When Dancing With Ghosts To Pink Turns Blue Remember To Make Eye Contact - Watch The Video11/2/2025 ![]()
Pink Turns Blue
Dancing With Ghosts Orden Records Post-punk Euro goth and alternative rock Pink Turns Blue reinvent the tragic romance with Dancing With Ghosts. A new single from the soon-to-be released Black Swan LP takes the veteran soundsmiths to a new page in the chapterbook as the exploratory and charismatic craft invokes yet more creativity. Like the alchemist, Pink Turns Blue is able to maintain a transmutation of feeling and sensibility through ever-reaching branches of songwriting that expand the scene and invite inspiration from all corners of the music room. Their satisfying and sombrely adventurous sound is a long-time feature for the retro and maestro generations; since 1985 they have been entertaining and revealing sounds to a still growing audience. Even the kids are involved, as their two previous singles from their upcoming album have received loads of streams across many platforms. Let’s go Dancing With Ghosts. The synonymous guitar sound reveals a character within the melodic plucked chord structures that has a voice, all we need to do is wait. Like many messages from the great beyond, the rising of influence greets us with a meaningful sound or memory before the coincidental happenings show us we’re not alone. A swaying rhythm of one two drumming meets a rising and falling composition of bass, guitar, and melancholy style vocal deliveries. A true sense of traditional goth music pins the sound down like posters of icons on the walls somewhere in a tower block corner room, where a passionate follower reminisces on that time it was live.

Ecce Shnak
Shadows Grow Fangs New York City The time has come and New York City has a new EP from Ecce Shnak. Shadows Grow Fangs EP takes the five-piece band to the heights of the neon-tightrope and well into the gaping abyss. Thankfully they have a great sound and a fanbase worthy of an award so there’s no chance they’ll fall. It’s just exciting to watch as we know that most of us mere mortals wouldn’t stand a chance. They write from an intriguingly wide range of influences such as Bjork, Queen, and The Clash so we can always expect some tightly produced and experimental juxtapositions throughout their continuing canon. The record was recorded and produced at New York’s Art Farm by Jeff Lucci, mixed by Nicholas Vernhes, who worked with Deerhunter, Animal Collective, The Fiery Furnaces, and many more, plus it was mastered by Grammy winner Greg Calbi, putting Ecce Shnak on his long list of accolades already including John Lennon, David Bowie, Talking Heads, and Bruce Springsteen. As a moment in time and a flag in the ground to mark the achievement, the title track Shadows Grow Fangs has been made with a great live-action video that tells a story all of its own. A frantic funky syrup of strangeness and rock begins as the music takes control of the atmosphere. Strangeness is something we have to expect when listening to Ecce Shnak. A harmony of vocals begins the song in a meandering capture of monologue that evolves in time to the punky snare-driven drum riff that marches and zig-zag through emotional breaks and uplifting currents of abstract warmth. Mosaics of sectional composition link hand-in-hand through the avenues of drama and inventiveness with spiky bits and soft relaxations combining in a tessellation of awkward enjoyment.

Sheffield is the home of Sound Read Six so it’s as if she’s the girl next-door, we’re sure to be extremely protective of her. There’s nothing we can say that will make her think twice as her empowered and well-honed talent is always pushing the doors and widening the windows. As a solo artist, Lori steps away from her rock n roll antics with Weekend Recovery and puts herself in the shoes of a singer-songwriter princess with all her wishes come true. This survivor’s anthem for difficult and challenging times for each of us keeps the party going and gets people moving who otherwise might be waiting for a saviour. A layercake of dirty oscillator synth opens the track as the groove is chiselled out from the feeling. Lori begins her song with a crystal-clear voice, like arctic waters draining from the frozen emptiness, Lori’s feelings and storytelling bring the landscape to life with drama and intrigue. Catchy drifting lines that evoke a genuine romantic angle then plunge into party-driven bounce beats and disco vocals that simmer on digital heat and effects. A Lori style party is at our fingertips with this grinding and rubber-band bouncing semblance of sounds, sentiments, and solo-artist greatness.

