Rising ambient duo Psycho & Plastic have released their LP

‘The Ocean Between Us’

along with its official

, which is directed by visual artist a-li-ce and 3D artist Max Füllbier. On the rest of the LP you will also hear previously released singles

, all of which were also accompanied by monochromatic videos

The pair have already earned over 4 million plays across platforms with support from Son Of Marketing, CLASH Magazine, Metal Magazine, Faze Magazine, Electronic Groove, Data Transmission, The Club Map, Get Into This, Mixmag Spain, and BBC Radio 6’s Andrew Weatherall to name a few.

Psycho & Plastic is comprised of Alexandre Decoupigny and Thomas Tichai who have been creating music together for over 10 years. The two are from Southern Germany, have both lived in Liverpool where they met and formed the band and are now based in Berlin. Over the years, the duo have released three albums together as well as two EPs as they draw upon the works of Mouse On Mars, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Leftfield, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, Robot Koch, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross for inspiration. Their own sound calls to mind the likes of Brian Eno, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm.

Foregoing preconceived notions, Psycho & Plastic’s music speaks from the soul, as they create an ambient world with their sound. Aiming their music towards “the thinkers and readers, the doubters and dreamers”, each note is chosen carefully to reflect the lingering concepts that arrange themselves at the back of a person’s mind.

‘The Ocean Between Us’

opens the LP with a slow-moving grace as if perfected by aeons of passing time and narrated by gentle piano strokes.

Psycho & Plastic elaborate on the LP:

“We want Phantom Bliss to be a mental place of refuge, a sonic safe space to share for you and your friends. When you listen to it, you’ll hopefully feel just as we did while working on this album: Being so completely immersed in the music that you forget all the fears and anxieties that the state of the world induces, at least for a while. Our music is about comfort for everyone who seeks it, and comfort seems to be exceedingly rare and in demand at the moment. But Phantom Bliss is not about creating the illusion that everything is ok while it isn’t.”

Melt Mars share their new single « Tainted Hearts »

Melt Mars

New single « Tainted Hearts »

Spotify

Melt Mars are a mesmerizing alt-rock band hailing from Orange County, California. Commencing their musical journey as a solo project back in 2019, Melt Mars now comprises of dreamy vocalist Brian, Darnell (Bass), Eric (Synth), and John (Drums), completing their formation as the adrenalised, alternative rock band that’s transpiring with fans in the thousands.

Although their sound is ever-evolving, their newly discovered sweet spot for synths and sampling allows listeners to become enveloped by the rather contrasting worlds of gritty live rock-n-roll and smooth electronic music. Melt Mars transcends barriers, cementing a new wave for the era.

Their latest track “Tainted Hearts”, soon to be followed with their highly-anticipated

Tainted Hearts EP,

presents listeners with their euphonious melodies, gripping guitar and distinct, dreamy drum rhythms throughout. Exploring themes of infidelity and lustrous love, the band used unorthodox practices with producer Timothy Jones to capture certain emotions in the track. Brian states, “Overall, if you listen to the EP as a whole, you can make out a story of a relationship that is ending. I tend to just gravitate towards that emotion for each song. I really don’t have rules for writing.”

Reminiscent of bands such as The Strokes and The Smiths, Melt Mars also embrace the psych ethos of Jimi Hendrix to Khruangbin. Having impressively accumulated over 100,000 Spotify streams alone, we’re set to see great things from the California four-piece!

Nouvel EP « ENERGIE »

Ecoute – Téléchargement

Après l’avant-gardiste « FUTURA » et l’énigmatique « YAKUZA » sublimé d’une convaincante D.A japonaise, le chanteur 100% « Ghetto Chic » est de retour pour nous administrer le shot d’énergie nécessaire à des paisibles vacances. Gonflé à bloc, on retrouve un Abou Tall en toute quiétude au bord d’une plage pour le clip « UN HOMME ». Un décor paradisiaque où le flot des vagues flirte subtilement avec la mélodieuse voix d’un artiste mature et apaisé mais toujours plein d’énergie. 9 minutes et 53 secondes pour recharger nos batteries en mélodie.

Quand il rappe ses premiers textes dans les rues du 9e arrondissement de Paris, Abou Tall n’a que 12 ans et nourrit déjà le rêve d’accéder un jour à toutes ces richesses qui l’entourent.

Depuis son premier album « Ghetto Chic » (2020), chacun des titres de l’artiste raconte cette rage de réussir, avec de l’intelligence de la débrouillardise et l’ambition du gamin des rues.

Sa recette ? Un rap engagé grâce ) une écriture à la fois incisive et sensible qu’Abou Tall perfectionne depuis 2012, lorsqu’il fonde le groupe Shin Sekaï avec le chanteur Dadju.

Artiste curieux et bercé par ses racines africaines et la modernité parisienne, le rap d’Abou Tall est parfumé de différentes sonorités et son inspiration multiple, allant du rap français et américain, à la chanson sénégalaise ou encore cubaine.

Visionnaire et inspiré, c’est tout naturellement qu’est né le nouveau concept d’Abou Tall, une puissante série d’EP concepts, à commencer par FUTURA et sa D.A forte, travaillée et authentique.

MONTE shares their new Ep « This is MONTE »

MONTE

New Ep « This is MONTE »

Entitled

This is MONTE,

this is the band’s third EP and features a whirlwind of emotions and energy that is pure rock n’ roll straight from the groin. The band delivers 5 songs filled with lust, longing, angst, love, and love lost. Frontwoman, Montclare, wrote the EP, drawing from personal experiences with love and pain, a relatable topic to most, but while also being refreshingly honest about her sexuality, and who these songs are about.

