Pluto Tideswell wants to run away from that sticky big city smog on new single ‘The Walker’

Posted on 23 March 2022

As he reveals to us his burgeoning creative mind that has sent us a track to truly embrace, Pluto Tideswell eloquently describes those hard roads can do to a tired soul on the tendon-heating new release all about ‘The Walker‘.

David Nigro aka Pluto Tideswell is an Italian electronic artist and music producer who started his career as a keyboardist in the prog/rock band, New Seed.

”His influences vary from pop to metal, as well as from techno to classical for his most commercial works. Always searching for new sounds Pluto is not afraid of pushing the boundaries of music genres and to explore his own passion in sound designing.” ~ Pluto Tideswell

Showing us the inner working of a mind that has been fed up with that stifling pollution for way too long, Pluto Tideswell puts on his running shoes and gets to where he needs to be, even if the enjoyment factor is very low right now. With a vibe-filled beat that is totally different to most tracks that you will hear this year, this is an authentic piece of work that needs to be applauded for its complete originality.

”This collection of songs means a lot to me I think 4 years in the making from the first concept of the first song until now.
Covid helped to postpone everything.” ~ Pluto Tideswell

‘The Walker‘ from the Germany-based indie electronic and music producer Pluto Tideswell, is a single all about watching those birds chirping – as he rushes to get to work – in this overly stimulated world that spends way too much time looking down, instead of appreciating nature for its healing beauty. Sung with a knowing glance at a time that is so stressful, this is a relevant single that will surely resonate with anyone who has had to put their shoes on way too quickly, just to make sure that the bank balance was full enough to survive.

Sometimes you listen to a song and it has the power to take your breath away as you have just climbed Kilimanjaro. ZUSO has that effect here and is quite tremendous on ‘Atlas‘ as he takes our minds into an atmosphere that seems to have rarified air seeped inside.

‘Atlas‘ from Sydney, Australia-based indie electronic artist and DJ ZUSO, has a beat so tasty you might want to sink your teeth all the way into it as you smile gleefully to yourself. That is that sky-high track that soaks away any self-doubts that can lead you astray like a ciggie-filled ashtray, as you look deep inside your soul to find that heightened place where you know you can succeed.

Looking upwards and seeing what is possible rather than straying downwards into the pointless noise, is the best way to be content after all.

UK-based electronic act Mesadorm asks for the mindset of her once-proud country to change on ‘Soap Opera’

Posted on 9 March 2022

Released from their label Babylegs Records, Mesadorm tease us into their new single that has us even more excited (if that was even possible) about their new album ‘Pollinator’ which is due for release on 8th April, with the truth-filled ‘Soap Opera‘.

Mesadorm is a UK-based indie electronic 4-piece band who impressively made 3 band babies within 3 years in a lonely woodland cabin in Stroud while somehow having the time to assemble this gem.

“Soap Opera is the court jester. An overt and sarcastic expression of my rage and depression at being an English person after realising that I have no pride in that part of my identity at all. I wanted to write a song about what I really think of this country, at this moment, in a way I could just about get away with…because we (and more of us than we think) are blinded by an old reputation of power and righteousness. That’s the scary bit. I don’t think enough people really, deeply believe that we could be headed to overt, rather than disguised, fascism because we have this idea of ourselves as saviours – our national identity bleeds into our individual identities which we want to be generally ‘good’. So, in this tune, I enjoy poking that nerve. It’s time that we are able to see ourselves for who we really are so that change can happen” ~ Blythe Pepino (frontwoman of Mesadorm)

With an honest-packed tone that takes you into the mindset of a frustrated band who sense that things aren’t what they seem, this is a creative track like none other. The creative forces are on full alert here with an assortment of ear-dancing soundscapes that are filled with unorthodox brilliance and a consciously aware vocalist that unwarps the skin and slices some sense into our frazzled minds.

“Luckily I had a lot of time to recover during the pandemic and I had my studio to go to every day which kept me super happy. I feel incredibly lucky to be alive and to be able to still sing and make music because, apart from just surviving, many who have surgery for this sort of thing end up with severe vocal damage” ~ Blythe speaking about her courageous recovery from Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome)

‘Soap Opera‘ from the UK-based electronic act Mesadorm, is a mind-bender that will shock many while others will nod in approval for the brave message being portrayed here. With the country in a mess and tensions rising daily as the patience runs out, this is a fantastic release that will open your mind to a new generation of hard-working British souls. Many are fed up with the rubbish and just want proper decency and truth painted everywhere, as common sense washes all over the small-minded to usher in a better life for all to live.

LA’s Yaz heats up our imagination on thrilling new single, ‘Heresy’

Posted on 22 February 2022

Taken off her brand new debut album named ‘Inferno‘, Yaz tells us the story of Lilith and Eve that has been reimagined on the striking new release that will surely get your pulse racing, ‘Heresy‘.

Yazmeen Mirgoli aka Yaz is an incomparably talented Los Angeles, California-based indie electronic artist, singer-songwriter, producer, director, filmmaker, and designer.

”Inferno is an exorcism of societal shame and judgement. It forces us to face our darkest fears by holding up a mirror to the hypocrisy of our society, and liberates us by guiding us through each circle of Hell head-on, and celebrating that which is typically deemed taboo and amoral. I wanted to provide an experience for the audience that immerses them into a world that celebrates the entirety of who they are, and sets them free from the shackles of society.” ~ Yaz

With a bass-thudding entrance that is loaded with intoxicating heat and boundless energy that gives you shivers at times, this is a tremendous effort from a truly captivating artist named Yaz. The illuminating beat slams hard into your intrigued soul – and seems to burn a piece off you – before bringing a tiny fragment back, as we are thrown into an avalanche that never lets up.

”Produced by YAZ’s production company, Yaz Media, the video is YAZ’s directorial debut, and features fashion by world-renowned corsetieres Dark Garden Corsetry, and YAZ’s surrealist avant-garde design label Yaz Mania.” ~ Yaz

‘Heresy‘ from the LA-based multi-talented creative Yaz, is a visually stimulating track from an artist who is pressing the boundaries of what is possible and is only going to reach higher pinnacles as you sense her hunger throughout. On a track that sends you into a mood to test your own fascination, this is a startling effort that is a speaker-rattling effort that your elders warned you about.

Reykjavík’s Brikcs yanks the walls down on his new single about that frustration of being stuck inside on, ‘Days Pass’

Posted on 19 February 2022

As he eloquently reflects on the futility and ridiculousness of everyday life in this locked-up world filled with organized chaos, Brikcs shows much pent-up frustration with a vigorously-projected new single that so many of us will relate to with, ‘Days Pass‘.

Brikcs is a Reykjavík, Iceland-based multi-instrumentalist, electronic musician, music producer, singer, and also well-respected rapper.

”His genre-bending music is characterized by dark lyrical themes over elaborate layered instrumentation that relies heavily on electronic drums and synths mixed with lush string sections and grand pianos.” ~ Brikcs

Shifting the mentality away from calm and into stormy waters that have been coming for some time, Brikcs lacerates the speakers like naked tires – on a thoroughly electric performance with a brooding beat – that takes you for a ride into wondering why things have been so disorganized lately in this supposedly smarter world.

‘Days Pass‘ from the multi-talented Icelandic solo artist and music producer Brikcs, is a wall-smashing new single that has your mood made even gloomier by a picture of discontent by someone who has grown mightily annoyed with the way things have gone recently. There is a dark edge here that echoes the gloom and doom that has risen up into the masses as we tried our best to be patient, only to be totally appalled by the brainlessness of the so-called leaders of so many countries who didn’t do enough for the people who needed it most.