Museum Of Light
Undone Spartan Records This next single from their upcoming Diviner LP, their highly-anticipated sophomore record, Undone takes Seattle’s Museum Of Light to another step on the gameboard and one step closer to the cup. The three-piece band from Washington State bring their hard-hitting melodic dynamism to ever crunchier concoctions with their continuous output. This smashing thunder number takes the punk-rock element of their foundation to new metal-bound heights with epic orchestrations of tune and adventurous operatic deliveries. Bringing out the shine from the previous hit Horizon, this next track from the Scott Evans produced 11-track Diviner LP offers another spoonful of awesomeness for us to ingest. It begins with a warm distortion, guitar strings plunge in as a strange atmosphere overlaps the flow. A crunch of bass then begins to push the rhythm down in deep and resonant chunks. The guitars and drums add more depth to the mix, their combined chords and various levels of gain fitting like jigsaw pieces into a wall of crumble. A vocal begins, dreamily reminiscent of France’s M83, harmonizing and soaring. A sense of euphoric expression overwhelms and carries us on, through nostalgia and future dream in a simultaneous drive through the imagination. Undone from Museum Of Light is essentially like nothing else yet could be matched with plenty at the same time.

Lyra
Freak Ireland The stunning and extremely talented Lyra is back with another dark horse pop song that is shaking up the industry. Since outselling Beyonce in the Irish music system by a whopping 50%, this next number is simply exceptional once again. Co-written with Bill Maybury and Kingdoms, the same Bill Maybury who’s worked with James Bay, Kygo, Cian Ducrot, and Jazzy, Freak is raising the bar and pushing the genre with both arms. No stranger to television, Lyra is a familiar face on the Late Late Show and she’s also shown up on Ireland’s Got Talent, The Tommy Tiernan Show, and Dancing With The Stars. Completely at home in the limelight and completely over her ex, 2025 is a remarkable time for Lyra as she gets busy with the artistry and turns everyone’s heads. It builds with a house-style rhythm, built upon bubbling synthesiser bass tones and claps. A lyrical layer drifts in, quiet at first and rising in amplitude, Lyra spills her delivery in neat and pulsating lines. More synth then flies in, sweeping over in a harmonisation of flow. The pressure moves, a change in temperature brings the energy to a higher layer and the works begin to flow like syrup. Melody and rhythm merge in a pretty and driving surge of feminine energy. Dancing attitudes and dramatic role-play words, catchy hooks and a sensational groove, Freak from Lyra is a snappy and memorable party number. You can follow Lyra on Instagram TikTok and X PS.

Blaiz Fayah
Gimme This With Kybba Produced by Basshall Records boss Kybba, Blaiz Fayah is getting his highly-anticipated new dancehall album ready for release with its fire single. Gimme This continues the epic journey of Blaiz Fayah through millions of streams, a gold record in the Netherlands, and a global list of keyed-in fans and contemporaries who all want a slice of the warmth. Or is that blazing heat? We’ll have to see. For the record, the pairing have skyrocketed their productions into multidimensional orbit as, since 2018, Blaiz Fayah has been putting out his independent sounding classics and eventually building empires with Kybba, who undoubtedly has plenty to show the recently established icon. An upbeat melody bops with pulsing beats, tuneful and rhythmic, a rue of sensuality becomes the foundation for the mix. Lyrics and bass hit, drumming with tappety hats and snare give rise to a smooth and easy-going roadmap for lyrical expression. Rapped and sung in a clever mix of influence, both guys share the mic and release the dream in sportscar style bursts of acceleration. It’s short and it’s got groove, leaving us wanting more, Gimme This is a perfect sampler of the record. I want to hear it. We‘ll have to wait until the 21st of February.
