Monthly podcast: Nueva Forma Listening Pleasures

Listening Pleasures episode 19 has arrived just in time for your mid-autumn adventures. Curated by The Bear and The Sea, this mix promises to be a journey in sound, bouncing all over a beat driven, retro sci-fi landscape. When asked what his inspiration was for this month’s mix, the Bear’s reply was that it was fueled by many sleepless nights of watching ’80s cinema and Star Trek: TNG.

Masmöd - Conscious Automata

Conscious Automata is Masmöd‘s sophomore release with Nueva Forma, an unexpected and yet natural followup to his debut album, Axiom.

Where Axiom left listeners in a state of seemingly cold and urban decay, Conscious Automata transports listeners to a warmer, more melodic sonic narrative; a place of rediscovery, forgiveness, and new-found courage.

Earlier this year, The Bear & The Sea threw us a little teaser from his upcoming split EP with A Gap Between. One of the tracks in particular (Wistful Algae Break) really stood out to us, and we thought it would work really well as a quick promo spot. So under our design studio, Colorcubic, we produced this promotional video spot for the Bear. Also, while we were at it, we decided to improve upon our Nueva Forma ident title spot.

Hope you enjoy!

MIDNIGHT CASSETTE ALBUM ARTWORK

Orange Horizon, the latest track from A Gap Between, reminisces on that summer romance we’ve all experienced at least once in our lives. That fleeting moment of love during the magic hour of a perfect summer day, when all our inhibitions disappear with the fading sun and the evening bleeds into the night.

If you like what you hear, then be sure to grab your copy from the latest Hearing Gold compilation, Midnight Cassette.

Arriving with Episode 18 of Listening Pleasures, Miori presents us with an eclectic but refreshingly uncomplicated mix of his recent synth pop and downtempo inspirations. Blending obscure talent and close colleagues with seasoned and established artists, this mix glides high above the noise and the clatter, providing you with the perfect autumnal transition into the winter months. Woody opens up during a hypnotic trance, Dandelion Council floats your speakers, and the Little Dragon Remix is sexy as hell.

The Bear & The Sea - Everything is Everything

Several months ago, Damon Sheeley of The Bear and the Sea started his remix of Common’s ‘I Used to Love H.E.R.‘ with the intention of slowly accumulating and releasing a handful of selected remixes as a free release; sort of a tribute to hip hop through his hazy musical filter. So here it is, Everything is Everything, after several months of late nights and drowsy sessions. Enjoy the free download!