The EP ebbs and flows from hard 2000’s and 90’s style pop punk to Heavy Rock grooves, showing a wide and versatile range in their musical style while also staying true to their signature sound and tone. From the soaring guitar solos, catchy riffs, and 4 part harmonies to clever, whimsical, and dark lyrics,

This is MONTE

hits all the right spots.

The focus single, “T. D .T .T .M”, means “Too Depressed To Touch Myself.” Besides the obvious, being too depressed to touch yourself, the song is about not being able to go about life without thinking of someone from your romantic past. In pure MONTE fashion, singer and guitarist, Caitlin Montclare takes a bad experience and makes a danceable and catchy track.

MONTE was formed by singer and lead guitarist, Caitlin Montclare in 2017, later adding drummer and audio engineer, Ismael Baiz, and bassist Meghan Rose to the official line- up. Since becoming MONTE, the band has released several singles, two EPs and performed more than 50 shows throughout the United States, including renowned New York venues such as “The Knitting Factory” and “The Bowery Electric”.

MONTE is influenced by a lot of bands from the late 80’s and early 90’s such as punk bands The Lunachicks, NOFX, Bad Religion, The Offspring and metal bands like Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Plasmatics. Montclare takes an old school sound and puts her own spin on it with the band adding interesting chord changes, riffs, and song structure. Drummer, Ismael Baiz likes to call this “The MONTE pocket”.

WHIM THERAPY présente son nouveau clip « Closely’

WHIM THERAPY

PREMIER EP

« I TRIED TO MAKE MUSIC WITH AI AND THIS HAPPENED »

Nouveau clip ‘Closely’

Whim Therapy poursuit l’exploration de nouvelles expériences musicales, escorté de ses nouveaux outils d’Intelligence Artificielle, et présente Closely, extrait de son EP “I tried to make music with IA and this happened”.

« Pour Closely, Katrina Bondarenko, la réalisatrice, et moi avons voulu représenter la vie, aussi bien dans son immensité que les micros-détails. Elle est complexe, inattendue, parfois explosive et parfois dégoutante, sans jamais arrêter d’avancer et de se renouveler. Parfois on vit des moments d’accalmie, parfois de la colère, mais elle prend tout son sens quand on se laisse porter. C’est cette sensation que j’aimerais transmettre à ceux qui regarderont » explique Jérémy (Whim Therapy)

Whim Therapy s’associe avec le laboratoire Sony CSL spécialisé dans le futur de la musique basé sur l’intelligence artificielle. Les premières sessions en studio ont amené Whim Therapy à porter la collaboration plus loin.

L’histoire commence en 2010 quand Jeremy fait la connaissance de l’auteur/compositeur Yogan Le Fouler-Barthel, qui cherche alors à faire mûrir son projet Diva Faune. Grâce au succès du duo, Jérémy devient un compositeur et un réalisateur demandé au service d’autres artistes sous le nom de Jamy Ben, et signe un contrat d’édition avec Sony Music Publishing.

En marge de Diva Faune naît le besoin d’expérimenter sans rentrer dans aucun schéma. C’est ainsi qu’en 2020 prend forme Whim Therapy, le moyen pour lui d’explorer de nouvelles façons de composer. Intrigué par les solutions que développe Sony CSL, il contacte l’équipe française via les réseaux sociaux. Les deux entament une collaboration qui lui ouvre l’accès aux outils.

Après s’être familiarisé avec les possibilités de ces nouvelles technologies, il entreprend de composer avec leur aide. Des multiples morceaux que Jérémy réalise, il choisit le titre

Let It Go

pour participer en 2021 à la deuxième édition de l’AI Song Contest, le concours international qui permet aux artistes de réinventer le processus d’écriture de chansons grâce aux outils d’Intelligence Artificielle. Fort d’un concept mêlant une vibe old-school à l’ultra modernité des outils, Whim Therapy avec

Let It Go

remporte le 2e Prix du Public.

Jeremy décide alors d’aller plus loin et s’engage avec le laboratoire Sony CSL sur la conception inédite d’un EP construit en collaboration avec l’Intelligence Artificielle, qui pour la première fois dans le monde repousse les standards de la musique pop électronique.

Sufferplenty shares his new single « The Calm »

Sufferplenty

New single « The Calm »

Spotify

“The Calm is a song that was initially started in 2018 during the time I was in a long distance relationship. The relationship was short lived ending in early 2019, but left me with trust issues and a mind that over thinks the worst scenarios when in love. The track was forgotten about until 2022 when I discovered it only half finished and decided to add a 2nd verse in the place the girl I was in the long distance relationship with was supposed to feature on. Instead of focusing the 2nd verse on the end of the relationship I decided to write about how in my current relationship I still struggle with issues and worries that manifested from my previous experiences. The moral of the story is that it’s better to have loved and lost than to never loved at all. It was the calm before the storm.“

Sufferplenty is an American rapper, singer and songwriter from PG County Maryland. sufferplenty is no stranger to isolation and feeling alone. This is what led him to start making music in 2017. Though he has been rapping and writing song lyrics his whole life. sufferplenty has no plans on stopping and would like to eventually be able to sustain a living from his musical ability. His melodic sound and various different content creation interests is what separates him from other artists coming up right now. sufferplenty wants to be a role model for his listeners in hopes to get them to take their mental health problems seriously and get the help they need. You’re not alone, we’re all suffering.
