Inca Babies
Daniella Manchester They’ve been loudly defining the Mancunian post-punk scene for years, with a passionate fanbase and a back-catalogue for kings. Inca Babies recently offered us their Reincarnation LP. It’s an anthology of chapters that’s out now on Black Lagoon Records. The re-recorded selection puts a new light on old belongings as their evolution and creative spontaneity reinvents the relief of their inner fertile landscape. The latest single from the record is Daniella and lets loose a jazz inspired groove set on dusty city streets. As the song explores the tension between chaos and love, we are invited to explore its reflection as members of the audience. A grimy bass tone meets the surge of machinery before twangs of reverb and tremolo guitar set the mosey scene. The vocals begin, Cure or Smiths like, a non-singing style explores the feeling of discordantness and melodic glitch. The guitars thump with pulses of emotional atmosphere that ripples through viscous psychological glue. The band carries a thorough-bred jazz rhetoric that sets a dreamy tone among the insisting and emo-charged vocals.

Hannah Schneider
Membrane Denmark Musicality and intrigue create a moment of magic in the space between beginning and end, Denmark’s Hannah Schneider has just released In This Room, her meticulously crafted and expertly polished LP. Taken from the record is Membrane, the single utilizes elements of hip-hop in the rhythm to lay down a groove and atmosphere. With a bass clarinet providing the melody, a moody and orchestral element is revealed as her songwriting explores corridors so far undisturbed. Produced by her long-time collaborator Christian Balvig, who arranges the BBC Proms and is part of When Saints Go Machine, the piece concocts a seamless listening space for tranquillity and focus. As one half of the electronic duo AyOwA, Hannah Schneider is no stranger to airplay and media attention. With experience with BBC Radio and US big media, she is something of a monument already. From In This Room, it’s Membrane. The track begins with gusty bursts of bass clarinet; they trample down the dusty undergrowth like giant footsteps wading through the forest. Hannah Schneider begins, she whispers and sings in a musing and spiralling motion. It’s like trip-hop with the steady beats and brilliant vocal sections that offer dream and form. The music reels, strange sonics of organic glitch across woodwind stagger the rhythm like covering fire. Smooth, silken, and soulfully sumptuous, Membrane like muslin delicately covers the scene.

SINE
Blood + Wine Metropolis Records Otherwise known as Rona Rogueheart, electronic music and mystery school artist SINE presents new photos and a single. Blood + Wine conjures images of viscous red and mesmeric passion; her music aims to please. Designed to be blasted out at the club, giving dance instructions with groove and move, the music also hits the intellectual base with lyricism and sound design that captures the moment. She’s been touring alongside PIG, Clan of Xymox, and Nitzer Ebb, and this clash of influences has helped to craft her latest music with direction and adaptation. The cycle of music and momentum continues, the dance and industrial outlook is good, and we can only hope she has more to follow throughout the year. It hits with a sudden bass driven synth riff that clomps through the field of spaciousness. SINE begins with her song as the drums and keys add layers of harmony and tension. Her sultry delivery provides enough emotion to prick the ears and when you listen, it’s seductive and enticing. The synths rage up and out; a flow of twinkling high end revolves on a pumping bass kick and hypnotic cymbals. The dancing beat keeps going, sexy and captivating, the lush bass synth flicks its pressure along the bars, and the music offers scope to dream with ever evolving backdrops.

Opal Ocean
Meteor Melbourne Burning guitars and late-night music bars, the music duo Opal Ocean put quality and showmanship back on the Australian street music scene. They went viral with a busking video filmed in the Melbourne hometown; the skills these guys profess are on another level. The pairing of Alex Champ and Nadak Tabak, with their simultaneously well-crafted skills, brings a repertoire of guitar pieces that entertain, inspire, and capture the spirit of the evening. Their new album just dropped; Temple of the Stars will be brought to UK shores on their tour this week. Taken from the album is the promo track Meteor. Capturing the rise and brilliance of their journey, with millions of views on their videos, the whole world can see the light moving closer to the sun. Let’s catch it. Slapping strings and a rhythmic build up brings the track into full flow. The duo of strings offers a stereo journey of mirrored vibrancy. It boils and simmers; the bubbles begin to bulge and rise, and the frantic melodic adventure begins. A quick launch into rock and metal style riffs delivered on a clean and sparkling steel string; the chops and patterns continue to fly and fling as lead sections embellish and evolve the motion. More high-end quality musicianship follows; the music continues with expert duration and accuracy. Without drums, without bass, just the pulse of the track, the feel of the movement, and a keen ear, the pair push onward through quick stepping blues and formidable harmonies. Deliciously good.

Andrew Deevey
Money Can’t Buy Me Love Waterline Records As the cost-of-living rises, and musicians around the world discover that their career choice is about change and not spare change, Andrew Deevey captures the intensity of the belt-tightened consensus that only gets what they really need. An indie guitarist with a great singing voice, his rock and pop ethic carries him forward with gusto and grace. Formerly of The Decemberists, Hellfire Sermons, The Bitter Springs, and The Caretaker Race, Andrew Deevey has enough veteran hours to create timeless magic with his own hands. Moving into the solo musician's circuit, Andrew Deevey offers a new single on Waterline Records, who he is now signed to. Money Can’t Buy Me Love is a decisive and empowering statement track about how the best things in life don’t have a price tag. Let’s listen. It begins with a bump and harmonica as the guiater and drum fuels a forward progression. The brit-pop vocal hits, it’s got a punk edge, spoken word with a tune, the bouncy and upbeat chords keep the track moving in a happy walk through the scene. A choppy verse and chorus progression is filled with harmonica riffs, and the words continue to build the picture. Swinging rhythms and a marching sensibility, the storyline feels familiar, it’s debt, not enough, and no one cares. There must be love somewhere, right?

Dawn Of Ashes
Viral Decay Metropolis Records Aggressive, industrial, experimental, and dark, the new Dawn Of Ashes single is now available, and the new album comes out next month. Taken from the 20th of March release Anatomy Of Suffering is the stand-out track Viral Decay. It focuses on the core elements of the band’s sound by bringing the energy and the tone to your system today. Synthesisers and angry feelings, Dawn Of Ashes take a retrograde take on the modern condition with their brutal and mean-spirited originality. With subject matter like suicide, burnout, despair, and psychological abuse, it’s not something to put on for your children. More like what you’d listen to if someone just started a war. The track opens with sounds of horrendous things, not quite in earshot. Then a surging and sudden synth opens up the flow. It staggered forward with a gated attack, and more layers provide extra fire to the mixture. The bass and drums enter simultaneously, the darkwave industrial thrust of tension and gloom drives on. Vocals with a sinister, gravelly, and leaning on the black metal timbre then complete the sound. The track punctuated the atmosphere with a chopping and sliding formation of harmonising chord structures across various synth tones and rhythmic patterns. It’s difficult to hear the words, as is the style, which in a way protects the unwary listener from the grimoire of imagery the lyrics describe.
