Synths, shadows, and new wave swagger: NYC duo The Mystic Underground deliver Drowning, a pulsating lament of unrequited love that's equal parts menacing and enticing, while SOFT RIOT's Crux balances minimalism, mild psychedelia, and DIY synth spirit in the vein of Fad Gadget and early Human League. Melbourne's Modern Ideas finds beauty in plastic dreams and electric romance, and David Von Beahm's Half Life gets deeply guitar-driven and introspective about mortality and mid-life choices. Montreal's Ways of Hiding rounds things out with post-punk new wave grit.
