We posted Aussie Indie-ElectroPoppers Strange Talk’s new single Falling In Love back in November last year. it;s a cool track indeed, but it’s only just getting a video, which seems like a promotional missed boat, but there we are.
The clip is directed by Costa Vakas and sees Strange Talk raving their asses off basically. which, if you know the track, you’ll probably agree works pretty well.
Strange Talk’s Falling In Love is out now.

We were going to write about this track, Sweedish IcePop siblings The Knife’s long awaited return single, Full Of Fire, last week, Using the Juno stream of the track. Then the Juno stream got pulled and there hasn’t been a stream of the whole song from an official source since, so out words went to waste. Today, the video dropped, so we can present the song is all it’s glory. A beautiful and engaging nine minute epic and everything we’d want from a The Knife track. At points the track feels more like being privy to a special The Knife live jam session as the duo constantly evolve the popping drums and abrasive synths. More true to the original ethos of Industrial Music that anything released in the past two decades, this Coldwave oddessy is made all the more appealing by Karin Dreijer Andersson’s welcoming vocals.
The video is a short film by Stockholm and Berlin-based feminist director Marit Östberg, who had this to say “The film ‘Full Of Fire’ consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else.”
Full Of Fire is taken from The Knifes forthcoming album, Shaking The Habitual, released 8th April,

Swedish Electro cat botherers Lissi Dancefloor Disaster are gearing up for the release of their new album, Waves. In advance of this, here’s the video for their first single of the year, Try.

Here’s the official video for San Francisco funkmeister Viceroy and Dreamwave songstress Chela’s frankly amazing new single, Dream Of Bombay. This breezy slice of feel-good Dreamwave has been on repeated round these parts for a while now, and the video is so cool.

Karftwerkian legend Karl Bartos’s first single from his new album Off The Record, is finally here. Strap yourself in for some icy snyths and robotic vocals.
The video is, possible deliberately, really early 90s EBM. All inverted colours and cheap video effects. Probably quite fitting.
Karl Bartos’ Atomium is released 1st February. Off the Record is released in March.

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:
Two of our favourite tracks this week, starting with the mighty Cabaret Voltaire and 1983’s Just Fascination.
And Renegades Of Funk!, also from 1983, one of Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force best.

Here’s a cool video that Russian Dreamwave/ElectroPop champions Tesla Boy have put together for the B-side of their recent Split single, Another Light.
It’s 80s as hell, and so shiny that it hurts to watch, like staring at the sun.

there’s a brand new video from Uncle TNUC! The originator of the edited up Dreamwave video is back, and this time he;s tackling Steve Moore’s beautiful Dawn Of Primordial Life.
TNUC goes with the flow on this one. Mixing up an 80s caveman (not sure of source) and some plains nature, TNUC tells a pretty compelling narrative.
