[Playlist] Cold Sounds to Devour During Quarantine
Well Ninjas… here we are in the first week of April, sequestered indoors with ample time to expand our sonic palates, and introduce new artists. And while I wish this writer’s return to TMN was under more optimistic circumstances, here we are nonetheless. Thus, to help pass the time and hopefully share some newer artists with our readers during our ‘stay-at-home’ mandate, it’s time to share a genre(s), which have helped incite a musical reawakening worth writing about.
Categorized over time as Darkwave as early as the late 70’s/early 80’s with artists like Iron Curtain, Lives of Angels, and even Gary Numan & Depeche Mode, to the contemporary genre tags of Coldwave, Goth-Pop & Gravewave; the concept -with roots emerging out of post-punk and New-Wave- of pairing simple pop arrangements with minor keys, lo-fi percussion kits, and heaps of reverb has managed to permeate throughout the landscape of alternative music for nearly five decades now.
’Black Marble – Daily Driver’
’The KVB – Always Then’
’Provoker – Dark Angel’
’Sextile – Disco’
’Ritual Howls – Scatter the Scars’

[Pop-Rock] D3LTA – Signals
D3lta charges back with a fierce new single, “Signals.” This song dives deep into the ache of unreciprocated love, blending sharp electronic rhythms, gritty guitar tones, and vintage synth sounds. The theme may be familiar, but D3lta’s vocals and impassioned delivery make it hit home. Produced by Ian Davenport and mixed by Barny Barnicott, the track radiates an intensity that grips from start to finish.
D3lta’s path has taken him from the vibrant streets of Greece to the bustling music scene in London. Over the past few years, he’s carved out his own niche, sharing the stage with notable acts while refining a sound that merges pop and rock in unexpected ways. Moving to London in 2023 marked a pivotal moment in his career, and his performances, including those on tour with Scouting for Girls, have captured British audiences with their raw emotion and energy.
In Greece, D3lta’s already well-established, dominating radio waves and performing on major stages. His debut EP, Into The Rabbit Hole, garnered widespread attention, with streams climbing into the hundreds of thousands and support rolling in from major UK outlets like BBC Radio. With “Signals,” paving the way for his upcoming album and an exciting performance scheduled at Beyond The Music Festival, D3lta’s presence in the industry is set to intensify as he steps into a new chapter of his career.
[Indie] David Frank – Nobody’s Hero
After some incredible dance collaborations, David Frank is back on his own grind with the emotionally-charged single “Nobody’s Hero.” The indie-inspired gem is another inspirational anthem from one of the finest talents out of Malibu.
Having relocated to LA David Frank has been crushing it for years with his band Little Dume, as well as his songwriting career and solo project that continues to flourish with his latest original. “Nobody’s Hero” is a chill, yet powerful display of David’s knack for deep sentiments and catchy lyrics. This is one of our favorites from David who will be closing out the year with numerous more releases. So stay tuned while you enjoy “Nobody’s Hero.”
[Indie Rock] Little Dume – Ocean
Little Dume keep rocking as they take another step towards their upcoming debut album. Their third single “Ocean” follows up from “Angel In My City” and showcases the bands incredibly catchy vibe. There’s a ton of beach-centric jams, but this sticks out as one of our favorites in a long time.
As a band from Southern California, these creatives have surely had their fair share of time getting inspired by the Pacific and drives down the 1. It’s a memorably cinematic original song led by David Frank’s emotionally impactful performance. Little Dume have continued to impress as they make their way to one of our most anticipated projects of 2023.
[Rock] Little Dume Drop 2nd LP Single + Shwayze Collab
Little Dume continue to march towards their debut LP with the release of their second LP single “Angel In My City.” This song follows up from their energetic hit “Lose My Head” that dropped back in July. With the new song the Malibu band shift sonic gears for a more chill and emotional piece of music.
“Angel In My City” wasn’t the only new release the band has as they were featured on Shwayze’s album for the incredibly catchy song “Someday” that will for sure find its way in our end of the year favorites. Both songs are completely different in style, yet showcase Little Dume’s impeccable versatility as a band. If you don’t have your eyes and ears on Little Dume already, you better soon or you’ll be left behind when they blow the f#&% up!
[Rock/Alternative] Little Dume – Lose My Head
In the age of singles, it’s always nice when a song is leading somewhere. With Little Dume‘s latest “Lose My Head” we not only get a killer tune, but this marks the march towards their debut album that is due out in 2023. This means – much more music is on its way in the coming months, but let’s keep the focus on “Lose My Head” for now!
The Malibu band’s fresh original is an exciting upbeat jam whose infectious energy takes hold of you right from the get-go. The instrumentation is just magical and lead singer David Frank‘s performance is electric. Little Dume keeps a nice groove and energy throughout the whole song, but manage to offer up a dynamic ride that ebbs and flows beautifully from start to finish. Definitely a worthwhile add to your Summer playlists!
