[PREMIERE] UNKNOWN CALLER - SAYONARA

Colorful and melodramatic, Brooklyn’s own Unknown Caller returns with “Sayonara.” Inspired by the new wave cadences of the 80s, and intellectual conversations made across Taipei, Seoul, Kyoto, and Tokyo, “Sayonara” is a melting pot of unique influences. Stitched together with a demanding melodrama, this tapestry of sounds is both familiar and far out. A careful algorithm of isolated, digital chimes work together to create a single framework of vibrant emotions. At the apex of bedroom pop, Unknown Caller’s vocals are distant, sequestered, yet distinctly encompassing. With a DNA of whispering theatrics, subtle vigor, and undeniable glamour, “Sayonara” is a charming venture of resonance. Paralleled with artwork from Taiwanese visual artist, Air Geometry, the single is an artistically sound conception. Tune in. 

FRND - BEFORE U I DIDN’T EXIST

Everyone’s favorite Koala-loving producer/artist FRND is back again with another deliciously glitchy and catchy pop banger. The title offering from his upcoming second EP, “Before U I Didn’t Exist” follows last month’s “Erase.” It’s what one might call an oddly humanist robotic glitch-pop opus, replete with FRND’s signature sugary vocal hooks, futuristic synths and emotional heart-on-his-sleeve lyrics. The production is so unique and crisp, and the catchiness of the underlying composition just makes this one addictive track. There’s even a RAD anime-style video accompanying the release which follows an odd pair of lovers as they embark on a post-apocalyptic adventure to escape Earth. I won’t spoil the ending, so you’ll have to watch it for yourself HERE. Keep your eyes on FRND because he may just be on the verge of blasting off.

AKUREI - RIDE HOME

A stunning blend of electro-R&B, and echoing downtempo pop, Akurei’s “Ride Home” is an enchanting showcase of sounds. With a subtle hip-hop aroma, the Aussie pioneer gives us the second taste of his forthcoming debut EP with “Ride Home.” Saturated with an easy energy, Akurei solidifies his signature cadence with this joint. The track unfolds with a seductive prowess that oscillates a radiating ebb and flow rhythm. A truly fantastic and fearless feat, Akurei is quickly becoming one to watch from Australia, to Europe, to North America- watch this space.

SWARDY - HERE ON MY OWN

Swardy, AKA 1/2 of globally-respected electronic duo The M Machine, has stepped out of his comfort zone to explore his own sound with his debut solo project, 'Here On My Own' EP. This 5-track work of art only goes to prove just how incredibly talented and versatile the artist is as he veers away from The M Machine’s darker, grungier sound to achieve something a bit more celestial.

I personally wanted to highlight the title track, "Here On My Own," as I can’t seem to take it off replay. It’s as soothing as it is uplifting, founded on a dancey beat that absolutely kicks while comprising a melody created through cascading harmonies. Swardy finally ties the piece together with soft, modulated vocals that become an essential component to this beauty of a song. With this EP being the first product of his solo career, all I can say is I certainly hope it’s not the last either.

CHRISLEE - MAKE A MOVE

We’re absolutely delighted to introduce singer and songwriter ChrisLee. His new sugary single, “Make A Move,” provokes all the feels as he combines pop and R&B elements for a result that overflows with summertime vibes. With melodies just as sweet as his voice, and a rhythm that’s utterly irresistible, it makes us wonder why we haven’t covered this guy before.
