Trentemøller on KEXP

I was on a late-night scroll when KEXP’s brand-new session popped into my feed, and I’m so glad I pressed play. Danish sound-designer Anders Trentemøller turns up with a razor-tight five-piece—he handles guitar and synths, Icelandic singer Dísa drifts at center stage, backed by bass, drums, and a guitar/keys multitasker. Tracked 11 Feb 2025 and posted in April, the 23-minute set bottles the widescreen tension of his current tour.

They open with “I Give My Tears”: woozy bass, gated snares, then a shoegaze blast that floods the room. “Dreamweavers” starts as short-wave hiss, locates a heartbeat pulse, and finally soars into a synth-pop sunrise that’s sad yet strangely hopeful. “Nightfall” circles a dusk-lit guitar loop; Dísa’s gauzy vocal floats until the band swells into full cinematic drama. For the finale they time-warp to 2013 with “Still On Fire,” ripping off the dream-pop gauze—industrial kicks, serrated bass, cold-wave guitars igniting dark-club euphoria. KEXP’s mix captures every analog echo and tom rattle, so cue the headphones. If you drifted from Trentemøller after Lost, this video is a perfect reason to dive back in—and share it forward.

Ai Review: flypaper - "old friend"

radioelectronauts.com

In a landscape teeming with auditory experiences, flypaper's latest single "old friend" emerges as a poignant chronicle of relational ebbs and flows. Rory Sear, the creative force behind flypaper, once again captures the essence of indie rock's introspective side with a track that delves deep into the heart of change, longing, and the timeless dance of friendship.  "old friend" is an odyssey through the realms of nostalgia, uncertainty, and hope, masterfully encapsulated within the confines of a four-minute musical journey. The song’s reflective and somewhat melancholic tone is immediately engaging, drawing listeners into a narrative that is both personal and universally relatable. The narrative probes the resilience of connections as they weather the storms of distance and life's inevitable challenges. With an undercurrent of nostalgia and a palpable longing for a return to simpler times, Sear navigates the complexities of human relationships with a delicate precision that is both moving and profound.  Musically, "old friend" straddles various genres, comfortably situating itself in the interstices of indie rock, alternative rock, and pop rock, with touches of indie pop and dream pop. Its lo-fi and shoegaze elements add layers of texture, creating an immersive soundscape that complements the song's thematic depth. The choice of instruments – guitar, drums, bass, synthesizer, and piano – works in harmony to evoke a mood that is simultaneously melancholic, reflective, intimate, nostalgic, and peaceful.

flypaper's new EP another orbit is due out May 10 via PNKSLM Recordings

Solar Temple Suicides

ARTIST / BAND: Solar Temple Suicides

SONG (MP3): "A Rough Road Leads To The Stars"

ALBUM: Sentinels of the Heliosphere

FILE UNDER:  Shoegaze / Psychedelic / Rock

LABEL: Sleepy Records

INFO: Since their formation, Solar Temple Suicides have slowly been perfecting their own brand of drugged out, spacey haze. They preach long and tall effects-laiden, psychedelic lessons culled from ancient Yajurvedas of transformation and trial by fire, thrust from the sun to the outer edges of the universe. Their unabashed space rock tendencies and hallucinatory walls of sound drive their high volume live shows. Not fitting neatly into any extant mold, Solar Temple Suicides gather their influences together to form their own nebula.

Sun Airway

ARTIST / BAND: Sun Airway

MP3s : "Oh, Naoko" / "Casual" (Here We Go Magic Remix)

ALBUM: Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier

FILE UNDER: Shoegaze / Indie Pop

LABEL: Dead Oceans

INFO: The first time Sun Airway's crackling pop sounds made their way through our speakers, we heard what felt like the lost soundtrack to the next Sofia Coppola film; atmospheric yet catchy, hazy but somehow vital and immediate. Sun Airway has hit on the sweet spot where infectious hooks and cerebral electronic pop intersect, pulling textural sound and pop songcraft into one. It is hard to imagine namedropping both the Strokes and Animal Collective when describing a single band, but that is exactly what Pitchfork has done with Sun Airway, while describing "Put the Days Away" and "Infinity," two tracks from the band's debut album, Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier.

Pacific Theater

ARTIST / BAND: Pacific Theater
MP3: "Lions"
ALBUM: Animals At Night
FILE UNDER: New Wave / Visual / Shoegaze
LABEL: Whale Heart Records
INFO: Brooklyn quartet Pacific Theater recorded their full-length debut "Animals at Night," an artful blend of New Wave, Art Rock, and Shoegaze, with Mark Lawson at Montreal studio Petite Eglise. The band began when two co-workers from NYC's Bowery Ballroom, Dan Ryan and Adam Travis, tried out a few songs together. Dan quickly enlisted his old bandmate Daniel Bellury and the trio spent a year writing the album and playing shows. Realizing another component was needed, Adam petitioned his old friend Gina Yates to come aboard. With the addition of Gina, the band was able to fully realize their signature sound: a balancing act of sonic assault, pulsing rhythms, and a light layer of delicate melodies.
