x KALI UCHIS | LONER x

The most exciting talent to emerge this year, singer, song-writer and producer Kali Uchis releases a new video for 'Loner', taken from her critically adulated mixtape 'Por Vida'. Directed by both herself and Andy Hines, this dreamy, seductive video stays true to its title, featuring Kali alone with only a dazzling montage of pink neon lights as company. Inspired by "mermaids, call-girls, the actress Mia Farrow, the film Scarface, and the director Quentin Tarantino", it serves as both the perfect companion to the sweetly soul-drenched tone of the song and an announcement of one of 2016's most exciting stars.

x IDEOMOTOR | WHEN WE BEGIN x

Finnish Indie-electronic duo Ideomotor released the new track, 'When We Begin', in close succession of the recent single Amplified, which received high praise around the online community.

Band member Erkka Wennonen described the long songwriting process for this particular track, and how taking it back to basics with  a minimal soundscape improved the message behind it.

"Our producer Sami Baldauf came to the rescue / stripped everything to the minimum and really found the essence of the song. In the end it turned out to be some of our strongest work to date in our opinion and actually catches the essence of what the song was all about in the first place – the moments when things take a new direction, be it either consciously by choice or the times when we’re utterly unaware of the significance of them."

x MIAMIGO | IRREVERSIBLE x

Today MIAMIGO premiere the stunning new visual to 'Irreversible', a track taken from their critically acclaimed debut EP 'Hard to Love' released in June via their own label Indian Hop Recordings.

The band have been simmering along for the past year, dominating the Hype Machine blogs with their elegant alt-electronic pop. 

MIAMIGO have compiled a soothing mix of old and new favourites of the band for a mixtape titled "Songs to Dance Alone To".  The mixtape premiered on Clash last Friday and reflects the duo's inspiration behind their trademark 'dark-pop' sound.

On the mixtape, lead vocalist Liam explains "I believe these songs are to be listened to alone. You can dance to them. You can reminisce. Some old, some new, these songs reflect a multitude of moods that conjure memories of our dreams and inspirations growing up and our musical muses as MIAMIGO. When I listen to these tracks on headphones I feel like I'm in a film. Like I'm part of an evolving story. The melodies create a euphoric feel in me that I find addictive. Perhaps you'll agree?"

New Song Premiere - Infinity Girl - "Not Man"

Brooklyn, NY's Infinity Girl are Interview Magazine's latest 'Discovery', calling their new song "Not Man", "an experimental kaleidoscope full of twinkling synths and pulsating bass lines, reminiscent of a breezier version of Julian Casablancas's solo album Phrazes for the Young."

Guitarist/vocalist Nolan Eley tells Interview, "There are some sweet melodies lurking under hideous distortions."


Check out a Q&A with the band and stream "Not Man" here.

STREAM 'NOT MAN' ON SOUNDCLOUD HERE

Infinity Girl's Topshelf Records debut, 'Harm', is out on August 28 and is now available for pre-order here.

Forged in the crucible of the Boston underground and now based in Brooklyn, New York, Infinity Girl is a four-piece American guitar band. The act emerged in 2012 with a startlingly whole and reverent shoegaze sound on its debut full length, 'Stop Being On My Side,' a set that was equal parts haunting melody and ear-bleeding power. An EP, 'Just Like Lovers,' followed in late 2012 and again propounded Infinity Girl's refreshing proclivity for bending classic song forms toward its will to experiment. More recently the band has taken its music to a darker and more dynamic place informed by both classic post-punk sounds and an increasingly formidable ability to meld noise and hooks in exciting, surprising ways.
