The Galaxy Electric and Droog Mulholland Mystery Song Muzak From The Korova Milk Bar Sleek and sumptuous dancefloor productions are the forte of Britain’s Subexotic Records. Their latest offering is a mixed artist album that represents everything cool and groovy about the world-famous Korova Milk Bar. The Clockwork Orange inspired soundtrack incorporates everything from the haunt of those fictional psychopaths who try to blend in and appear normal, like milk. That is until they see something they want and turn. Maybe they’ll want to listen to this album, with music designed specifically for those memorable nights on the town drinking the spiked white stuff. Beats, synths, rhythms, and effects make the sound sculptures stand out with creative ideas and crowd-pleasing elements working hand in hand. Released on digital and on fashionable black vinyl, the record stands intriguing and interesting with a setlist that meets all our expectations. An eerie edge then creeps across as the vocal begins to describe. The drums drive, jazzy vibes resonate from the loose spring snares and splashy cymbals. Rolling toms with a bass-led delay repeat add a viscous layer to the flow as the vocal moves to song. Melody and vibe shift to sing from the beats as crafty rhythms reveal an early 70s style spirit. The retro atmosphere holds on to tradition that carries forward to the modern age. Musak From the Korova Milk Bar is a fascinating album that’s rammed with a hedonistic flow of deft productions like Mystery Song.

Sea Of Treachery
What’s Past Is Prologue Mutant League Records Heavy metal experts Sea Of Treachery have been playing and working together as a band for years. The hard work kept them fresh, noticeable, and with a growing fanbase who look for the name. With a strong sense of tradition, Sea Of Treachery have been promoting themselves with the goal of a record deal that respects their journey. And that’s exactly what they got. A focus and resilience with a desire to grow into the shoes provided will always meet the target in the end. It’s an exciting time for this metal band from Kentucky, with new music out now and a few live dates to follow. A membership reunion with the return of Christian McManama on the guitar to put the music together has given the band a new found energy that first manifested at their beginning. With their established competence and a tight-knit professionalism, Sea Of Treachery present What’s Past Is Prologue. A semblance of electric noises fume in the distance before a break of drums with blast beats and guitar shredding takes control. A grinding distortion savours the strings and ejects a fizz of energy and tone. Vocals shriek and growl like a monstrous nightmare as the rhythms form torrents of fast-moving riffs. A clean vocal section breaks up the hardcore for just a few moments before another heavy verse launches into a sustain middle thirty-two. No eights here, the power is set too high. Massive and barraging trebuchets of sound continue to hammer the walls with heavy guitars sticking like clingfilm to thrashing drums. What’s Past Is Prologue from Sea Of Treachery hails the new future with wide eyes and bared teeth.

Past Life Romeo
Sometimes, Most Nights Remixed by Palmistry What went viral across several scenes upon release at the beginning of Spring has been given a fresh burst of energy by London singer and producer Palmistry. With accolades from places like Apple Media, Wonderland, Radio France Inter, and iMusic, it’s not a big guess why the track was selected for this new release. The Past Life Romeo track, from the former frontwoman of Sugar Pills, takes a hyperpop yolk and mixes it up with electro rock ingredients. With a new EDM and dancefloor edge driven in by Palmistry, the mesmeric voice of Past Life Romeo gets a new frame and a few new galleries to be admired in. A rhythmic siren bursts from the quiet with a scattered rhythm of quick-stepping beats. The percussion open out with synthesiser melody that carries the vocal. A volley of rhyming poetry creates a vivid image that repeats in colourful forays of blossoming vibrancy. Intellectual beats and emotion bending keyboards pulsate and glow with sounds and feeling as the pattern repeats and evolves, spreading wings until a sudden silence. There has to be more, and there will be, once the album is out on the 24th of May. You can follow Past Life Romeo on Instagram
Pas Musique
