molto morbidi’s Chocolate Ashtray EP is out now!
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

“Her new EP ‘Chocolate Ashtray’ […] is a soft and understanding response to the difficult introspection that has come with the evolution of her career. These three tracks soothe, reassure and liberate. In ‘Casual Shapeshifting’, Morbidi’s weird and whimsical synth flourishes are so pleasant that they seem to glide over gentle rhythms that might’ve been tapped out on high-end kitchenware. The instruments in ‘Sideways, The Way’ are layered with an ease that feels like they’re giving each other a hug, possessing the laid-back pace of a Sunday stroll, they bring the EP to an undisturbed and peaceful close.” – Jess Brett for Electronic Sound

released April 11, 2025

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

On “Casual Shapeshifting” molto morbidi leans into a cartoonish, spacey sound, a blend of synth-pop and bossa nova, punctuated by a modified Flexatone beat that gives the song its quirky, kawaii flavor. Behind its lighthearted feel, the song grapples with the paradoxes of being a people pleaser, a tension the musician knows all too well, navigating the line between self-sacrifice and a deeper need for validation.

molto morbidi’s Chocolate Ashtray is out now!
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Following the February release of her album ‘String Cheese Theory‘, which garnered support from BBC Radio 6’s Deb Grant and featured UK alt-pop artist Ed Dowie and French improv legend Quentin Rollet, ‘Chocolate Ashtray’ sees molto morbidi continue to carve out her own unique space in the world of art pop.

The title ‘Chocolate Ashtray’ is rooted in the absurd. “How stupid would it be to actually use chocolate as a material for an ashtray?” molto morbidi muses. “But I also loved the contrast, the sweetness of chocolate and the grossness of cigarette butts. It’s a poetic object, especially the morning after a party, it has a sense of joy that’s now lost, a feeling that comes through in much of my music.”

Drawing on influences from synthwave, post-punk, and minimalism, molto morbidi’s sound is firmly avant pop, with a playful yet poignant touch. “Although it’s essentially pop music, I always try to integrate something a little offbeat, something weird” she explains. 

Chocolate Ashtray is steeped in layers of synths reminiscent of OMD, but with a playful piano line and minimalistic patterns that nod to experimental music icons like Terry Riley. Its infectious pop sensibility masks deeper reflections on merit and the value we place on our actions.

Sunna Margrét’s Fern is out now!

Following her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Finger on Tongue‘ – The Quietus named it one of the ‘Best Albums of the Year So Far 2024,’ describing it as “Oddball Icelandic pop packs a dense punch, heavy with ideas.” – now Sunna Margrét releases ‘Fern‘ with two bonus tracks ‘Garland‘ and ‘Sickness‘, a companion piece to her previous spring release.

‘Fern,’ features dreamy vocals and harmonies with a pop-leaning edge while retaining a distinctive left-field character. It’s a plea to an understanding.

‘Garland’ is characterized by its moody and chaotic energy, created solely with percussion sounds and voices to evoke the tension of two people in conflict.

‘Sickness’ features soft, introspective moments contrasted with harsh elements. Kind of sad and tragic, but ending with a rebellion or some sort of victory.

Sunna Margrét’s Finger on Tongue is out now!
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Sunna Margrét’s debut album Finger on Tongue is a masterclass in experimental pop, with influences spanning from CAN to Suzanne Ciani to The Space Lady, the album navigates between cross-cutting synth pop, reinvented trip hop, kraut and experimental inspirations. It was constructed in two phases, like day and night. The first phase evokes a period of renewal and liberated life, while the second tells of a counterpoint, the return of past visions and buried ghosts.

Finger on Tongue balances moments of tranquillity with bursts of chaos, capturing an authentic Icelandic essence through its experimental electronic and spellbinding sounds. Some tracks offer softness and peace while others invite you to dance.

“On the songwriter and producer’s debut album, Finger on Tongue, she explores different ways to distort her voice and instruments as free floating elements that somehow still end up in each other’s orbit. From the way Margrét layers her vocals across tracks to the multilayered backgrounds she builds with synths to varied resonances she pulls from the percussion, every song is woven as a slightly different fabric.” – The Quietus

molto morbidi’s String Cheese Theory is out now!
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

After her experience as part of the band Shadow Motel, French frontwoman Swan Wisnia lays down the foundations of her solo project in the continuation of intemporal, welcoming and highly ambitious music.
The musical universe she creates is one where listing the various influences would be tedious as they all become integrated within a coherent vision, whose originality is refreshing and which invokes a world of sonorities, sensations and aesthetics.
Mainly interested in music from the past, she says herself that the artists who inspire her are those who feel comfortable enough among their influences to transcend traditions and formal expectations, “the ones who are part of a history of music, who have obvious influences, but who manage to create something completely original, textured, and easily identifiable as their own”. In this regard, molto morbidi’s music sounds like emancipation propelled by a rich palette of references and sounds. Vocal and progressive pop, synth rock, early R’n’B, antediluvian electronica, shimmering avant rock…
molto morbidi doesn’t hold back and will snatch the hearts pop and avant-garde lovers.

Arto Lindsay’s 7 Types of Ambiguity – A Parade is the materialisation in a record of a carnival procession, recorded in Bahia, and later arranged in a monumental 27 channel installation in a white cube. Soundtrack to an unseen documentary, musical fantasy, the parade is “a prime example of the proximity of sexuality and religion, of tradition and novelty and a place for true social innovation”.

Ana Bălan’s Toys is out now!
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Ana Bălan releases her debut Toys out today on all streaming platforms, consisting of 8 art pop tracks she wrote and co-produced with her fellow NSR artist Maxime Graf.

“I wanted to do something a bit brut or low-fi, because when I was younger I loved those projects that I found online, like Teen Suicide that was a huge influence for me. They were this internet emo band doing very simple songs using a lot of electronic and noise elements. So I kind of wanted this sort of sound between punk/emo and electronica, between rough and sweet. I would describe my sound as a blend of indie electronica with 80’s goth and 90’s emo elements.”

The first track, Goodbye Ghostboy, is a semifreddo of feelings, a bittersweet break up song to a dead soul with no bones inside, while Love Song speeds up the beat and confronts the memories of love and friendship while sitting lonely at the desk to write, where a heady synth is caught up by a stomping kick and a seemingly confident voice sings « I made you up inside my head / Nothing in this world comes free ». Carousel is an ode to apocalyptic love with a cheerful singing of the lyrics « Drive me slowly down to hell / back up again ».
