Obscure Sound — A haunting debut single with lingering atmospheric immersion, “Into the Neon” is a thorough success from Greatr Fool, the Oakland-based electronic duo of producers Nathan Kamps-Hughes and Jonathan Lane. Ominous lyricism like “the tide is coming in” is delivered with a chilly, dynamic tone — reminding of a cross between Thom Yorke’s spine-tingling ghostliness and James Blake’s soulful charisma. A mixture of ambient synths, trickling guitar, and noir-inspired textures complement the mysterious vocal feeling, casting a spell that feels both hypnotic and fit for cold, barren nights. This is a standout track that has us firmly anticipating Greatr Fool’s debut The post Greatr Fool – “Into the Neon” appeared first on Obscure Sound: Indie Music Blog. more info

Obscure Sound — Enthralling us back in 2023 with single “Shatter,” Found Space continue to strut a gorgeously spacey melding of shoegaze and dream-pop on recent single “nostalgia.” It’s an apt title, as there’s a warming likeness to ’90s alt-rock and shoegaze — particularly in the vein of Spiritualized. “Sometimes, I can’t explain what it feels like,” hazy vocals let out as a spacious blissfulness emerges after textured guitars and rhythms. An ascension in vocal pitch, just before the one-minute turn, combines with the re-emergence of layered entrancement — and into an anthemic burst of guitar distortion and vocal passion directly after.

Obscure Sound — Stockholm-based artist Jeppediinho bridges radiant synth-pop, classic house, and modern EDM emotion on his memorable debut album, Games of Life. Drawing on early inspirations like Avicii and the golden age of dance music, the album brims with euphoric hooks and introspective themes, seamlessly balancing elation with self-reflection. “Illusion” opens the album with a clanging synth-pop effervescence, quickly building into a similarly vibrant vocal presence — admitting to being “blinded by the light.” The elongated vocal feeling traverses with gripping momentum as the glistening synth work continues, beckoning into a title-bearing hook that dazzles in its charismatic vocal uptick and blaring The post Jeppediinho – ‘Games of Life’ appeared first on Obscure Sound: Indie Music Blog. more info

Stereogum — The new Yumi Zouma single is called “Phoebe’s Song.” Who is Phoebe? The romantic partner of Yumi Zouma member Josh Burgess. You get a close-up look at her in the video, which finds her lip-synching and pretending to play guitar to the track. It’s a pleasing addition to the group’s upcoming No Love Lost To Kindness , wistful and gently jangly, at least until that final fuzz-bombed chorus hits. Fans of the Cranberries and Sundays will find a lot to love. more info

Stereogum — It’s a huge news day for Chicago bands affiliated with Finn Wolfhard. First, rock ‘n’ rollers Twin Peaks teased a reunion. Now we’ve got a new track from the Slaps, the post-rockers who have served as Wolfhard’s backing band on tour. The song is called “Wettest Wing,” and it pleasingly evokes the early 2000s heyday of Chicago forebears like Jim O’Rourke and Wilco. Yeah, I’m talking jazzy drums, fingerstyle acoustic guitars, plaintive piano — the good shit. Please listen to this if you want to be soothed into the weekend. more info
