Mort Jardin “Delay Decay”
Manchester-based post-punk psychedelic rock act, Mort Jardin shares a nightmarish new album. Bending the boundaries between genres, Delay Decay sees neo-psych swirling in the phantoms of jazz, swing and blues. Pieces and fragments of guitar dissolves into its impressionistic backdrop, composed of booming basslines and hypnotic drum loops. The duality of capture and escape then forms a sonic maze in the deeper dimension of Delay Decay.
As an artist, Jardin never fails to challenge and outdo what he has previously achieved. Delay Decay sees the artist masterfully leveraging his unique sonic instinct while orchestrating an even more complicated soundscape. The track swings between poetry and dream, surreality and disobedience. Psychedelic, but piercingly brutal.
The entire track list compresses of lead track “Soaked in Fever,” “The Logician,” “A Strange Nostalgia,” “Fried Ground,” “When You Are Around,” “Slow Thaw,” “Coastline,” and “Wake Up Marty.”

High Protein “Cybele”
Rising EDM producer High Protein shares a darkly intoxicating, atmospheric new single. “Cybele,” smashed with discordant synth and pulsing industrial dreams, paints an unusual atmosphere of alluring aroma and complex sensory effects. Exotic, ethnic elements give the track a kind of otherworldliness that has listeners question where they are at the same time captivated by the scenic soundscapes.
In “Cybele,” Middle eastern influences confront oriental melodies and rhythms while being amplified by a drastic bassline that lurks and growls from the underworld. Futuristic but earthy, dystopian but ethereal, dark but euphoric. “Cybele” explores dualities in the Australian producer’s own creation of a sonic cocktail.
Without a marketing plan or any help from a label, “Cybele” has garnered over 6,000 organic streams since its release in January. High Protein lately released a new single, “Caecilious.”
