Catching up with R. Missing is a never-ending pursuit. The NYC duo keeps the singles going steady, always exploring a variety of dance floor sounds in a decidedly dreamy and somewhat inscrutable way. Often enough, they cast a unique hook, taking Sythpop Nonstop by the lip. #r.missing #synthpop

Quality and quantity are alligned when it comes to the barrage of singles from A Thousand Mad Things. London producer William Barradale nicks iconic '80s form, adding deft, subtle modern upgrades, solid songwriting, with serious vocal talent. #athousandmadthings #synthpop
Synthpop Nonstop is pleased to join the Hereford FC community. @hereford-fc.bsky.social
Composed and recorded before a live audience over the course of a 3-week residency, near where federal agents murdered Alex Pretti in their ongoing rampage of lawlessness and property damage, Better Live is a testimony to the strength and integrity of the Mpls music scene and Polica in particular.
The latest single from Vancouver gothy synth rockers Actors is one of their strongest to date. An album is due in the autumn. #actors #synthpop

Synertia is a new collaborative project from indie stawart Jen Wood (Tattle Tale, 9 solo albums, The Postal Service), with LA producer Derek Ryan. A bit more dance floor than her recent GEMZ project, grounded in Wood's clear phrasing, intonation, and lovelorn themes. SPNS pick: "Above the Clouds"

Gothy LA couple Die Sexual (either "dye" or "dee" is OK with them) deliver another dark, pulsing single, grounded on EBM, with sensual spoken vox, that is stickier than a swingers' club ottoman. #diesexual #synthpop
Bringing dynamics, humor, and a serious work ethic to synthwave, Boston-based Mike Langlie/Cat Temper's latest is a sideways homage to Rush '77. It's more guitar-forward than much of the CT catalog, but mega Getty electronic melodies land closer to the heart. SPNS pick: "Temples of the Sphinx"

The London trio's sophomore LP explores advanced trip-hop sonic terrain just right of industrial. Their urgent and intimate vocal presence make PVA easy to pick out. SPNS pick: "Enough"

K-tel would compress the cuts, and edit tracks, to fit as many songs as possible on a record--some of which were required by a label in exchange for the license to a hit. This also had the advantage, in some territories, of avoiding some payment of royalties, due to exceeding statutory maximums.

Milwaukee synth-pop couple The Quilz have a knack for fresh-sounding covers. The Clash is the inspiration for their latest batch, earnest and whimsical in the right ration. SPNS pick: "Rock the Casbah" #thequilz #synthpop
