Captured Tracks' most danceable act - next to Soft Metals, of course - follow-up the infectious 'Your Love Runs Still' single with their first new album for the Brooklyn-based label. That single's title track aside it's all entirely fresh material, brimming with hooks sharper than a Swedish sushi chef's favourite Yanagi Bocho and urged by some of the sexiest Italo basslines you'll hear on an Indie Pop record this side of the new Chromatics LP. They've also added the suitably international sounding trio of Martine Duverglas, Anna De Marco and Dani Imhoff to equation, making their individual brand of Pop a delectable affair.

**Darkly dramatic German folk/electronic fusion featuring production by Anton Maiovvi** "He who looks from the sun into another light won't see much, and yet it is different for the ones standing in the shade... They know all too well what the darkness holds. Melancholy is the hallway before the darkness. The light is vanishing but never out of reach and when you step out of the sun just close enough to the shadows you hear the music of The Cold Hand. A certain nonchalance in relation to less convenient truths. Over there in the sun you hear them shout that the wonders of love never truly sto… Read more

'Produkte Der Deutsch-Amerikanischen Freundschaft' is the milestone debut album from the complete early DAF lineup of Gabi Delgado-López, Robert Görl, Kurt Dahlke, Michael Kemner and Wolfgang Spelmens. 33 years since it was first released, former band member, Kurt 'Pyrolator' Dahlke presents this reissue on Bureau B, replete with all 22 spiky post-punk-tures. It's easy to hear the roots of their later - and better known - work in its jabbing rhythms and often noisy dissonance, but this is also a far stranger beast than anything else they're known for and should be taken as the primordial soup from which the industrial men-maschines, Görl and Delgado-López were born.

"For ‘Altered Creature’, Fostercare combines elements of techno, trance, rave and their many sub-genres. With heavy visual influences from the hyperrealist world of advertising, pornography, violence, virtual environments, post humanism and fetish societie, Fostercare has shaped a strange world behind his strain of electronic music. Driven by arpeggiated sequences, breakbeats and apocalyptic sentiments, Fostercare is music for the simulacrum - a peeling away of future underworlds, neon pulses, alternate screens, genetic maps and urban sprawl. Skating between many genres, his music is connec… Read more

Dublin-based duo debut with a sentimental, nostalgic serving of dream-pop for fans of Animal Collective, The Beach Boys, Washed Out and Fleet Foxes. Warm vocal harmonies are buoyed by gauzy layers of synth and urged by dance rhythms swaying between tropical breeziness and colder, steeled synth-pop and disco. Comparisons with Noah Lennox's output are unavoidable yet respectfully earned: they've obviously soaked up similar amounts of New Order and Phil Spector productions and wear those influences proudly.
