VICKY CHOW NEW ALBUM TRAILER
Surface Image is a stunning marriage of Perich’s inspired electronic aesthetic and Chow’s nuanced yet fiercely virtuosic playing. It’s a landmark release for Perich, being his first major release focusing solely on his work, as well as his first large-scale piano composition. Chow’s dynamic performance is swept up in a sublime flurry of dazzling 1-bit sounds, simultaneously entangling and unraveling over the hour long journey. The line between electric and organic is artistically blurred, as the simple hand-wired electronics fuse with the individual notes of the piano on the same, expansive plane.

RODION GA NEW SINGLE ON NOISEY
Rodion G.A. are without doubt one of music’s best-kept secrets. Formed in 1975, Rodion G.A. would become one of the most innovative bands in Romanian musical history. The Romanian underground loved the band for their spaced-out mix of progressive rock and psychedelic synthesizer sounds. The vast record collection of founder Rodion Ladislau Roșca, locally crowned “King Of The Records”, contained many releases unavailable in the region and played a huge part in the development of the band’s sound. After the group disbanded in 1987 they avoided any public appearance until Romanian blogger Luca Sorin fished them out of oblivion, opening up opportunities for the legendary group to re-emerge and finally get the recognition they deserve.

NEW VIDEO BY SON LUX
Equal parts producer and composer, Son Lux bridges an unusual gap between old-world music discipline and next-level experimentation. Meditative but heaving with energy, Lanterns finds a peculiar congruency between futuristic soul and ancient sentiment. Driving orchestral pop (Lost It To Trying, No Crimes) is placed alongside creepy minimalism (Pyre, Enough Of Our Machines), often starkly juxtaposing densely layered arrangements with Lott’s intimate voice. In recent past Son Lux has gained notoriety for both his Sisyphus (formerly s/s/s) project, and for being named NPR’s “Best New Artist of the Year.”

PIXIES ENLISTS BUDDING DIRECTORIAL DUO FOR “RING THE BELL”
When Lital Mizel and Adi Frimmerman filmed a sleepover in Mizel’s bedroom back in 2005, lip-syncing and dancing to the Pixies’ song “Hey” as a birthday present for Frimmerman’s boyfriend, the two had no idea the clip would go viral to the tune of 34-million YouTube views (as of 9/2014) or catapult the two promising filmmakers to internet cult status. Nor, when the two attended the Pixies’ show in Israel this past June and went backstage afterwards to meet them, did they ever dream a half-joke of offering their services to make another video clip for the band would be met with a green light.
