American Northwest band Bright White Lightning experiments with fusing the unique sounds of chip, electronic, and synth music of forgotten technologies with a more traditional indie-pop band. The result is a 3-piece group with a guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer, coupled with an almost artificial intelligence backing of a Nintendo Game Boy, Commodore Amiga, Atari XL, and several synths. Bright White Lightning combines the two competing genres of electronic music and indie-rock, creating a complex, gritty sound that’s hard not to move to. The trio has plans to add expand their sound and master the craft that they are creating, while diving into tailoring the visuals and aesthetic of what is to become a new genre: Chiprock.

BRIGHT WHITE LIGHTNING is:
Scott Howell – vocals, guitar, computers + programming
Alexander Marne Noelke – bass, keyboards
Empire Albrecht – drums, guitar

Psilodump is a well-known face in the chiptune and micromusic scene since the late 90s and has previously released several remixes here on Data Airlines but DROP is his first EP release with us. Containing four tracks composed between 2002 and 2012, Artwork by Julian van Aalderen / The C-Men.
Mastered by Paul McCosh at VivaSound. Avalible on Itunes, Bandcamp and Spotify.

Overlander is the second part of Dubmoods Badlands triology and they (as Dubmood is now a group) continue to explore and broaden their earlier chiptune pop and electro house influences and blends the chipmusic with acoustic drums, vocals and guitars. The EP contains a lot of straight references to Dubmoods influences and the genre-nerds will have plenty of synthpop, indierock, electronica and dance punk to go. Except bandmembers GEM TOS (Vocals, Guitar and CASiO DG20), Elliot Berlin (Drums, Bass, Synths) and Dubmood himself,  featurings include old-timer Zabutom (Guitars on Track 1, Chords on Track 3) and metal-singer Candice from ETHS (Vocals Track 3). Just like with Badlands, there will be an exclusive Bandcamp release with a bonus remix from MisfitChris, followed by a internetwide digital release and then a 5.25″ edition with 4 bonustracks. New copies of the Badlands 5.25″ release will also be made avalible for those who missed the first very limited edition release.

We really hope you will like this release and help us spread it.
Stream it on Spotify &  Deezer or get it on Bandcamp & Itunes.
