an organ as old as the beast it sustains. 

Dear Japan is a new project out of Hamburg and California who are still a bit of a mystery. They’re somewhere between neon Tokyo lights and a hazy Southern California sunset.

“Kushiro” is quite simply a sublime sonic spectacle to absorb.
