After dropping her EP 'Plane Crash' last year, artist Bonnie Li is not gearing up to release her debut album 'Wǒ Men' in 2019. Setting the tone for the upcoming record, she has shared her latest track 'I Want You To Die'. The experimental track features Bonnie Li delivering a theatrical performance amidst unorthodox indie and 60s style pop. The song also finds the singer venturing musically in a different direction than her previous cuts. 'I Want You To Die' is out via Icons Creating Evil Art.
Austria's Anja Plaschg returns under her Soap&Skin project with the song 'Surrounded'. The song is taken from Plaschg's upcoming LP 'From Gas to Solid / you are my friend'. A theatrical offering which features the singer delivering a gripping vocal performance, the cinematic production is mountainous in size with Anja Plaschg continuing to create music that has a timeless appeal opposed to a shelf life expiration of a month or so. This is a brilliant delivery from the masterful creative.
New York-based artist Lea Cappelli aka L'FREAQ has shared her latest single 'New Skin', taken from her forthcoming EP 'Weird Awakenings', out October 26th. A moody, cinematic and epic taste of experimental pop, the production jumps out of the speakers as running drum kicks are paired with mystery-inducing synths with L'FREAQ's smokey vocals leading the charge. Factor in the storytelling element of the songwriting and 'New Skin' quickly becomes a marvelous offering from the rising singer. The track comes amidst her recent signing to Extreme Music/Sony ATV and Saint Rogue Records.
Berlin-based act TULA follows up her track 'Bullet' with her new experimental pop single 'Colours'. Beginning with a minimal and twinkling etching of electronica, the song morphs into a lush and mid-beat 4x4 wonderland of vibrancy. Currently out now, the song will more than likely be featured on TULA's forthcoming EP landing this autumn. Have a listen.
Leeds band Menace Beach are scheduled to release their new LP 'Black Rainbow Sound' on August 31st via Memphis Industries. The pair have also shared a new song titled 'Satellite', which is featured on the forthcoming album. Using fuzzy analogue synths as the leading point to the electronic / no wave tune, there is a particular alchemy in the production, bridging a late 70s - early 80s sound with the now. Have a listen.
Providence band Arc Iris are set to drop their third album 'Icon of Ego' on October 12th. The record will get released through Ba Da Bing Records. Incorporating an analog sound to the forthcoming LP, one of the tracks featured on the release is their latest single '$GNMS'. Staying close to their theatrical styling, the tune is a cinematic and enthralling wave of experimental pop.
Releasing their debut LP 'The Sounds of Security' and the 'Proxy' EP back in 2017, London-based band Moderate Rebels will drop their sophomore album this coming November. Giving fans a semi-taste of what to expect, the group has unveiled their new single 'Beyond Hidden Words'. Taking elements of their lo-fi branding and filling in the spaces with more decorative instrumentation, the song is a happy medium between expansion and their core charm. Have a listen.

There is a soul-stirring magic to the music of Swedish singer Cajsa Siik. However, after releasing organically rich soundscapes for the past six years, with her critically acclaimed third album 'Domino' having dropped in 2017, she began to feel a block inside, coming to odds with the ideas that she wanted to convey, all the while feeling silenced by surrounding noise. Whilst fans have always been immersed in her poetic delivery, Siik began struggling to write. Although this can be an utter nightmare for most artists, she did what many would be afraid to do - simply submit to silence. Within that quietness and stillness, she swam deeper in her thoughts, almost re-examining the person she used to be and the person she is now, creating a meeting ground for the two.
