Public Circuit - Only In My Dreams
post punk
NY post-punker Ethan Biamont, AKA Public Circuit, delivers a swirling blast of arpeggiated synths, frantic drum machines, and cerebral melodies to create something akin to Suicide, but with a sound more drawn from 8-bit culture. At two minutes and eleven seconds, it's a short track, but it's not possible to listen only once, so consider it more like six minutes and thirty-three seconds. From the upcoming EP "A New Idol".
indie rock
BADVRIL is an artist from California, and his recent track, "Tall Sam", has a warm sweetness that feels like eating fresh oranges as the sun goes down over the ocean. Home-recorded rock tunes almost always result in an unpleasing muddy mid-fi, but here BADVRIL capitalizes on the warmth of his bedroom to create a soft indie-rock track characterized by hushed vocals, cool playing, and a dynamic song structure that rises from low-light indie to more epic proportions.
