Dame Area is the industrial synth-punk duo of Silvia Konstance and Viktor Lux Crux. Based in Barcelona, and hailing from both Catalan and Italian roots, the duo stumble into an anarchic industrial wasteland. Toda la Verdad Sobre Dame areaa departure from its more melodic predecessor that nonetheless promises a nightmarishly good time. “One of our biggest influences is doing what our influences”—like Suicide and Big Black—”wouldn't do,” the musicians said in press material. “Some songs on the album are based on flamenco rhythms, others influenced by 60s experimental pop, heavy metal or contemporary electronic music.”

Nídia & Valentina: Estrada [Latency]
Estrada unites Principle Nídia with chameleon multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti, whose previous collaborators range from Sampha to Nicolas Jaar and Jandek. Produced by Tom Halstead of apocalyptic post-dubstep outfits Raime and Moin, the new album is both somber and tropical, combining drums, marimba and diffuse synth melody into a hothouse of smothered dance energy.

Mermaid Chunky: Slif Slaf Slof [DFA]
Mermaid Chunky spent years orbiting England's underground jazz and experimental scenes before settling on DFA registrationsafter LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy heard their song “Friends” playing outside a Brooklyn coffee shop. Formed between Gloucestershire and London, the duo present a suite of synth-pop odysseys, woodwind reveries and ritualistic folk jigs that sit midway between a laid-back dancefloor and Stone Henge.
