Laura Groves – "Dream Story"

A War zone - Pilooski Mix

The musical and layered sound Marius produces is the result of a calculating and visual approach to music creation. His cinematic sound strives to embody a narrative quality, avoiding traditional pop structure for instead more linear results. The use of mainly instrumental tracks conjures scenes of cinematic proportions, like 60s era James Bond. The rippling sonic delight of NON's newest starlet avoids traditional categorization with powerful results. Yet, the total of the six track EP shows a surprising unity within it’s wide palette.

Order now: http://colder.tmstor.es/

Bataille is proud to simultaneously unleash two new parts to the Colder story: Goodbye, a swaggering groove-laden album of synthesised jagged guitars and dynamic electronica, and The Rain, a more experimental record of glacial ambience and New Wave expressionism.

The Invisble Real That Hurts

The Invisible Real That Hurts (Danalogue Dirty Orbit Mix)

The Altar +++++

The girls are picking flowers
Dangling at the sides of their hands

Somewhere else someone else feels worse
Forget that the sun is in the universe
Somewhere else someone else feels worse
A life of compassion feels so rehearsed
Somewhere else someone else feels worse
Forget to remember your own worth
Somewhere else someone else feels worse
All your regret cannot be reversed
All your regret cannot be reversed
All your regret cannot be reversed

The Altar (Ruined By Yves Tumor)

Dance driven future pop that perhaps belongs in a Berlin nightclub circa 2040, Embedded Figures has paved a venomous, dark disco path in the NZ electronic underground before relocating to Melbourne in 2017.

PoB-049
June 28, 2019

Mega Bog is the fluid musical moniker of songwriter Erin Elizabeth Birgy, who has spent the last ten years channeling, capturing, and releasing her unique bouquet of fragrant, sci-fi pop experiments with a handful of bicoastal collaborators. She is joined on her fifth and finest album (and first for PoB) by members of Big Thief, Hand Habits, and iji, who help her spin a manic web of emotions into beautiful, abstract future poems and thrilling genre perversions.

RIYL: Laurie Anderson, Slapp Happy, Kevin Ayers, Bridget St John, Beefheart, Bowie, Cate Le Bon, Ursula K. Le Guin

Prismatic avant-pop that balances warbling melodies with unexpected bursts of frenetic energy. 'Diary of a Rose' is a lush representation of Birgy's ability to evoke warmth and nostalgia while keeping her gaze to the future. – NPR Music

It joins Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising and Big Thief's UFOF as one of 2019's left field pop gems, a record created with no detectable consciousness of a wider scene but with a bedroom-wide sense of possibility. Birgy's songs are tangles, unconcerned with hooks, verses, choruses, while floating melodic ideas are addictive precisely because they don't repeat but play themselves out then disappear. Part prog, part easy listening, warm and engulfing... a shimmering chiaroscuro [of] fully fledged delicious pop. Dolphine pulls off the trick of making the small scale feel all-encompassing. – The Wire

8/10. Sonic fantasia from a poetic mind… a whimsical and devastating cosmic journey through loss and healing. It’s part folk-rock fantasy, part avant-pop mind trip, and all gorgeous. With lush sonic layers that are alternately raw and delicate, Dolphine translates as a series of dream worlds where the confessional meets the fantastical, and lost ones live forever. – Uncut

"The weirding way got weirder," Erin Birgy sings, sounding like Nico at her spookiest, a lovely summation of her beguilingly crooked guitar playing. Fans of Cate Le Bon, look sharp. – The Guardian

Somewhere between the mystical landscapes of prog rock and the familiar breeze of easy-listening radio... It sounds something like the 'energize' effect on Star Trek as transposed for a jazz band ... the music is vast and refined, hinting at chaos but never quite losing control. The band is equally adept at sweeping you away and pulling you in. – Pitchfork

A lounge track for the lobby of a passenger ship floating through space, Mega Bog’s 'Truth in the Wild' toys with the earthly and the cosmic. Frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Erin Birgy guides listeners on a mystical adventure." – Cool Hunting

Absurdly good. She blurs the lines between the surreal and the profound in a way that she seems able to do like none other... "Diary of a Rose" is a stunning introduction to the new record, a jazzy/breezy gem with vaguely sinister undertones, teeming with Birgy’s unforgettably peculiar and vivid lyrical phrasing and the kind of deceptively labyrinthine melodies and slithering guitar lines that made the band’s last LP Happy Together such a compelling, unsung masterpiece and one of the best records of the last half-decade. – Gorilla vs. Bear

Starts off mossy and inviting, but then builds to an impressive tempest of wailing guitars. Spectral, at times suave and smooth, and baroque. She's not quite like anybody else. – Brooklyn Vegan

I’m forever dumbfounded by the raw intimacy and alien sophistication of Erin’s work. It’s dream music of the highest order. – Jessica Pratt

The whole experience is a pristinely surreal excursion. – Paste Magazine

Imagine an adventure game quest with Yoko Ono as your guide, or Laurie Anderson doing her best David Attenborough impression: a deep, joyful abstraction that draws to a pure, human conclusion. – Pitchfork
