Solar Bears // “Cosmic Runner”

There is always music to look forward to, but seldom are the times when I find myself so eagerly anticipating an album that I can barely stand the wait. Solar Bears’ forthcoming Supermigration is one of those times.

One of the things that I love most about the Irish duo’s music is that it is a perfect companion piece to my love for genre films. They create this perfect hybrid of different styles that at times reminds me of horror film scores of the late 1970’s or early 1980’s (John Carpenter, Ennio Morricone, Goblin) while other times their sound is more reminiscent of sci-fi. But wherever the band is pulling influence from, you can always guarantee that the result will be dense and atmospheric arrangements.

Take a listen to this cut from Supermigration that John sent me called “Cosmic Runner.” It’s about as deep space as the title would suggest and it shows that the band is back and in top form as well.

Side note: Did you guys see the trailer for Beyond the Black Rainbow yet? The aesthetic that Solar Bears have honed over the last few years (and of which “Cosmic Runner” is a perfect example) is almost a perfect match to the vibe and the look of the trailer. It’s almost eerie! Check it out!

Moths // “Blisters” Moths is Jack Colleran an ambitious 17-year-old electronic musician from Ireland. You could call him a musician, but producer might be a better fit. So far he’s released two tracks for download on his bandcamp.  There is a frenetic energy buried in his song “Blisters.” It’s not deep beneath the surface, rather it’s right there barely contained underneath the song’s shiny production. The different pieces of the song are collected and sewn together with beats and claps. When the trilling synth finally starts in (giving the song an almost world-music feel), the whole thing breathes and pulsates nearly bursting at the seams. (On a side note: these last few weeks everything seems to be coming up teenagers when it comes to good, new music. That really makes me happy. It shows that no matter how hard the contemporary culture tries, they can’t brainwash everyone into banality.) Grab this track and his other “Slow/Down” for free on his bandcamp. And keep an eye on Moths, you’ll be hearing more from him in the future. … hear it: “Blisters” X
