Third roundup of new music coming out this January – compiled with a little help from our followers!
See part 1 of the roundup here and part 2 here.
slithek – Finding Quiet Places (Infinite Sync)
There are no quiet places. The hum of life pulses through everything, but stripping away complexity allows layers of nostalgic melodies to unfold before you.
Slashed Tires – Don’t Party (Off Tempo)
Have you ever gone out and asked yourself, “What am I doing here?”
What about “Am I dancing because it’s what someone wants me to do, or because I want to dance?” or “Am I trapped in a trying, crappy limbo in which I fail to connect with other people? Is this where I truly want to be?”
Don’t Party, the debut album from Slashed Tires, is the sound of these questions being asked and dissected in real-time. It is a collection of twelve songs exploring one’s inner monologue, the ups and downs of friendships, and the unfulfilled promise of a night out.

Pulse Emitter – Swirlings (Hausu Mountain)
Synthesizer music by Daryl Groetsch
Suncastle – Nah (Triplicate Records)
“Nah” is Suncastle’s sixth (!) album with Triplicate Records in two years. What we absolutely love about his music is that each album is uniquely original and builds upon the last. His trademark playful melodies and themes leave you feeling immersed in a new and unfamiliar futuristic world. Repeated listens are generously rewarded.

Lite Fails – The End Of The World Has Already Happened (Flaming Pines)
The End Of The World Has Already Happened is a response to the Australian bushfires with all proceeds to the Australian Rural Firefighting Service.
“Tamed fire and tamed sound were hallmarks of progress and modernity. But now the land roars like a freight train and the people can’t breathe. These tracks are a reflection on the unfinished business that arises from our troubled colonial and environmental history.” Lite Fails.
