Mirror Girl (Scott Solter Remix) is the new single from the forthcoming album, A Frame of Reference, by Danish spectral noise-rock quartet Salli Lunn.

In-demand producer, musician and remixer extraordinaire Scott Solter is well known for working with bands as diverse as Superchunk, St Vincent, Neon Indian, Pattern is Movement and Boxharp. The track is accompanied by a superb video by Cam Merton, Hidden Shoal label manager and experimental film-maker, which renders the dark majesty of the track as a kaleidoscopic cascade of image fragments, like some sort of psychedelic TV nightmare.

Notic Nastic is an anonymous electronic music machine comprised of neon fantasy geeks from New York and Berlin. Based in Berlin, they produce music that could be described as pumping, popped out, strangely addictive electronic bon-bons. Check out their latest free release. More than 30 minutes of new sounds from the band. The quiet start morphs into darker dance territories. Be excited.

Listening to Dust from 1000 Years makes me feel like a lean, happy cat getting my head scratched by sonic fingers, with vibrations leaking down from my skull to permeate my body and weave it into waking dreams. All of their older material is available for free download on Musical Family Tree.

There’s something quite attractively kitsch about the Lucky Dragons’ latest release, Dream Island Laughing Language. It’s undoubtedly unusual, and not too friendly on the ears, but something warm and fuzzy keeps creeping out of the broken drum rhythms and looped vocals. It’s a mish-mash of jangly folk licks, Squarepusher-style drum ‘n bass with a few Coco Rosie-esque experimental sound effects thrown in: intriguing, original, and fairly hard to describe!
