PHSEII - God
Released 8/8 2025

This is a single from their upcoming album on the label Orissa Music from Gothenburg. If you blend some Spacemen 3 with some more of Spacemen 3 then you are pretty close to PHSEII’s first single. Can’t wait for the album.

Mondo Lava - Chickens in the Barn
From the album Utero Dei
Released 12/8 2025

The song is a perfect representation of Mondo Lava's unique blend of tropicalia, dub, new age, free jazz and experimental electronic music. It's not about slick production; it's about atmosphere, mood and a delightful sense of the absurd. The whole 74 minute long album is a rollercoaster of joy!

Carsick Charlie - Metamism
From the EP C2: Metamism
Released 10/7 2025

Going from somewhat straight forward indie-folk singer-songwriter stuff to this, mixing in some more experimental elements and that is just the right kind of evolution. It is interesting and has the perfect combination of catchy and alluring. The release of the EP was accompanied by an exhibition early July in Glasgow.

Dataintrång - The One & Only Dataman
From the EP Smartphones, Stupid People
Released 20/6 2025

I do enjoy electro every now and then but my knowledge about it is rather limited. So I needed to ask AI for this short description, I hope it does justice:
The One & Only Dataman is a perfect example of Dataintrång's raw electro sound. The track features a gritty drum machine beat and lo-fi synths that create a haunting, nostalgic melody. It's a minimalist but deeply atmospheric piece of music that feels both vintage and futuristic. For fans of classic electro, this is a must-hear.

moss boy - early bird gets the worm
Released 25/4 2025
moss boy is an alt-rock/shoegaze, their sound is characterized by bright, spacey guitars, disciplined songwriting, and high-quality performances. The single "early bird gets the worm" has definite shoegaze and alt-rock inclination, giving an atmospheric soundscape to the music.

Oi Boys - Sur La Place
Released 18/9 2021
The Guardian did a piece about the “Cold Oi” scene in France with a Spotify playlist which kind of blew me away. This track is from that playlist and from Oi Boys self-titled album from 2021. You can find the article and playlist here: https://dub.sh/coldoi

Faultline - The Marshal's Dance
Released 17/1 2025
David Kosten is a British music producer and engineer but beyond his production work he is also a musician in his own right, recording and releasing contemporary electronica under the moniker Faultline where he arranges abstract sounds. He has been releasing singles all through 2025, this one is from January and while the music is excellent you should also check out the covers for the singles, they are beautiful.

Clutter - Geeks
From the EP Loves You
Released 11/4 2025
More music from Sweden and this opening track on their debut EP on PNKSLM recordings, its fuzzy guitars sound like 90s grunge mixed with post rock.

This Toronto group's debut (3rd debut on the list this month!) album is full of garage rock, post hardcore and it is a treat. Ugly Pop Records have been quiet for a few years but are now back with this! You should immediately go and buy Cult Crime and everything else you find on Ugly Pop.
