More Blissful Pop from Ablebody

3408002343-1Just a few weeks ago we talked to you about the upcoming release from Ablebody, the newest project of Christoph Hochheim. (formerly of Depreciation Guild/POBPAH).  I’m bringing you another excellent track from his upcoming All My Everybody EP, which will actually be available for everyone tomorrow.  On this latest single, there’s a subtle electronic undertone, built perfectly to accompany the gentle tonal quality in Christoph’s voice.  Slowly but surely he’s making a name for himself on his own, and after listening to this EP, it’s well deserved.

New Synth Pop From Ice Choir

Drummer for Pains of Being Pure at Heart Kurt Feldman has always been the one in the group who seems to keep himself busy during lulls with his full time band.  Between his time with his original group Depreciation Guild, POBPAH, and now with newer group Ice Choir, the guy gets around.  His current project Ice Choir just released their very first 7″ single “Two Rings” via Shelflife Records a couple days ago and we’re pretty pumped to pick it up.  The style truly embodies the genre synth pop and confirms that the return of new wave is in full force.

New Music From Depreciation Guild

Our friends over at The Music Slut debuted this brand new tune from Depreciation Guild on Friday.  The track, “Crucify You”, will appear on the band’s upcoming LP Spirit Youth which comes out next month.  It’s got a similar twee sound we grew to love from POBPAH and promises good things for this trio.
