‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Electronic dance veteran What So Not pairs up with MØ again to revisit the 2018 stripped-back ballad version with Two Feet for her album Forever Neverland, bubbling with oscillating, pounding dance-floor euphoria, epic stadium drums and soaring vocal melody leads. The brand new album Anomaly, from What So Not showcases a reinvented and revitalized Chris Emerson, bursting with huge names such as Oliver Tree, Louis the Child and The DMA's. The new record unveils a reborn What So Not, revolutionizing his sound and creation process, building an entire virtual world alongside the record. Emerson shares the difference in processes between Anomaly and his last album, Not All the Beautiful Things:

“I think that Anomaly has the strongest songs that I’ve ever created. This album is a new lease on life for me, it is confident, it is passionate, it is highly energetic. On my last album, I was in a very sad place, and that was me processing and dealing with that, whereas with Anomaly I’m coming at it ferociously excited about life and about dance music and about the amazing cultures that I’ve been invited into around the world."

Listen to Mercy (2022 Edit) as part of the new album Anomaly now.

Kerala Dust debut their new label with visceral new single Pulse VI

September 16, 2022 by Toby Boston in Indietronica

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Kerala Dust debuts their new record label Play It Again Sam with the texturally rich, organic new hit Pulse VI. The group blend their psychedelic rock, blues and techno influences into dark and moody atmospheres built for late-night drives or blurry mornings under the streetlights after a nightclub.

Lathered with vibes of Berlin where they reside, Kerala Dust captures a visceral psychedelia with their music, crafting a sound world that perfectly encapsulates a very specific moment, a band with a very poetic approach to the music. Pulse VI is no different, a song, as they put it, "about a couple in a tempestuous kind of love affair, driving on an old German motorway, somewhere on the outskirts of Berlin, a mix of nostalgia for the past, coupled with a melancholy for the lengths that we would go to feel anything at all".

Stream Pulse VI now, and keep an eye out for their North American tour with dates across September and October.
