Manchester based duo Codex have released their glitchy new single Airport.
Fusing an eclectic range of influences, Codex organically blend warm, cerebral soundscapes with hypnotic electronic beats to create an atmospheric, brooding single. Opening with off-kilter analogue drum beats, Airport is intensified by the dream-like vocals of Shahriar Parast, the track menacingly building throughout, as Codex playfully experiment with textural sounds spanning influences from underground electronica to melodic pop.
With Airport out now, Codex are aiming to release more music later this year, with the band eager to share their sophisticated brand of electro with a wider audience.

Mark Lanegan & dark wave band IYEARA announce release of Another Knock At The Door!
Mark Lanegan and dark wave band IYEARA are delighted to announce a remix of his entire 2019 album Somebody’s Knocking, reimagined as 'Another Knock At The Door' (IYEARA remixes) and due for release on 21st August 2020.
To celebrate the announcement, IYEARA have unveiled single Playing Nero, adding a brooding, industrial edge to a beautiful, wistful original score.
The Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age front man's 11th solo album was a synth-laden and pulsating soundscape. In step with Lanegan's next move - a published memoir (Sing Backwards and Weep) - IYEARA have reworked the whole album, to scrutinise and reveal the nuances and atmospheres within, to re frame Lanegan's lyrics. IYEARA have reimagined the primal, guttural songs in their own image.
Comprised of The Duke Spirit guitarist Toby Butler, producer Malcolm Carson and vocalist Paul O’Keeffe, IYEARA announced themselves in 2019 through the release of CONSEQUENCES EP; a record including a cover of Shout by Tears for Fears featuring The Duke Spirit’s Liela Moss.
Mark Lanegan Band - Another Knock At The Door (IYEARA remixes) is out on 21st August 2020, pre-order the forthcoming album here.
Outblinker announce DJ set vs Blanck Mass & release Techno Viking video.
Outblinker have unveiled their psychedelic video for single Techno Viking.
Written on a recording session with Benjamin Power (Blanck Mass/ Fuck Buttons) in the Orkney Islands, the band will celebrate the release with a Blanck Mass vs Outblinker DJ set live on the Blanck Mass official Facebook page at 20.00 GMT on Saturday 11th July.
Techno Viking builds upon the krautrock sound that has become synonymous with the band's previous releases. Techno Viking is Outblinker's most nuanced and dynamic sound yet, embracing poppy melodic hooks as well as a hint of malice.
Having first came to prominence through the release of their propulsive debut EP The Remains Of Walter Peck, they gained support from the likes of SPIN, NME, Clash Magazine, The Skinny, The Line of Best Fit and many more. Techno Viking is the first in what will be a succession of single releases throughout the remainder of 2020.
Techno Viking is out now and available to stream on Spotify, Bandcamp, Soundcloud and YouTube.
George Barnett releases seductive new single Parasite!
Dark-pop innovator George Barnett - also known as AKA George - returns with the release of his seductive new single Parasite, out now via AntiFragile Music.
Parasite once again showcases George’s unique ability to create cathartic alt-pop that is unapologetic and undeniably intoxicating. As compulsive bass lines vibrate beneath, vivid synths, an alluring guitar solo and George’s distinctively hushed vocals are able to soar. Talking about the single, George elaborates, “Parasite is about that grey area when you’re moving away from someone. They start to manipulate their way back into your mind. You become the parasite when you’re weak - you try to find a way back in because you feel lonely. And that's twisted. I've been on both sides. They both fuck you up.”
