March batch of new music

[Joost Schuttelaar]

I really enjoy the recommendations! I tend to listen to all of them. Some get a repeat and some get a like ☺️ I’m happy with it, since not so much new new music reaches me easily, day to day. Apple Music and Spotify don’t work for me in that regard.

Captivating audiences with 'danceable darkwave' and striking multi-layered synthpop vocals. Their memorable hooks and opulent melodies strike a perfect balance between euphoric electro and emotional synthetic orchestration. [My favs here are Passions In The Back Room and the stunningly beautiful Memoirs on Glass]

> Wisconsin’s Null Device are proof positive that synthpop is a far more nuanced musical style than most of its die-hard recreationists or recent converts often take it for. Seventh LP Line Of Sight is very much a continuation of 2016’s heartfelt While You Were Otherwise Engaged, and if anything finds an even more affecting blend of direct songwriting and elegant arrangement. By availing themselves of whichever sounds from synthpop’s now substantive archive suit the song or mood at hand, Null Device have crafted the rare record which has a minutely calculated style of production and instrumentation but still puts core songwriting first. [Really like And I Fall & Heartbeat in the Noise]

> Mördelin
> 
> Mördelin is an audio visual project born in Manchester in 2017. Pascal Carton (also of AccroGeist) and Amy Williams collaborate to create a unique brand of goth-pop to an 80's-inspired backdrop. They initially met in the creative corridors of the Northern Quarter area of Manchester where an intro music session immediately spawned results, a dirty cocktail. The resulting sound is one steeped in retro-goth vibrations. It will appeal to 80's junkies and fans of RetroWave, Goth and Alternative Pop. [Spirals is my fav on this album but it’s really good all on through]
