ZÖE – Summer Funeral
Zöe will be the perfect medicine for those who once loved Evanescence but maybe won’t admit it. “Summer Funeral,” her debut track, is a soaring, melodic and perhaps accidentally gothic af track that wouldn’t feel out of place in an ‘Underworld’ film. The video, directed by Baldvin Z, is equally dramatic. HJC
Stefán Elí – Pink Smoke
Owl City meets James Blake meets Lil Peep in the melodic drones of Stefán Elí. Autotuned to a T, complete with depressing lyrics and a light trap beat, it’s the perfect pop antidote for the Soundcloud generation. Put it on your afterparty playlist. HJC
Singapore Sling – Killer Classic
Rock is cool again, and Singapore Sling are making it known with this great lo-fi number. It’s gritty, groovy and everything good rock and roll should be. JG
PORT – Canals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7rC9tMfebY
Journey back to late 80s goth with PORT’s newest track. It’s a bit more upbeat than their previous efforts, but still has that latent sense of wear-my-hair-over-my-face-so-no-one-sees-me. Pure old-school goth is a genre oft-ignored, but we’re happy to see someone is trying to revive it. We like ‘Lost Boys’ too. HJC
Óværa – Perdido en Islandia
This brutal quintet bring loads of energy and intensity with their new album. Combining the sounds of Pig Destroyer and The Dillinger Escape Plan, the punchy guitar riffs and guttural vocals will have you banging your head until your neck is sore. SO
