Jon Hood Shares Loud and Clear

Leave a comment

Imagine a world where bands like Dry Cleaning and Dummy intermingled. This is a land that fuses explorative electronics with the breakdown of modern post-punk, and that is the land where you’ll find Switzerland’s Jon Hood. There are elements of the vocals that feel like faint whispers, all of it kind of crafted as if it was a sample pushing from beneath the bubbling pulse of the rhythm section; there are certain moments that overlap too, reminiscent of the glorious days of Broadcast and Life Without Buildings. There’s just so many things to adore about this track, but most of all, it has me salivating at what’s in store when they drop Pieces of Reality!

East Sister Share Mixtape Single

Leave a comment

Woke up feeling a little groggy this morning, so listening to the newest single from Swiss outfit East Sister takes pop music and scratches at the cobwebs in my brain, in the best way. The synthetic notes are carefully orchestrated, as if the group is sort of tip-toeing around you, trying to find the best way to get into your head. Softened vocal touches do a great job of building in a melodic note that lets your mind drift far away whilst still being tethered to your body. Thematically, its a love story, to both a companion and the world of music, hopefully putting the group on the map as we await their new LP!

Brand New Pet Owner Single

Leave a comment

As you’ve likely noticed, I’ve been really high upon Swiss artist Pet Owner, and as we turn towards the end of the year, there’s one more single left for your ears. This one’s a bit more sedated, leaving the breathy vocals provide the melodic hook that is omnipresent in the artist’s work. You will find some subtle little builds working through the tune too, like just after the one minute mark when the production drops in a careful beat that unfolds and flexes the pop muscle. Careful playfulness with strongly crafted melodies leaves little hints that Second Nature, her new album, will get some repeat listens in 2026.

New Single from Fiona Fiasco

Leave a comment

Normally, I like to kick off my Fridays with a banger, but felt like offering this new Fiona Fiasco single might be something that could set the tone for a reflective morning before bounding into the weekend. The production is really careful not to step across the vocals, as that’s one of the highlights of the tune, listening as Fiona lets her voice sort of rise, crest, then turn away in each poetic lines. In her approach, I can hear the artistry of Cate le Bon, and while the arrangements are careful, the way the strings buoy the emotions within makes the song swell with beauty. Definitely someone to keep your eye upon!

Metrophobia Share Lena Single

Leave a comment

I didn’t have Swiss duo Metrophobia on my bingo card, but I should have, as I’m totally digging on their latest bit of blissed out pop. Just imagine the world of Jesus and the Mary Chain, but pull away the walls of distortion and reverb; you get this clarity, highlighting the natural melody that both bands work with. I love the brightness, highlighted by the blossoming guitar working beneath the buzzsaw grind. Huge vocals wash over it all, drenching this song in a warmth that certainly resonates on my end of things. If big guitar sounds are your thing, get ready to turn this one to 11.

Jon Hood Share Primrose

Leave a comment

Big can of Primrose Daycare System, and big fan of this new jam, “Primrose,” by Swedish outfit Jon Hood. It slides right into my recent move back into a more electronic brand of indie rock, a la the Melenas and a million other acts we could name drop for cool points. The whole track feels like a sprint around a track, catching your breath momentarily, then racing back to catch your opponents. There are some tight little turns this way and that from the guitars, not to mention some heavy underground buzzing, all building in the textural balance that made me love this jam.

Pet Owner Announces Second Nature

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for a nice dosage of pop this morning, can I turn you onto Pet Owner; the Swiss artist announces her latest LP, Second Nature. Her work is all about musical quilting; she carefully layers texture after texture in a synthetic structure, and this go round it’s a delicate bit of bedroom pop. The negative space on the track perfectly opens the tune for the vocals, allowing them do drift in and out of the musical cracks and filling them with magical melodies. Second Nature is slated for a release early next year, so expect us to return with a handful more singles for you!

Dreamy New Tune From Deleterolf

Leave a comment

Things will likely be a bit slow this week as people shut ease into a holiday weekend on Friday. Before then, we of course have a few songs to throw your way for mid-week and weekend vibing. Though it’s early yet, this new track called “Used to Be” from Zurich based artist deleterolf is my frontrunner for your track of the week. It has a super dreamy, yet driving vibe to it an gives off the quiet beauty of say Efterklang mixed with Beach House. I am sure you’ll love it.

Mnevis Share T.K. Collider

Leave a comment

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Swiss outfit Mnevis after the release of their debut Episodes; they’ve gotten a bit of praise for folks that are inclined to digest Radiohead’s catalog in one sitting. Take, for instance, this new sprawling opus; it flirts with you as if it were a piece of mundane pop, utilizing autotune and synthetic beats to gets its hooks in you. And, as you’re satisfied with the pleasantries, it unfolds with both beats and vocals dousing themselves in a more pure form at the motorik beat rings true. Now’s your chance to be on the front lines of what’s cool in Switzerland…plus just enjoy a nice little morning musical marathon.

Soft Single from Unknown Vagabond

Leave a comment

It’s always nice to open up on a Wednesday with something softly spoken, like Swiss artists Unknown Vagabond. The latest single from the project works carefully over these ornate guitar pluckings, with an underlying bit of buzz blossoming, taking the song from this harrowing sentiment to something filled with promise. You can feel the sun begin to creep up in the distance, awakening as you might be, a fresh hope on the horizon. There’s this slight shift too around the 2.5 minute mark, bringing in an even more intimate moment for the listener. Eventually, drums kick in, careful not to overstep the preceding layers of melody, and it all cascades into a slow fade into the distance. Immerse yourself below.
