Edition #130
This week, we recommend the new songs by TALYA & Kurty Co, Cora Novoa, Subaqua, BENN, and Lisheva x Pastelfuneral.
TALYA – useless (feat. Kurty Co)
What sounds ethereal in the beginning soon morphs into a subtly pumping track—maintaining its metaphysical energy. Useless by 24-year-old TALYA is an exceptional collaboration with producer Kurty Co, unifying the mystical of folk and the exuberance of electronica. Beautiful!
Cora Novoa – No Faith, No Fear
Barcelona-based DJ and producer Cora Novoa explores the complexity of humanity in the digital age in her upcoming album. No Faith, No Fear is a first preview, a glimpse into a post-modernity—built on fierce synthesizers, foggy vocals, and experimental will.
Subaqua – Naked
Subaqua's Naked displays their impactful songwriting capacity. The rising Swiss duo maintains a plain, sparse composition—it sounds raw, direct, and vulnerably honest. Walking the line between sharing and restraint, Naked is an impactful, heavy song that creeps under your skin.
BENN – In My Head
Finnish-Swedish alt-pop artist BENN revisits memories of insecurity and lack of self-esteem, meandering between uncertainty and hope. In My Head is a striving ballad driven by BENN's emotional, melodic voice. Yes, it's lingering closely to kitsch, but with a melancholic edge.
Lisheva & Pastelfuneral – Thelxiepeia
Thelxiepeia is one of the most renowned sirens in Greek mythology, but it is also the creative child of Lisheva and Pastelfuneral. And like a siren, the track is haunting, drawing you down into the escalating depths of hyper-pop-inspired electronic sounds. Unexpected and definitely only for some.
