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.
