On their way towards the albumet “Braided Memos” which will be released April 20th, the duo Sameblod have released the song “Loud” as a first taste. And “Loud” certainly deserves it’s name in this bombastic electronica pop. It still echoes in my room and my chair is vibrating from the deep bass.

You can follow Sameblod on Facebook and on Tumblr. The first EP they made last year is available on Bandcamp.

Behind the artist name Pro424 you’ll find Max Karlander. The name comes from the word project and the name of the Tascam portable studio Max used for his first recordings. He’s released two albums so far and the latest one, the EP “Dreams” was released in December; an album with mainly electronica pop fit for the dance floor. The first album “Soundtrack of a Frozen Time”, was released a year ago and went in a completely different direction with more chillout and ambient music.

You can listen to his music on Bandcamp, on Spotify or on Wimp. You can find Pro424 on the home page and on Facebook. Here are two tracks from the latest EP:

Monotonic
At the End

Normally William Hamparsomian plays and writes music in the band Another Nation’s National Anthem. Last year he started writing music on his own and created the project Dream Curtain to have an outlet for these songs.

Here it’s about a dreamy electronica, somewhat lo-fi and far from the band’s guitar driven, alternative rock. He tells that the music is created spontaneouly at the spur of the moment, and that it’s difficult to remember what he thought about when he created it, and that applies to the artist name as well. But now afterwards he finds the word combination quite fitting with the curtain as something to hide behind and the music that is derived from the dreams, from the subconsious mind.

You can listen more on Dream Curtain’s Soundcloud page and follow him on Facebook.

The electronica duo Posttod, which I wrote about a little more than a year ago, is back with a new release. It’s about the 7-track album “Moon”, which you can enjoy on their site. Here’s a range of ideas and textures, from beautiful pieces of ambience to more energetic songs with vibes of synth pop. A really pleasant album to listen to.

The band name is a composition of the word post (in the meaning of after) and the german word for death, tod, which in some view is meant to reflect their thoughts and music.

You can also  find Posttod on Facebook and on Spotify. Here are two songs from “Moon”:

Under the Stars

That Tommy Svensson can handle synths we’ve seen before as I wrote about Yngling in the Autumn. He’s also running a solo project in his own name where he explores different electronic domains.

It’s a rather minimalistic, quirky music where he’s also added vocals on several tracks. And the voice, broken, low-voiced gives it al all a quite special injection to the ambience in the music. You can listen for yourself on his Facebook page or on Spotify. Here are two songs:

Moraali
Uneasy
