It would be interesting to observe Metaspion, the single man producer/musician/artist otherwise known as Morten Richter, at work.

Deep into 2020, electronic music—real electronic music, that devoid of recorded vocals, which functions as a collection of instrumentals and might serenade you at a bar, a coffee shop, or perhaps at those discos that once dominated the larger part of Europe—is alive and kicking.

The crown piece of lo-fi bass music for quarantine, the most recent offering from Nick Campbell Destroys, is “Goodbye Moonmen”.

Not often, but sometimes, it’s possible for an artist—such as Vipid, coming out of sunny Southern California by way of the Midwest—to give away his whole agenda on a particular body of work merely by the titles.

“Windows”, the latest single from singer/songwriter/keyboardist/organist/guitarist jefff, is a lively, inspiring number.

As Dinah Washington might’ve said, what a difference a year makes. Can you believe it was just 2019 when Scotty Seed last graced the site of Breaking and Entering?

Shihori’s latest single, “Perfect Imperfection”, is big.

Pay the Man (When You Leave)”, the recently released second single from Lord Sonny the Unifier’s forthcoming Extended Player (dropping November 13 as a digital product), is a study in paradoxes in almost all ways that matter in a song.

The acoustic guitar, in all its myriad varieties, has a thousand voices, perhaps for each day. Mark Vickness seemingly speaks all of them with his stringed instrument.

Whatever else he indicates, displays, or reveals on his latest release, the EP the wall, David Thompson is an accomplished vocalist.

Is it possible to simultaneously be retro and contemporary, futuristic and dated?

It’s a little difficult to decide what the most compelling aspect is of “No Ways”, the most recent release from singer/songwriter Erich Mrak.

Sample laden rap—crate digging, dusty drums and loops to perfection—has returned with Chameleon Lifestyles Simulation, the recently released Long Player from Farr Well.

“Love Cards”, the latest effort from Grapefruit Sound Lab and Amuka, is one of those tunes that grows on you during first listen.

The imagery for J’Moris’s recent video is singular, timeless, striking.

You’ve got to give it to Kid Lab Rat on his latest release, More Sad Songs.

You wouldn’t be wrong for thinking Justin Weiss, presumably the same entity as the artist/producer/musician Vast Caldera, was a pianist—especially if you happened to peruse his latest Extended Player Vast Caldera 1, which is not nearly as besotted with keyboard work as it is guitar.

Sonically, J’Moris is making it happen on his new single “Off the Porch”.
