Back in July our buddies from the The Enchantments sent in a few songs from their upcoming album The heavenly sounds of the…Enchantments, now you can download the whole thing from their bandcamp page. Their abrasive blend of toy keyboard bubblegum covered in murky tape dust has an innocent quality thats sure to please. Besides their poppy quirkiness they also incorporate psychedelic influences into their sound with spacy layers of vintage sythns that create cosmic backdrops of celestial proportions dirtied up with blow out guitar-twang and underwater vocals.
Throw some stank on it and get down and dirty with LAY BAC’S ghost disco track “Stay out tonight”. Also download a bunch of Lay Bac’s reverb drenched sampled based creations via bandcamphere.

Came across this band Raindeer and fell in love. They have a nostalgic uplifting sound washed with vinatage synths and classic drum machine samples. Their track Dark place opens with a velvets inspired chord progression but without lou reeds strung out crooning, and more of a John Lennon Double Fantasy feel.
Canada’s Neon Canyon just sent in their highly addictive track Mononoke which opens with a beautiful arpeggiated synth line accompanied by a subtle background reverse loop and bittersweet vocals all held together by a shuffled machine beat. Check out Neon Canyon’s newest digital release via bandcamp entitled “Bricoleur” here. They also have a free EP that you can download here.
80s influenced new wave psychedelia outfit Raw Thrills released their debut LP, ‘Gradient’ a while back, check it out here. Sounds sort of like Ariel Pink after one too many coffees. Expect fast-paced drum machines and a carpal tunnel of vintage keys. The video below is for the cut ‘Komiche Traveling with Vampires.’
Download 4 tracks via BEKO digital release HERE (You’ll have to scroll past a bunch of albums to find the Raw Thrills release, it might be a good time to check out BEKO’s other releases too while your at it.)
