So I’ve been let loose on another Two for Thursday and rather than looking forwards I’m looking back (a bit). However these are two songs you’re going to want to chase up because they are perfect for mid-to-late summer; both being sweet cuts of psychedelic pop they compliment those somnolent, humid and hazy evenings of August. […]
LA continues to be a hotbed of tasty R&B music, and Vector Xing is no exception. The enigmatic solo artist just released his second single of the summer, entitled “Funeral.” The track was written as an homage to black lives lost during police-related shootings, and couldn’t have come at a more pertinent time within our […]
We approach that point between summer and autumn, where upbeat pop anthems linger, jostling for attention as the sunset fades making way for something a little heavier. But what then, to take us into the second half of the year. Here are four more artists you may have missed in a busy August… Folk is […]
There is always an element of fate and coincidence in the formation of any band or music project. In the North West UK specifically, we’ve recently seen films Nowhere Boy and England is Mine depict the circumstances around key meetings in musical history and allow us to reflect happily on the existence of songs like […]
Two more top-picks for you this week and they are nicely contrasting while still occupying the same rarefied space of electronics and atmosphere. Apollo is Joel Jasper, a Vancouver-based multi-instrumentalist and producer who is no newcomer to the music scene – his love of all things musical beginning when he first picked up a guitar at the […]
Darkwave fans rejoice! New music from Typeface has finally arrived. Recognized for their polished, anthemic sound with soaring choruses, Typeface doesn’t disappoint with their latest single “Someone Else”. Otto Piirilä (vocals), Ossi Oikari (guitars, backing vocals), Aku Oikari (drums), and Niilo Oikari (keyboards, bass) have once again joined forces with producer/musician Jaani Peuhu of Iconcrash to create this […]
Here is a little story of how art and music meet science with Berlin-based duo Kovács/O’Doherty . After reading an open call from the LACMA, they submitted their idea of using audio from an abandoned, resurrected satellite that had been in orbit around the earth for the last half a century. Signal Tide would become a […]
Tomorrow morning, Seattle psych/garage rock band Low Hums will release their new album Night Magic Wine on Union Zero. Today, we’ve been privileged with a sneak peek of the album, which can be streamed below. The 10-song effort was produced by the legendary Jack Endino, who was most notably behind the boards for Nirvana’s Bleach […]
We’ve all had a celebrity crush. Or better yet, we’ve all crushed on someone like they were a celebrity. Thanks to Bryce Vine, that feeling has come to life in his new single “Drew Barrymore.” The track gives us the best parts of indie, R&B, and hip-hop – shifting back and forth between the three […]
We are particularly excited to welcome Neil Grant aka Lo Five into the fold this month and he has constructed an achingly beautiful mix for us that plays with ambience, hauntology and delicate electronics. Neil’s instinct for melody is now well-known on the scene and here he constructs an hour-long mix that is as bright and […]
Binary Theories put yourself away: we can never satisfy these lovers. * IN THE AGE OF GHOSTS all of the stars you fawn over masquerade as broken records lost in some other decade or the backseat in that man’s convertible. * LA SORCIÈRE in my dreams, i have pastel hair. lavender waves, ripen to curl […]
It’s another new year and whatever lies in store for us musically over the next twelve months we hope to capture right here for you. Regardless of genre, our new playlist will include the most essential tracks including several featured artists on Fourculture. It will be updated regularly so make sure you hit ‘follow’.
2018 has stretched and yawned and is now fully upon us whether we like it or not. We’re finally waking up to the fact that there’s some good new music out there if you only care to look. It’s better to be fashionably late to the party than to not turn up at all so […]
Let what go? Is it supposed to be a remedy or some holy resolution to be able to “let it go,” as so many people are apt to advise a person suffering emotional distress? Are any and all of mankind’s deeply disturbing problems dismissible by following the advice of three words? Let it go. Let […]
.Mack remembers Tu Tien Tran and shows us a little of St. Louis mourning the loss of an iconic figure in the city’s music scene:, owner of the Upstairs Lounge and EDM culture. Adam, Vanilla Child, and The Artist D review the State of the Union, the line of impeachment and the potential ridiculousness it […]
LA alt-pop artist X. ARI is gearing up for the release of her second EP Dis-Order, and has given us a sneak peek with her new single “Vapors.” As uplifting as the song sounds – and it does sound super uplifting – it’s actually about a completely toxic relationship. The song’s production & overall vibe […]
In the world of electronica, EDM and old-school techno, it seems most artists are afraid to drop things ‘out of the box’ so to speak. Everyone has to stay ‘cutting edge’ in the EDM/Dub/D&B scene, with a fear of sounding ‘dated’ rather than groundbreaking. The truth is, there’s not much new ground to be broken, […]
This month’s mix comes from Francesco Imola aka Young Offices and it’s a brilliant listen. Originally from Italy, Francesco spent a period in Liverpool, playing the regular underground electronic night Emotion Wave to great acclaim and is now based in London studying Sound Design at the University of Greenwich. Young Offices creates ambient and experimental music that […]
Traditionally, Parade of Lights’ music begs to be played in the car — loudly, with the windows down, preferably on a highway with the wind in your hair, and on repeat. Their latest track is no different. The Los Angeles quartet of Ryan Daly (lead vocals/guitar), Anthony Improgo (drums), Randy Schulte (bass/backing vocals), and Michelle […]
What’s with the Salvadorian uproar and was it fair for the Trump administration to send them back? Our panel is conflicted as energies run high on this fine evening. Ray Cotolo gets profound. Everyone wonders who would want Charles Manson’s body. Meanwhile President Oprah Winfrey was not as popular with the group as Artist D […]
