“Love Song”
Pop pulses with feeling and fire: Modern Ideas crafts Melbourne garage synth-pop where "plastic dreams, electric romance, and machines hum with human desire" — pure Depeche Mode-meets-New Order DNA. Elly Kace conjures a tender, fierce mysticism on The Seventh Gate, casting spells through strings, analog synths, and intimate conversations with the beloved dead. Safiro debuts with Azure, a debut pop album tracing the full arc of a first love and its heartbreak, while Bene Magdala Sisters deliver a glitchy, club-ready manifesto where sacred ritual meets unapologetic queer power.
“Two early 2022 EPs of electro-industrial experimental pop muzak, newly mastered as one proper album”
“A genre bending ambitious project by Woodworking Machine called Introductory: The Poems Of A Shapeshifter, mainly talking about personal struggle, love, and pain.”
“A love song about being close to another person, yet it still not feeling like enough - for fans of Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab For Cutie.”
