Boab is the latest EP from New York dream pop band Iceblynk, featuring four tracks that combine two previously unreleased songs with two remixes.

Rememory has been a mainstay of Iceblynk’s live repertoire for the past year, while Never Ready was pulled from the archives and reimagined for this release, taking on a more shoegaze and trip-hop feel.

Rounding out the EP are two remixes. Rememory (Total Recall Mix) comes from The Summer Republic, a Brooklyn collective featuring members of Clone and The Veldt. The second is Enter the Sky (Lulu Lewis Disco Mix), produced by Pablo Martin, a producer and composer for Lulu Lewis and The Du-Rites, as well as a touring member of Tom Tom Club and Belouis.

Martin’s remix credits also include Ghostface Killah, Large Professor, M.O.P., Wax Tailor and DJ Rhettmatic, adding another interesting dimension to the EP’s remix selections.

Iceblynk was formed in the summer of 2019 by guitarist Martin Newman, vocalist Andrea Lynn and bassist James Newman. Following the disruption caused by COVID, the band returned with their self-titled debut EP and began performing live around the New York area.

Following the release of their single Enter the Sky, drummer Rachel Fischer joined the band, with the new line-up subsequently releasing the single Plummett.

Boab continues the band’s exploration of dream pop, shoegaze and electronic textures, bringing together new material and reworked versions of existing songs to create a compact four-track release.

Mosquito Control Music has released its new single “The Evidence”, the final instalment of the three-song EP Side 2. The release is being supported by a promotional campaign featuring radio airplay, video and publicity.

At its core, “The Evidence” pushes the boundaries of what a rock song can become, adding a shadow of electronica to create a danceable pulse and psychedelic vibe.

With the constant advancement of guitar effects, the bass riff uses an MXR Bass Synth pedal as the driving force behind a foundation of drum loops programmed using the legendary Roland TR-808.

Conceptually, “The Evidence” explores the edge of our sanity when confronting the restricted regions of addiction. This theme is reflected in the accompanying music video, which features clips from the 1955 noir thriller The Man with the Golden Arm.

“The Evidence” follows in the wake of Mosquito Control Music’s fifth single, “We Came to Play”, which spent 14 weeks on the Groovers Top 100 charts, reaching #1 in the US and #9 globally.

Release Details

Artist: Mosquito Control Music
Single: The Evidence
Release Date: August 5, 2026
Record Label: Rice and Groovy Records

With “The Evidence”, Mosquito Control Music brings together rock, electronic textures, psychedelic influences and programmed rhythms to create a track that sits comfortably between the dance floor and the alternative rock scene.

The single also completes the Side 2 EP, giving the three-track release a final chapter built around experimentation, groove and darker conceptual themes.

VEE & the invisible is the solo project of singer-songwriter Varun Chopra, a Montreal-born, Calgary-based artist blending indie rock, electronic textures and melodic pop.

The project’s debut full-length album, Summer Ends, arrives on 14 August, bringing together 14 tracks that explore themes of closure, relationships, family, distance, identity and the complicated process of letting go.

Moving through heartbreak, nostalgia, acceptance and renewal, the album feels like both a personal archive and a fresh start. Chopra draws inspiration from artists including Bright Eyes, Damon Albarn, Frank Ocean and Jamie T, creating a sound that moves freely between indie rock, dreamlike pop, electronic textures and intimate singer-songwriter moments.

At its heart, Summer Ends is an album about change — looking back at what has been while trying to find a way forward.

Following a prolific run of releases throughout 2026, The Songs of Butler & Cupples return with ‘Therapy’, a vibrant new single that sees the songwriting-led project move into a more sensual and polished strain of alt-pop.

Featuring vocalist MAVIS once again, the track combines clean contemporary production with airy melodies, understated percussion and buoyant synth work, further demonstrating a project that is increasingly defined by creative range rather than genre convention.

The Songs of Butler & Cupples take a deliberately songwriting-first approach, putting the strength of the material ahead of image, hype or traditional artist infrastructure. Rather than operating as a conventional band, the project provides an open creative framework built around collaboration, musicianship and the belief that the song itself should remain at the centre of the conversation.

‘Therapy’ captures that philosophy through sleek, instinctive production that knows when to push forward and when to leave space. Bouncy synths and light percussion provide an immediate rhythmic lift, while MAVIS brings a sensual vocal presence and melodic clarity that gives the track its emotional centre.

The result is accessible alt-pop that doesn't sacrifice the musicality or attention to detail behind the project.

The single follows a series of 2026 releases that have seen The Songs of Butler & Cupples move across electronic pop, rock and more experimental territory. That willingness to explore without becoming tied to a single sonic identity has become an important part of the project's appeal, with each release offering another perspective on its wider creative philosophy.

At a time when an artist's identity can often be shaped as much by presentation as the music itself, The Songs of Butler & Cupples are taking a deliberately different route. Their catalogue is built around substance, emotional resonance and the freedom to follow an idea wherever it leads, with collaboration playing a key role in the project's evolving identity.

With ‘Therapy’, that approach translates into one of their most immediately engaging releases so far — polished yet characterful, melodic yet rhythmically buoyant, and built around the simple idea that a great song should be able to stand on its own.

As The Songs of Butler & Cupples continue to develop their catalogue, their refusal to operate within fixed creative boundaries is becoming less a stylistic choice and more a defining strength.

Dead Air Affair returns with “Green Light”, a kinetic, neon-lit alternative track built for the late-night drive.

Driven by a hypnotic bass groove, dry drums, post-punk guitar accents and a pulsing electronic undercurrent, the track captures the simple pleasure of driving at night with nowhere to be.

There’s no escape and no destination — just movement.

About “Green Light”

“Green Light” pushes Dead Air Affair beyond the project's darker, midtempo alternative rock territory, introducing a faster, more physical and neon-driven side to the sound.

This isn't retro synthwave, nor is it a conventional rock single. Instead, the track sits somewhere between post-punk bite, electronic pulse, alternative hooks and late-night driving atmosphere.

Following early independent-radio and playlist support for Dead Air Affair, “Green Light” offers another glimpse into the project's evolving sound and the wider sonic palette of the album.

Dead Air Affair is an independent nocturnal alternative project built around strong hooks, dry grooves, restless melodic bass, characterful guitars, restrained electronics and controlled emotional tension.

The project uses AI-assisted production as a creative tool, while keeping the focus firmly on the music — songwriting, atmosphere, vocals, arrangement and a cohesive album identity.
