Synthpop Nonstop

You never go outside. Duty-free synth imports from Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yello, freshly unwrapped tracks via New York City and Munich, and a cult sci-fi find.

Dalek, I Love You seems underappreciated, despite quality records, and contributions to OMD and Teardrop Explodes. #synthpop #postpunk

ugly duck, my true love, by She Comes In Colors 11 track album

Nashville-based She Comes In Colors is Lenny Bryan, collaborating with a variety of solo woman vocalists, to create cosmopolitan pop built upon early analogue synth sounds and industrial-inspired rhythm. SPNS pick: "Our Place" #shecomesincolors #synthpop #dreampop #electropop

Whenever you come this way. Consynthacy theories from Icehouse and Blancmange, new vibes via Nashville and New Orleans, plus the wayward pride of Wirral.

Synpop Nonstop is heard on public radio stations coast-to-coast. If you can offer financial support of public media, please take that opportunity. And remember this day, when the GOP stripped funding for public media, in defiance of the public Broadcasting Act of 1967, with your midterm votes.

Switcheroo, by Gelli Haha 10 track album

The debut from LA duo Gelli Haha is a playground of oversaturated beats and manic pop melody that feels loose and authentic for all its careful construction. SPNS pick: "Bounce House" #gellihaga #synthpop #electropop

Who you were meant to be. Synth Club World Cup champs Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Thomas Dolby, contenders from LA and London, plus Yorkshire gold.

Dertlı Dolap, by Yakima Jera track by Yakima Jera

Munich-based duo Yakima Jera draw from 18th century Sufi poetry with their latest single, a haunted and raw slice of post-post-punk. #yakimajera #synthpop #postpunk #darkwave

RING AROUND THE ROSE (Feat. Tiffadelic), by Delores Galore track by Delores Galore

The cold beats and impowered glower of New Oreans singer/songwriter/producer Delores Galore's latest single highlight a gothy dimension of her growing catalogue, built upon a commanding foundation of funk, disco, and synth-pop. #deloresgalore #synthpop #coldwave

With orange nights and days of grey. Synth summer hits from The Human League and New Order, new grooves via New Orleans and São Paulo, plus a rare Seattle aquatic creature.

Galaxie / Love On The Rocks, by Daddy Squad 4 track album

Daddy Squad is Andrew Armstrong, formerly of Monarchy. His latest features an exuberent read of Lama's 1983 Italo disco classic "Love on the Rocks" with French vocalist Corine, in case dancing would do you some good. @daddysquad.bsky.social #italodisco #synthpop

Whining is exhausting, and you may not have more energy and strength to continue the journey.

yes, please., by Sextile 13 track album

LA duo's Sextile's latest Yes, Please compresses their relentless post-post-punk dance attack into its snarliest state. SPNS pick: "Resist" #Sextile #postpunk #synthpop

The sun and the moon and the stars. Synthversity Anthems from LaRoux and Devo, new beats via Brooklyn and LA, plus a lost Boston.

PRESENT ENERGY, by Bárbara Eugênia track by Bárbara Eugênia

Bárbara Eugênia is a highly lauded singer-songerwriter--with seven solo albums--and collaborator, notably with fellow Paulistano Tatá Aeroplano. Her new single is a house-inspired project with @malumariaoficial.bsky.social and Laya. It's sparten, mystic, and quietly hooky. #synthpop #brazillianmusic

Shadow of a Dream, by Valisia Odell 8 track album

The Athens duo of Valisia Odell and Aristomenis Theodoropoulos, formerly Strawberry Pills, now perform under the singer's name, whose distinct visual and vocal style are at the fore of the Greek darkwave scene. It translates. SPNS pick: "R.I.N." #valisiaodell #synthpop #darkwave

Happy #NationalSynthesizerDay !

A yellow cat inspects a 7" single of "Yellow Pearl," the theme to Top of the Pops, by Phil Lynott.

"Yellow Pearl" was the Top of the Pops theme between 1981 and 1986, a product of the Thin Lizzy leader's seemingly unlikely partnership with Midge Ure, whose influence and impact is on '80s popular music seems woefully underrecognized.

Nights and Weekends, by San Gabriel 13 track album

James Bookert's latest collection of songs as @sangabrielmusic.bsky.social were clocked in at his liquor store side gig. It's not out until late summer, but you can get a sip of two powerful tracks, including "Play With Fire," a modest anthem full of dizzy synth hooks. #synthpop #indie #electropop

Ultravox ... Warren Cann - The Birthday Boy!!!

Euro-Vision: The Legacy Of TELEX - ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK On paper it shouldn’t have worked; a funereal paced reworking of the song that heralded the birth of rock ‘n’ roll smothered in vocoder. But TELEX always had an eccentric sense of irony about them. T...
