Daily Jam (October Edition) - Female Protagonist

Here's a little faux soundtrack synth wave from Cluster Buster for your Sunday.  I'm headed to Fright Fest in San Antonio.  Picture a final girl getting her weapons together to fight the big bad and listen to "Female Protagonist" below, our Daily Jam.

Fury Weekend + Cold in May

Here's some new synth wave from Minsk based artist Fury Weekend.  New single "Shadows of the Night" features an assist from fellow Belarusian synth pop band Cold in May.  Check it out below and download it here from FiXT Neon.

Occams Laser

Synth wave anyone?  Here's some new music from UK electronic artist Occams Laser.  "Odyssey of Noise Vol. VI" is all set to accompany your video games and faux horror/action flicks.  Dig on "Apex" below and get the album here.

PILOTPRIEST

Canadian electronic artist PILOTPRIEST dropped a haunting new EP yesterday called "Spring."  Check out the piano-driven somber and quietly devastating title track below and download it here.

Emil Rottmayer

And now it's time for some '80s synth wave vibes from electronic artist Emil Rottmayer.  New album "V.O.L.T." is out now.  Listen to the chilled out title track below and order the LP here from Eye Witness Records.

Lazerhawk

It's been a spell since we last heard from Austin synth wave artist Lazerhawk (over 8 years in fact).  But that all changes with the release of new single "Haunted Highway."  Horror synths abound.  Dig on the track below and download it here.

Metavari

Indiana electronic, ambient, and synth wave artist Metavari is set to release new album "House Tetra Sessions Vol. 1" next month.  The album includes live recordings, excerpts, and re-recordings of previous material.  Check out "Infinite Dark (Babel)," a live reimagining of the "Babel" excerpt from 2017's "Metropolis" LP, below and get the album here.

Impondera

Sometimes those dreamy, '80s throwback synths are just what the doctor ordered.  Easing the mind and soothing the soul.  And so we have Impondera and the new "c a l i f o r n i a dreams 3" album.  Opening track "Ocean Breeze" sounds like the sun setting over the ocean, neon lights coming to life in the city behind you.  Check it out below and download the album here from Future 80's Records.

Garden Gate

Here's some cool and spooky new horror synth wave from New York artist Garden Gate.  Grab the new "Canyon of Blood" LP here from Library of the Occult and listen to the album opening "Devil's Cave" below.

Magic Sword

Boise, Idaho electronic trio Magic Sword make fantasy-themed synth wave music readymade for epic conquests and video games...basically the exact kind of music i would expect an electronic trio called Magic Sword to create.  Check out new tune "Dead Serious" below and download it here.

Haunt Me

San Antonio electronic artist Haunt Me just dropped new album "Watch You Bleed" on Valentine's Day, a thudding, pulsing mix of synth wave, goth, and darkwave.  Dig on the midnight vibes of "VHS Horror Night" below and get the album here from the artist.  Also, keep an eye out for him at SXSW.

VHS Glitch

I've been a sucker for some good synth wave for a long while now, so here's some new synth wave from VHS Glitch.  New EP "Wish You Were Here" is out now.  Download it here from the artist and listen to the airy title track below.

Here's a little synth wave from Russian electronic artist Starfounder.  New album "Vengeance IV" is out now.  Download it here from Electric Dream Records and listen to "Para Bellum" below.

The Heartwood Institute

Halloween may be over, but that doesn't mean we can't still listen to spooky music.  Here's a new one from UK dark synth act The Heartwood Institute.  Check out the title track to the "Unburied Bane" EP they just dropped yesterday below, and download the EP here.

Curses

Here's a cool new single from Berlin artist Curses.  "Tornado Warning" starts off like a horror movie synth wave track and then turns into an old school Wax Trax or European electronic banger.  Check it out below and download it here from Dischi Autunno.

GHOST COP

Here's a couple of cool dark synth wave tracks from New York duo GHOST COP.  "A Shot in the Dark" sounds like something that would soundtrack a dystopian cyberpunk video game, while the excellently named "Using Witchcraft Against a Witch" would be right at home in an '80s horror movie.  Check them both out below and get them here for a dollar.

MAINE

Electronic artist MAINE released the album "IV" back in 2016 in digital format.  There may have also been a couple cassettes running around at the time too, but it's finally seeing a proper vinyl release in 2023 courtesy of Midnight Mannequin Records.  Analog synths abound.  Check out the album opening "Never Speak, Never Teach" below and grab a copy here quick before they're all gone.

Occams Laser

A couple days ago, UK synth wave artist Occams Laser released new Tron-themed album "The Grid Lives."  I eat shit like this up, so i imagine this will be bumping around these parts for the next several days.  The cassettes are all sold out, but you can download the album here.  In the meantime, check out the album opener "ENCOM Forever" below.

Project Lazarus

Russian synth wave artist Project Lazarus has a new album out next week full of space age sounds and icy vibes.  Check out the album opening "Переход" below and pre-order "Ветры Перемен" here.
