Matmos share psychedelic sci-fi short for Regards Bogusław Schaeffer single "Cobra Wages Shuffle"

Not content with just racking up Best of 2022 mentions for their new album Regards Bogusław Schaeffer, as well as Drew’s new Soft Pink Truth album Is It Going To Get Any Deeper Than This?, Matmos have one final treat for you before the year is out.

Enlisting visual artist and filmmaker David Jude Thomas, known for his work on the Doctor Who TV series, the band’s new film short for “Cobra Wages Shuffle” echoes 70s psychedelic science fiction shorts with its hypnagogic imagery and saturated colours.

Pioneering producer Oval offers a future-seeking survey of ephemeral emotion on new album Romantiq, out May 12th

Markus Popp’s pioneering innovations, endless curiosity, and playful approach as Oval have made him a pillar of electronic music - Pitchfork just recently hailed his classic 94diskont. as one of the best albums of the 90s. We’re ecstatic to share with you Popp’s new collection of delectably playful avant-pop gems - Romantiq.

Listen / preorder Romantiq now

The name gives a wry clue to its subject matter and soundscapes, but as always with Oval, filtered through Popp’s singular imagination to create something truly unique. Exploring what the notion of “romantic” means to us in the here and now, Popp’s lithe electronics shift from quiet contemplation to euphoric bliss. Glitched instruments glide atop swelling ambience that emerges like perfume, rich scents flooding the senses before evaporating on the breeze, heart-rending chamber music lit by the blue-screen glow of social media flirtations. It’s nostalgic and futuristic, familiar and uncanny, music for both the body and head, and above all an utter delight.

First single "Touha" is up to stream now, and you can preorder the limited-edition red LP version of Romantiq.
Mats Gustafsson & Joachim Nordwall (The Skull Defekts) announce new duo album, out Mar. 24th

Sonic explorers Mats Gustafsson and Joachim Nordwall have announced kaleidoscopic new duo album THEIR POWER REACHED ACROSS SPACE AND TIME-TO DEFY THEM WAS DEATH-OR WORSE out March 24th.

Preorder now on limited-edition "interdimensional jade" LP

The album celebrates the ecstasy of low dynamic experimental music, executed with skilled precision. Each musician drives the other to unexpected places creating sonic expanse that demands repeat exploration.

First single "HER EYES...WERE LIKE COLD FIRES" exemplifies the collaboration's exuberant freedom and wild instrumental acrobatics, the pair transmuting raspy saxophone into churning ocean waves, skittering insectoid percussion and animalistic invocations atop glacial synthesizer drift.

Listen to "HER EYES..." now

Following the announcement of their sprawling new double album 93696 out March 24th, Liturgy has shared new single "Angel of Sovereignty".

Listen to "Angel of Sovereignty"

The piece showcases Liturgy's boundless ambition towards transcendence through rich compositions untethered by traditional rock constructs. Comprised almost entirely of a children's choir, the track is unmistakably the work Liturgy, building tension through an evolving round whose chords grow more dense and textured.

93696 is available to preorder now on super-limited gold double-LP and CD.

Ahead of the release of new album We Cater To Cowards on January 27th, Chicago trio Oozing Wound have shared pummelling new single "Hypnic Jerk".

Listen to "Hypnic Jerk" now

Oozing Wound’s self-deprecating humor here reveals something surprisingly honest lurking beneath the veneer of nihilistic detachment and noxious fumes. “Hypnic Jerk” mirrors the incessant waves of bad news from the past few years in its relentless onslaught and churning groove, the band navigating the noise with inimitable skill.

We Cater To Cowards is available to preorder now on limited-edition silver vinyl and CD.
