Music by Bergman: Cults

Cults Return With Dreamy Single ‘Crybaby.’ The band’s catalogue stretches back almost 15 years, melting together dream pop with dulcet electronics. Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion reunite on new single ‘Crybaby’, a step into the unknown from the New York duo. Evocative songwriting, it recalls everyone from Mazzy Star to the Twin Peaks soundtrack in its yearning for the aethereal.

Music by Bergman: HONESTY

HONESTY’s origins are an exercise in patience and divine timing. Coming together as a therapeutic endeavour born from the ashes of various musical projects and a pandemic lockdown, Josh Lewis and fellow progenitor Matt Peel found themselves with a clean slate and a desire to enjoy creating in its simplest form, experimenting with synthesisers and traditional instruments to concoct an expansive electronic soundscape.

They’ve just released the mixtape BOX via Partisan Records. Unbound from time constraints and overarching album thematics, BOX sees HONESTY delve into their extensive archives to piece together a left-field tapestry with a patchwork mentality. An undulating blend that segues between dance, house and trip hop.

Music by Bergman: Meltt

Meltt is a four-piece band that’s racked up millions of streams online, so it’s safe to say many in the psychedelic scene may have heard of them. They have an indie neo-psychedelic sound that’ll appeal to many, especially fans of bands like Melody’s Echo Chamber and Slow Pulp.

Eternal Embers is their second full-length album and the first since 2019’s Swim Slowly.

Music by Bergman: A Place To Bury Strangers

Brooklyn NY, post punk/psych band A Place To Bury Strangers have dropped their new single “Chasing Colors“ the third single in the ongoing collection of four 7” records titled The Sevens.  Demonstrating their signature raw sound, the band ventures into a more melodic direction while maintaining their unconventional edge.

Music by Bergman: De-Phazz

De-Phazz is a downtempo jazz ensemble integrating modern turntablism and elements of soul, Latin, trip hop and drum and bass into a lounge music sound. De-Phazz is led by Pit Baumgartner, a German producer who has varied the lineup of artists for every new album. They’ve just released their last album: Pit Sounds.

Music by Bergman: Travis

Scottish band Travis are set to captivate fans once again after announcing their tenth studio album, L.A. Times, slated for release on 12th July 2024 under BMG. They’ve also dropped a new single, ‘Gaslight,’ marking their return to the music scene since 2020.

L.A. Times arrives 25 years after the band’s breakthrough with the #1 album The Man Who, which achieved 9x Platinum certification in the UK.
