From the dance floors of the new wave underground: NYC duo The Mystic Underground deliver a menacing, pulsating plea against emotional imprisonment with Drowning, equal parts lament and club-ready darkness, while SOFT RIOT's Crux cruises through minimalist synth post-punk with subtle humor and mild psychedelia in the spirit of Fad Gadget and early Simple Minds. Melbourne's Modern Ideas finds beauty in artificiality with dramatic, cinematic garage synth-pop where plastic dreams hum with human desire. David Von Beahm's Half Life goes deeply introspective on mortality and choices, and Montreal's Glass Dolls rounds things out with bedroom pop meditations on love and grief.
