2m · PublishedChalk - "Asking" from the 2023 Conditions EP on Dutch Tilt
Belfast-based post-punk trio Chalkreflect on past relationships on today's Song of the Day. As vocalistRoss Cullen explains in a press release,“It’s a reaction to feelings of ours that look at the past and a longing for others who aren’t in your life anymore. How we grow as people and those we leave behind as a result. We wanted 'Asking' to follow the recollection of someone whose memories are fading when trying to remember about someone in the past."
The track appears onConditions, their debut EP which was released last year. Their follow-up EP, titledConditions II, was released earlier this month.

Harare, Zimbabwe-based duoBantu Spaceship celebrates the music of their homeland with their Afro-futuristic self-titled debut album, out now via Nyami Nyami. Vocalist Ulenni Okandlovu incorporates Ndebele chants to the laid-back production work of his partner Joshua Madalitso Chiundiza. As they explain in an interview with 15questions.net, "The both of us were in search of unique alternative Zimbabwean sound, having grown up listening to Mbaqanga, Mbube, Zamrock, Sungura, Jit, and Chimurenga. We wanted to create something that borrowed from these influences, but merging those styles with synth-wave, electro, and hip-hop elements."

2m · PublishedAna Lua Caiano - "Deixem O Morto Morrer" from the 2024 album Vou Ficar Neste Quadrado on Glitterbeat Records
Based out ofLisbon,Ana Lua Caiano combines traditionalPortuguese music with modern electronica on her debut albumVou Ficar Neste Quadrado, out April 5th via Glitterbeat. Anastudied classical music for eight years, and then studied jazz for four years— a pedigree that can be heard in her complex compositions. Today's Song of the Day examines a man's death, and in a Google-translated press statement, she states, "as the song progresses, sadness becomes joy and the tragedy of a death is seen in a more positive perspective. The song, despite having this strong and apparently sad theme, undergoes an inversion and is sung, from a certain point onwards, with enthusiasm, revealing itself to be an energetic, rhythmic and vibrant song.”
