MORLY – Seraphese

morly

“Seraphese” which we’re guessing, especially by judging from the quality and feel of this track, is some sort of angelic lingua franca. The artist is MORLY, an unknown musician from the Twin Cities and “Seraphese” is her stellar introduction to the world/blogosphere.

Cambio Sun – Weight of the World

cambio

Less than 100 likes on facebook, 20 followers on twitter – including the dope Bad Panda Records – with one tweet and one other release in 2013 is Cambio Sun. Either way “Weight of the World” seems appropriate of a title due the heaviness of this song. Pulsing bass, swooning guitar lines and haunting vocals make “Weight of the World” a very cool underground creepier. Listen below. Reviewed by Brian Litwin.

Zola Blood – Meridian

zolablood

UK newcomers Zola Blood created a bit of a break-out earlier this summer with “Grace” which accumulated over 100k spins on Soundcloud and made a run at the upper reaches of the Hypem charts. “Meridian” is the sparse and minimal and quite strong follow-up to “Grace” that is outfitted with a similarly engaging set of cool electronic-flavored instrumentals and great far-off melodic phrasings.

Galimatias – Night Owl

galimatias2

Galimatias is one of our favorite artists in any genre right now. The Danish producer continues to push forward his far-flung and cinematic sounds into new palettes and spaces with each successive release. New one “Night Owl” is much like the name on its tin would indicate quite nocturnal sounding as the track balances deep house-inspired electronics with hushed jazz and hip hop-referencing rhythms.

Aside from the whole oppressive air pressure and scare oxygen supply “Ocean Floor Kisses” do sound quite appealing and so is Danish star producer Galimatias’ low-touch new track.
