Stella Chronopoulou is an artist in every sense of the word. Known by her moniker Σtella, she operates between the mediums of music and visual arts, and even her sonic platform extends to singing, songwriting, producing and playing guitar. Her sound is a glistening array of pop, utterly dreamy and lavish. Having been continually praised by the media for the past few years now, Σtella's second solo LP 'Works For You' is another perfect hitting of the target and further growth of someone who creates from the heart and soul.

Athens' band Baby Guru have announced the release of their new LP appropriately titled 'IV', the follow-up to their 2014 album 'Marginalia' and 2015 mini-album 'Sunshine Special'. Out April 7th via Inner Ear Records, Baby Guru have also shared their latest single 'Tell Me What You're Made Of'. Constantly morphing and reshaping their sound, the track joyously sits between pop and indie as funk strums and a rubber band bass line are parts that helped to make this an infectious wonderland of sound. Below is a stream of the cut.
Comprised of Athens' based musicians/composers Marilena Orfanou, Gina Dimakopoulou and Maria Hatzakou, S.W.I.M have been building their name creating various pieces for film including their debut single 'Never Find It', written for the movie 'Chevalier'.
With a new 7" single landing February 7th via Inner Ear Recordings, S.W.I.M. have joined forces with Greek singer and musician Σtella for the track 'Stop & Remember'.
Athens-based Stella Chronopoulou aka Σtella continues to drop some of the finest synth-pop cuts around stemming back to the days with Fever Kids.

There are really only so many artists who can truly get away with genre blending and bending. Greek-born, Berlin-based singer Sissi Rada has truly found a sweet spot with not only simply merging multiple styles, but actually combining so many in one track with each remaining cohesive to the song structure. Whether stirring together electronica, jazz, post classical or even pop, Rada creates otherworldly sounds that are truly like no other.
Athens producer Kyriakos Moustakas aka Sundayman has had his hand in the musical pot for a number of years now, releasing his 2009 album 'Outerland' and 2012's 'Retronome', not to mention his work with Yellow Slots. With his third LP 'Scene Missing' out November 7th, Sundayman has shared his new track 'Alive', taken from the upcoming album. Somewhere between cinematic synth pop, 80s new wave and haunting electronica of today, Moustakas's eerie vocals along with the creeping keys help to push this cut into an all-out apocalyptic soundscape of goodness. This is quite a treat. 'Scene Missing' will get released via Inner Ear. You can listen to 'Alive' down at the bottom.
Whenever a release pops up on the Inner Ear label out of Greece, you know it's worth checking out. The latest offering comes from Gioumourtzina with their debut LP 'Blakk Metall'. Dark yet subtle, the duo twist together ropes of new wave, shoegaze, indie and haunting electronica. Bold and obscure at times, Gioumourtzina surely know how to scale back at just the right amount to keep listeners tuned in whilst taking them on a mental and twisting ride of experimentation. 'Blakk Metall' is currently out now on Inner Ear Recordings. We have a stream of the album below.
