And music by:

MATROX http://mechanicalforestsound.blogspot.ca/2014/02/recording-matrox.html

Robot synth trio lays out some languid space electro funk licks. New generation beats click underneath floating synth lines. Hopeful new world moon music for a future where space is a safe haven for your dreams. Bleeps & bloops glitch forward over some Moroder style bass lines. Distorted angular vocals chant out in slow motion over impending electro chaos.

BLONDE ELVIS https://blondeelvis.bandcamp.com/

Jesse James Laderoute's glam psych pop ensemble's over the top arrangements ooze the love he has for the pop form, while the griminess of the guitars and buzzing synth recalls a more primitive post punk. Like any good pop act Blonde Elvis dips it's toe in other sonically diverse worlds. These sonic diversions only help to build the power of Jesse's carefully crafted hooks. Always at their fullest Blonde Elvis doesn't miss a moment to indulge, but still maintains a strong sincerity. Synth flourishes dance over a driving rhythm section. Jesse's voice, often cruising through Bowie-esque territory, seamlessly slips over his pop fantasies cum dissonant meltdowns.

GERMAPHOBES https://germaphobes.bandcamp.com/

Weird pop masterminds Neil Rankin & Paul Erlichman both formerly of Gay play with a sound that is slightly less full, but offers many more opportunities for interplay. Paul's guitar work is warm & welcoming, but still has an angular edge, creating a nice juxtaposition as the band weaves heartfelt harmonies with idiosyncratic interplay. Grooving bass lines carry forward their slightly off kilter pop songs, recalling The Talking Heads or even some of Brian Eno's earlier work. Never overstated, but masters of their domain. Don't miss this!

CASTLE IF castleif.bandcamp.com

Toronto kraut synth manipulator Castle If extracts eerie tones from repetitive electronics. Her haunting soundscapes belong in some heavenly cold storage locker. Vocals almost hidden, slither amongst synth hums. The cold gurgling of the future, mixed with some entrancing nostalgia that won't let you go.
