E.G. Palermo, Lovely Company, pseudo-antigone, and Monodrone
E.G. Palermo - Lyra Dear / Look Outside
Gentle and lush, the instruments on Lyra Dear / Look Outside swirl around like skaters on a glass-like pond, while E.G. Palermo himself croons softly to us about crumbling love. The resulting layers sound like an extremely plush hotel bed covered in twenty blankets and a million pillows.
Lovely Company - Lost at Sea
You’ve found yourself a nice piece of wreckage. You start to relax. The sun beats down, so you put on the captain’s shades. He won’t need them now. The vibe starts to sink in. Clean, soulful, groovy. Being Lost at Sea isn’t so bad when you’ve got Lovely Company.
pseudo-antigone - Things Are Sinking In
Since childhood, bedrooms have been a refuge from overbearing parents, a place to feel the biggest feelings, and for musicians, an early studio. Some artists go pro, while others stay true to their roots. Things Are Sinking In feels like an homage to that special space where dreams are made.
Monodrone - Customer Service
There’s something about frequency modulation synthesis. Something decidedly 1980s, and honestly, something “cheesy.” But often in music, technology comes around for a second chance. Monodrone’s Customer Service gives us another reason to bask in the glory of this sound palette. This stuff is going to make you move, pal.