Come Follow Me Alrealon Musique Brooklyn’s music scene is bulging with brilliance and one of the familiar faces who electrify the circuit is Pas Musique. Active since the 90s and known for his continual creative craft, Pas Musique enlightens the youth on 80s synth music. Mixed with avant-garde sentiments, Robert Pepper’s compositions carry the heaviest of vessels across the waves. The new album is on its way and this single comes with an instrumental for everyone’s listening enjoyment. Written with philosophy and metaphysics in mind, one could be forgiven for thinking he’s read one of my books. He probably hasn’t though. The track is in fact a tribute to a genuine figurehead of the scene, Fad Gadget or Frank Tovey. It was Fad Gadget who helped to kickstart Robert’s music journey all those years ago, and now with crowdsourcing helping to put lights at the end of a freshly built tunnel, this collage of video and ideas makes a unique sonic visual experience. A slender bass kick opens the track with a dub effect tape loop that repeats the title of the track. Some dazzling tom toms begin to spell the groove as synthesiser sounds craft new areas of exploration in avenues unfamiliar to us all. A bouncy synth tone then takes over in a bass rendition, mimicking the rhythm instrument in bars of springy tonal percussion. More vocal sounds enter off-key and punk oriented, we seem drawn in by the homely and run of the mill timbre of the voice. It’s like one of our mates. He’s soon replaced by a fizzling guitar sound that sits high above the rest of the track, spiralling and vibrating in a magnetic uplift of half-melody. Surreal and loosely dream stitched, this track by Pas Musique is a truly independent sound that is rippling with intrigue and a strange moreishness. You can pre-order / purchase the album from Bandcamp Find out more on the Pas Musique website You can follow Pas Musique on Facebook X and Instagram An Alternative Twist On The Blues And Dreamy Tinctures With Los Saints And If Everything Goes7/5/2024
Los Saints
If Everything Goes Enci Records As we wait patiently for the patented new album, expected at the end of June, the San Diego breeze-rock band Los Saints give us If Everything Goes. This is the third taster from the new record, following on from the social media and airplay successes of Faded and Never Said. The band have pulled all the stops on their creativity machine once again with a music video produced by Spencer Sease. In just a few days the YouTube version has been watched hundreds of times. The song is about feeling like a burden without knowing why and how it’s hard to move on without a good reason. The important thing is to not blame yourself, as long as you do your fair share. As a band, Los Saints bring more than a good portion of quality music, so let’s all help them to lighten the load. A lightly touched electric guitar with a deep sense of melancholy opens the tune before a breath of air unleashes the band. A buzzing distortion falls in as the drums and bass throw the rhythm into its groove. Melody rises like a flag as the various instruments culminate in the wide-reaching notes. Dreamy and imaginative lines bounce from high to low in a squash match of mirrored feelings. No-one is keeping score, it’s just about the music which drifts from a backdrop for vocals to a wall of spiralling tangibles. You can follow Los Saints on Instagram and X
Natalie Gray
Last Orders UK Taking a firm hold of the sounds invented by Pink and the flare made famous by Kelly Clarkson, winner of American Idol in 2002, Natalie Gray heads back in time to the middle of the 1980s to re-establish that artistic wave of emotion first sensationalised by Madonna. The world needs more of that kind of thing, and Natalie Gray has made it her mission to do exactly that. Her work is co-written with her life-long friend and music business operative Jack Craig. Together they are standing far beyond the benchmark with prominent and proficient creativity. Don’t wait up, time to get your Last Orders. The song begins on lush keyboards that hum and muse in nostalgic progressions of melody. An electronic drum kit begins to thump the rhythm in a one-two beat as guitars and bass join the composition in expansive and manicured frills. The layers on tone and harmony sink deep like freshly baked cake and Natalie Gray soars over like the cream topping, curling and peaking in all the right places. A party atmosphere with a memorable flavour crystalises in the music as jazzy funk sections give another direction to the flow of sound. The song just keeps going, the energy doesn’t stop until the end as Natalie Gray sings to the dancing vibes of the music.
