DEHNOE — SYNCHRONICITY

Bringing in 2025 a couple of days early is DEHNOE’s sophomore album SYNCHRONICITY, out now on Lunch Records.

The energy is really high throughout this record, peaking at points like ‘FADED’ and ‘2002 SUBARU’ and taking moments of pause through ‘WON’T TURN BACK’ and ‘CLEAR STATIC,’ultimately resolving with ‘G,’ a beautifully open and detailed groove. ‘Honest’ and ‘flowing’ are words that come to mind as I listen.

DEHNOE + L0k — KEYS TO THE MAZDA

Kicking off a busy period for Lunch Records is the first single from the L0k + DEHNOE collab. TB-6000, ‘Keys to the Mazda.’

This tune finishes in a completely different place than where it starts, but somehow holds together in a very organic way. The free-wheeling, flowing, and spontaneous vocals again highlight the intuitive approach to production and writing. Any moment could go anywhere, as long as it sounds good.

Nika Mo — Panicle

‘Panicle’ is the new single from Nika Mo. A meandering pair of warm acoustic guitars sets the scene, creating a bed for beautiful multitracked harmonies, with lyrics that feel like the inner musings of someone strolling beneath shedding jacarandas. The accompanying video features said jacarandas in the suburbs of Boorloo.

This one drops into the RTRFM Sound Selection for the week of November 25th, 2024.
