Our latest roundup of new music presents textured synthwave and an Australian band that War on Drugs fans might fancy
Vogue Dots are a duo – Babette Hayward and Tynan Dunfield, both sound technicians by day – from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and this is their first single on Cascine, a very fine label indeed (it has brought us Jensen Sportag, Keep Shelly in Athens and Chad Valley). They’ve been tipped by Ryan (not Chris) Hemsworth and their textured synthwave is a sort of midpoint between airy dreampop and a heavier goth, as cloudy as it is murky. “It sounds dreamy, but in a drugged-out way, not in a wishing-and-hoping kind of way,” says Hayward, whose voice posits her as Lana Del Rey’s slightly less dead-eyed kid sister.
