premiere

This month Barcelona psychedelic/post-rock/IDM duo The Suicide Of Western Culture release their third album, Long Live Death! Down With Intelligence!, on Primavera Sound’s El Segell label. TSOFWC’s sprawling new single “Amor De Madre” has been turning heads, and we’re pleased to world premiere the song’s accompanying music video directed by acclaimed film/visual artist César Pesquera.

“My video clip is a surrealistic and psychedelic hybrid between Paris, Texas and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind,” Pesquera says of the video. “It tells the story of two characters who — moved by the desire of returning to the mother’s womb — travel through the desert in search of that primeval bond.”

Get a first look at the majestic clip below.

What do you get when you put together Thomas Hoffding of Danish electronic popsters WhoMadeWho and up-and-coming singer Jenny Rossander? Why, you get Lydmor & Bon Homme, the duo that’s set to release its debut album, Seven Dreams of Fire, on November 6 via HFN Music. The pair’s blend of old-school synth-pop, disco, and house influences, among other things, makes their idiosyncratic brand of electro-pop stand out from the pack. The tune “Dream of Fire” boasts a perky-but-atmospheric feel, full of bubbling synths and the vocal give-and-take of the two principals. The video is equally evocative, cast in a stark black and white with a minimum of visual fuss, striking a memorable mood that perfectly complements the music. Check the premiere below.
