HENGE

Here's some wild new music from Manchester artist HENGE.  "Brains" is a frenetic mix of prog, funk, psychedelia, krautrock, synth pop, and all around hyperactive weirdness.  Fry your brain to it below and pre-order the upcoming "Humans" LP here from Cosmic Dross Records.

Justice x Tame Impala x SZA x King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

I'm not a gamer and never really have been much of one.  Okay, maybe back in the '80s with the original Nintendo, but there are a million things i'd rather do than play video games.  Anyhoo, i will admit to digging on video game soundtracks.  We've come a long way from 8-bit scores with the upcoming "GTA VI" getting music from French electronic duo Justice.  And on "Flower in a Hurricane," they team up with Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.  That's a hell of a lineup, and the tune is a sleek, '80s-inspired pop gem that sounds like cruising the streets of Miami in a convertible, on the run from Crockett and Tubbs or something.  Check it out below and download it here from Because Music.

Kontravoid

LA darkwave industrial act Kontravoid released new album "Sound of the Void" last week, a collection of gothy synth pop and death rock.  Just the kind of thing to enjoy on an October night.  Check out the propulsive "Without" below and grab the LP here from Artoffact Records.

Subject Sue

Keeping the October in September vibes going with some new darkwave synth pop from Amsterdam based band Subject Sue.  The group's new "Details in the Dark" EP is out next month.  Pre-order it here from Avant! Records and listen to the gloomy, yet bouncy, title track below.

Daily Jam - Boris Transylvania Camp

Been trying to get myself into a fall mood lately, but it's hard because it's just been so damn hot here.  But, we've got some Halloween decorations up, with even more to come, and we've got the dark vibes a-brewing in the house.  Here's some French coldwave to help.  Listen to "Boris Transylvania Camp" by Opera De Nuit below, our Daily Jam.

Actors

Here's some great new, goth-infused darkwave and post punk from Vancouver band Actors.  The vibes on "Our Love Will Live Forever" should carry us through the fall, autumnal tones and longer nights.  Dig on the album opening "CTRL" below and get the LP here from Artoffact Records.

raudiver Remixed by The Stargazer Lilies

Houston darkwave synth pop duo raudiver have been dropping some remixes lately, and the latest comes from Florida-based shoegaze band The Stargazer Lilies.  Check out the "Bleach" remix below and download it here from Geodesic Records.

R. Missing

New York's R. Missing is proving to be quite the prolific artist, dropping single after single, and album after album these last couple years.  It can be hard to keep up.  Anyway, it's still fun to try, and her latest, "I Can Feel Your Solar System," is a lovely mix of dreampop and dark, dancey synth pop.  Check it out below and download it here.

Ringfinger

Here's some gothy new lo-fi and dreampop-tinged darkwave from Vancouver artist Ringfinger.  Dig on the excellent new single "Three Stones" below, download it here, and be sure to check out the R.E.M. cover on the B-side.

Soft Vein

Dig on some new synth pop from California based artist Soft Vein.  The upcoming "All We've Known of Heaven" LP is out next month on Artoffact Records.  Pre-order it here and listen to "Another Summer" below.

Black Doldrums

Let's blacken those skies just a little bit with some gothy new darkwave from UK duo Black Doldrums.  The band's new album "Repetition Compulsion" drops in October (naturally).  Pre-order it here from Fuzz Club Records and listen to "Repetition (Single Version)" below.

Frankie Rose

New York's Frankie Rose has been on the indie beat for a long time now (with Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls, and many more, as well as here solo output), and she has a new album heading our way in September with the decidedly synth pop-tinged opus "HILA."  Dig on the gothy, darkwave vibes of "Manifest" below and pre-order the LP here from Born Losers Records.

Boy Harsher

Massachusetts darkwave synth pop duo Boy Harsher have been one of our favorites around here for the last few years, and now the band has a new record heading our way in September with the forthcoming "Get Mean."  Let there be much rejoicing...and moody dancing.  Check out "Hard Beat" below and pre-order the LP here from Nude Club Records.

Daily Jam - Don't Go

Here's some '80s synth pop for your Wednesday.  Listen to what in my opinion is one of the best synth lines of all time in pop music with "Don't Go" by Yazoo (Yaz to us North Americans), our Daily Jam.

NINA x Radio Wolf

Here's some dreamy new synth pop (emphasis on the pop) from Berlin-based artists NINA and Radio Wolf.  Dig on the wistful '80s haze of "The Ghosts of Prom Night" below and grab the "Jukebox Dream Vol. 1" LP here from NewRetroWave.

Daily Jam - Somebody (Vocal Version)

Wake up!  It's time for some synthy Italodisco from Italian duo Video.  Check out the 12" extended "Somebody (Vocal Version)" below, our Daily Jam.

Spacemoth

Let's get weird with some new music from Cali-based artist Spacemoth and new album "Inward Eye."  Swirling synths, funky bass, and quirky melodies abound.  Listen to "Do We Exist?" below and grab the LP here from Greenway Records.

Hallows

Last month, LA darkwave synth pop duo Hallows dropped their new album "Dream," a sleek and moody, yet danceable electro-opus.  Check out "Two Bodies" below and snag a copy of the LP here from Artoffact Records.

Daily Jam - Flutes

Good morning.  Here's a Hot Chip song i really like.  Listen to "Flutes" below, our Daily Jam.

Boy Harsher

Here's a new track from Boy Harsher.  "Jeans" is probably the poppiest thing the duo have ever made, leaning less towards the darkwave sound they typically do.  Check out the video below.
