LexiconDon’s ‘City Lies’

lexicondon

We’ve Burned and wondered Where We Went, now we can get our third taste of Dreamwave original gangsters LexiconDon’s new album in the form of City Lies, their new single. We’ve seen a variety of new sounds in these previews of the album, as Alex stretches his musical wings, and City Lies adds some new flavour to the mix.

There’s a raw feel to the track. Machine beats, white noise snares and slight distortion on the vocals give LexiconDon’s laid back LA sound a new live, garage dimension. One of LexiconDon’s greatest strengths is Aex’s narrative in his songs. More than many other bands, you always get a real sense of what he’s singing about, capturing the mood and imparting it to the listener perfectly. This strength shines through in City Lies, both musically and lyrically as Alex wears his heart on his sleeve, lamenting the complications of relationships set to a late night urban soundtrack.

Worship’s ‘Forever Orion’

worship

Even though the presses are still warm on Swiss Dreamwave master Worship’s new release, a collection of reMixes from his Horizon EP, he’s already prepping his next single. A funky little number called Forever Orion, to be released in a few weeks.

Forever Orion eases you into it’s groove with some sweet synth Disco. Bringing a slight Tropical flavour to Worship’s work, the first two minutes of Forever Orion have a Sci-Fi ‘70’s Disco feel to get people butts moving. Then rushing into the midway point the track hit you big a big, raw, SynthWave lead, adding a little hands-in-the-air big room atmosphere to the tune. Coming equipped with a reMix from Sp00nfed amongst others, this single is sure to make some waves with smooth Electro Disco lovers.

Crystal Castles’ ‘Wrath Of God’

Crystal Castles

Crystal Castles are seriously starting to work toward the release of their third album, titled (III), which we presume means it’s actually titled Crystal Castles again. Wrath Of God is the second track from the forthcoming record to be released.

(III) has been produced entirely by CC’s Ethan Kath in a computer free zone. Everything has been, apparently, recorded directly to tape (which will make their live shows interesting), that;s not to say there is still a lot of drum programming and arpeggiating going on. Wrath Of God is a majestic tune, more haunting than we’re used to from CC and may be an indication of the different mood on the new album. The booming beat, bit-crunched synths and distant, wailing, vocals are still present, but tempered with a misty production style and shimmering, ghostly, piano. The album should be an interesting affair.

Casio Social Club & Elijah Collins reMix Tad Wily

Tad Willy

The track Garage Love originally appeared on London Funkster Tad Wily’s Right Fit EP on Mullet Records. Now the track is getting a reMix EP of it’s own, headed up by work from Mullet’s own Casio Social Club.

Casio Social Club’s Justin really brings the smooth boogie with this reMix. Whilst keeping it danceable in a robo-synth style, Casio Social Club wash the track in a slick and sexy laid back vibe. Warm vintage synth sounds drift over a choppy synth Funk bassline while stanches of subtly vocoded vocals ebb and flow around the track. It’s well and truly in Casio Social Clubs’ romantic Electro Boogie Disco style and would move any summer dancelfoor. Elijah Collins takes the track down dark, funky, Electro alleyways with ominous robot vocals and a deep groove that reminds us of a modern Cybotron. It’s a B-Boy boogie with a disco beat, the perfect combination.

♫ Tad Wily – Garage Love (Casio Social Club ‘Time After Time’ reMix)

Tad Wily’s Garage Love reMixed is released 2nd October on Juno, 16th October elsewhere.

Le Roi Crocodile

Le Roi Crocodile

Le Roi Crocodile is Vancouver based musician who is making some really interesting spacey Electro-IndiePop. Amazingly, this guy is just 16 years old, which is totally overshadowed by the maturity in his music.

His latest track is Youth Decay, which is a combination dreamlike Chillwave soundscape and summery Indie hit. With an endearing BedroomPop vibe, this young producer conjures up a reverb-washed laid back groove and an infectious hook. Waves of warm synths spill over Youth Decay, spacing themselves out to make room for the punchy lead riff and the half-sung/half-rapped vocals. This is only his second production but already he has the Lo-Fi Chill thing down pat, Le Roi Crocodile is definitely a name to keep an eye on in the future.
