[Download] I Am Snow Angel’s ‘Let Me Go’ & ‘Grey White December’

We weren’t sure if I Am Snow Angel was called I Am Snow Angel, or whether it was just Snow Angel and the ‘I Am’; was added because all the Snow Angel usernames were taken. But apparently it is I AM Snow Angel, which has actually got a nice ring to it. Julie Kathryn is a New York based SynthPop artist with a sweet line in dreamy electronic sounds and is gearing up for the February release of her début EP. Check out two of the releases tracks right now.

Let Me Go is a swirling embrace of calming synthesizer sounds and one of the most interesting voices we’ve come across this year. Kathryn’s distinct voice conveys both a fragility and a deep passion as she half lilts, half growls her way through the song. Pulsating arpeggios and haunting keys form the undercurrent of the track, which carries and almost ScaniPop flavour, making what would be a gentle, ethereal track suitable for the dancefloor. Grey White December delivers more of the same, but with a husky soul to the vocals and a Chillwave feel to the beat heavy, smokey music. I Am Snow Angel is definitely one to keep an eye on in 2014.

♫ I Am Snow Angel – Let Me Go

♫ I Am Snow Angel – Grey White December

I Am Snow Angel’s début EP is due out 18th February.

[Audio] Walter Sobcek’s ‘No Blue Skies’

New tracks from French duo Walter Sobcek are too few and far between, but always something special when they arrive. We’ve been following these guys since day one and reckon 2014 should be the year Walter Sobcek get the recognition the deserve. This new tune is a cover of Lloyd Cole’s No Blue Skies. slip into some comfortable Dreamwave vibes.

With a hefty dose of blissed out sounds, Walter Sobcek glide their way through the track. Coasting on sweet retro synths and a walking bassline. Swooshing chords pair with gentle plucked guitar to cosy up to some restrained vocals and a hint of vocoder in a track that curls out of the speakers like smoke. The guys arte in the process of finishing up their début album, which includes collaborations with the likes of Lifelike and Mereki, we can’t wait.

[Video] Chlöe Howl’s ‘Rumour’

Here’s the video for Chlöe Howl’s energetic song Rumour. It’s actually not the first video for the track, but we guess someone smart at her label though the track was deserving of a second, bigger budget, outing. We agree.

The video has a chess tournament in it. We’re sure that means something but we’re not sure what. It looks awesome though.

[Download] A.N.D.Y. reMixes Anna Lunoe’s ‘Breathe’

Ready for something bassy and boomy? Here’s Belgian electronic Maestro A.N.D.Y.’s reMix of Anna Lunoe recent single Breathe. A.N.D.Y.’s giving the track away as he’s got a lot to celebrate. Being signed to Sony Music, handled by Live Nation and a string of festival appearances added up to a killer 2013 for the man. He’s particularly Belgian reMix is the perfect way to end the year.

Kicking off with a early Electro beat, loaded with B-Boy vibes, the track soon charges head first into the realms of mid-80s Belgian EBM. Clanging Industrial percussion and, metallic, sampled riffs conjure up a back-clad stomp which you would thing contrasted with the tracks House roots, or the the big piano House breakdowns in the reMix, but it really doesn’t. Add a sprinkling of Acidic burbling and you’ve got a melting pot of electronic awesome.

[Audio] Lightwaves’ ‘Starting To Believe’

It looks like one of our favourite producers, Lightwaves, is finally ready to hit the big time. Lightwaves music has come in dips over the past couple of years, including a reMix of She’s The Queen’s Talk To Me, electronic rumors first single release. The ex-Yes Giantess man Jan Rosenfeld is back, this time with a full band, has launched a brand new single, a new fuller ElectroPop sound, and what promised to be the start of a stratospheric career.

It;s really Jan’s vocals that push this over the edge from being infection, euphoric ElectroPop into the realms of true anthem. The meeting of huge, emotive, synth riffs, epic, impassioned vocals and a driving rhythm section make this one of those songs that delivers an emotional rush as well as making you want to get up out of your seat. American, post Indie-Electro, SynthPop at it’s finest.

Four of electronic rumors’ finest artists have generously devoted their time to covering their favourite Christmas songs for X-Mas Rumors, and EP whose entire earnings with be going to the Alzheimer’s Society.

electronic rumors newcomer (and Vulture Music veteran) Kids At Midnight work some kind of silky magic on Wham!’s Last Christmas, while the 60’s classic Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Darlene Love gets an energetic retro ElectroPop re-envisioning by SynthWaver Let Em Riot. New York ElectroPoppers She’s The Queen deliver their upbeat take on Stevie Wonder’s classic What Christmas Means To Me and the EP plays out with electronic experimentalist beaumont intricate take on Little Drummer Boy.
