The latest edition of The List features releases from Vehlinggo stalwarts Fawn, Bunny X, NINA & Radio Wolf, and Miami Nights 1984, who are all giving us quality art to help us navigate our wild world. Never let anyone tell you there’s no more good music. Bunny X — Love On A High Floor The […] The post The List: Bunny X, Fawn, NINA & Radio Wolf, Miami Nights 1984 appeared first on Vehlinggo .
“I think we shared the same brain on this project.” It’s his first score. When he started on it, he barely knew what a “cue” was, let alone what composing for a film really entailed. He didn’t have a ton of time to prove himself before the momentum took hold, but he did so to […] The post ‘Obsession’ Score Composer Rock Burwell Is Big On Intuition appeared first on Vehlinggo .
While I’m still curating a score/soundtrack version of The List, I decided to go ahead and share an edition with artists I’ve never covered before. It can get synthy and a bit post-punk, and even tread into territory I don’t normally cover. Enjoy. French Inhaler — “TV LOVE” This song caught my attention for a […] The post The List: Cosmic Darlings, French Inhaler, NOREA, A Days Wait, Mo Troper…
I have a quick three-fer edition of The List for you dear readers today. (A score-focused one is coming soon — Obsession, amirite?) Today you’ll find a healthy offering of experimental fare, paired with a dark and catchy retro number. Enjoy. Daniel Quasar — I Am… The hyper talented Daniel Quasar, creator of the ubiquitous […] The post The List: Daniel Quasar, Discovery Zone, Blone Noble appeared…
Four years ago Michael Oakley, a certified titan of synthwave, wrote in these very pages about the scourge of “copywave,” a somewhat self-explanatory term used to describe knockoff artists mimicking the sound and even visual aesthetic of more popular musicians in the genre’s scene. Hop in the DeLorean and travel to today: Oakley’s just released […] The post Michael Oakley’s Dark (But Hopeful)…
Berlin-based synthwave power couple NINA and Radio Wolf are back with an absolutely stunning new, guitar-driven single. “To See You” is one of those gorgeous, well made songs that hits you like a bolt of lightning and energizes the divine spark within yourself. I eschewed hyperbole years ago, and have been careful to not label […] The post NINA & Radio Wolf Return With The Stunning ‘To See You’…
Just in time for NYC-based Bunny X to drop “Night Moves,” a hot new single from their upcoming album, Love on a High Floor, the duo of Abigail Gordon and Jenny Bates have had a fruitful exchange with Vehlinggo. In this Q&A we did recently, we talk about their lineup change, making music during trying […] The post Checking in with Bunny X appeared first on Vehlinggo .
Missions, that Holodeck project from Lou Rebecca collaborator and synth maestro Josh Mills, has graced these pages a few times. So I figured I’d share a little something interesting Mills posted to Instagram not long ago (but which I forgot to write about at the time he did share it). Apparently, he was called to […] The post What Does Holodeck’s Missions Have To Do With Oscar Isaac In ‘Beef’?…
It’s been a fruitful week for synthwave fans who love well-crafted pop songs from talented Scots fowk. A week after we got a new FM-84 track, out comes the inimitable Michael Oakley with the massive single “World of Promises” (with backing vocals by Dana Jean Phoenix) and its impressively executed music video. Oh, and did […] The post Michael Oakley Returns With The Explosive ‘World Of Promises’…
I’ve put together a slightly-but-not-really eclectic edition of The List today. It features some Vehlinggo stalwarts, along with a wild collab, some horror bliss, a song that isn’t exactly new but about which I haven’t yet written, and some chest-thumping on my part. In other words, a pretty typical The List. To be fair, the […] The post The List: Fangoria, Tom Waits and Massive Attack, FM-84,…
