Helsinki duo Modem's latest single is a rough-hewn, sticky banger that sounds like it could have been licensed to Celluloid in 1980, but in Finnish. #synthpop

Glasgow artist Propter Hoc, whose cold, well-constructed songs are informed by distinct literary, philosophical, and cinematic sources, has a new EP that highlights his steady growth. SPNS pick: "The Green Ray" #synthpop #darkwave #coldwave

The Peech Boys, bound to DJ Larry Levan and Paradise Garage, where he offered an electic mix of disco, new wave, house, reggae and funk, to a sprung floor via an uncompromising sound system, establishing a standard that club promoters still aspire to. #garagehouse #keithharing

Bárbara Eugênia is back with another synthy single, joined by familiar collaborator Rafael Castro. The electro-tropicália vibe of "Pare," punctuated by "Rockit"-esque riffs and retro sax licks, is set in Eugênia's impeccable intonation and knack for unaffected melody. #synthpop #brazillianmusic

47 years ago today Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! is the debut studio album by the American new wave /postpunk band Devo, produced by Brian Eno and released on this day in 1978 #punkrock #newwave #devo #history #newwavehistory #punkrockhistory #otd

Multiple versions of "Tu veux ou to veux pas" have appeared in France since that late '60s, all of them covers of the 1967 hit by Brazilian soul legend Wilson Simonal, "Nem vem que não tem." Liberties were taken. The '85 synth-pop version is all we know of this Mooglie. #synthpop #sambasoul #yéyé

With Dlina Volny's 4th album, the Minsk-born trio's grey synth textures and melodic malaise chooses grooves over hooks. In Between has a unified mood that confronts cultural nilhlsim from within. SPNS pick: "Dance Me Away." #synthpop #darkwave #postpunk

The Limit was Paul Edgley, who was also the in-house graphic designer for UK indie Survival Records, source of some quality minimal syth work in the early '80s, including the bass forward "Take It," released in 1981, the first of two Edgley singles.

LA's #NuovoTestamento explore freestyle tones with their new EP, Trouble, adding a fresh '80s dimension to their sound, building upon masterful italo disco and post-goth adventures. SPNS pick: Dream On

Dalek, I Love You seems underappreciated, despite quality records, and contributions to OMD and Teardrop Explodes. #synthpop #postpunk

Nashville-based She Comes In Colors is Lenny Bryan, collaborating with a variety of solo woman vocalists, to create cosmopolitan pop built upon early analogue synth sounds and industrial-inspired rhythm. SPNS pick: "Our Place" #shecomesincolors #synthpop #dreampop #electropop

Synpop Nonstop is heard on public radio stations coast-to-coast. If you can offer financial support of public media, please take that opportunity. And remember this day, when the GOP stripped funding for public media, in defiance of the public Broadcasting Act of 1967, with your midterm votes.

The debut from LA duo Gelli Haha is a playground of oversaturated beats and manic pop melody that feels loose and authentic for all its careful construction. SPNS pick: "Bounce House" #gellihaga #synthpop #electropop

Munich-based duo Yakima Jera draw from 18th century Sufi poetry with their latest single, a haunted and raw slice of post-post-punk. #yakimajera #synthpop #postpunk #darkwave

The cold beats and impowered glower of New Oreans singer/songwriter/producer Delores Galore's latest single highlight a gothy dimension of her growing catalogue, built upon a commanding foundation of funk, disco, and synth-pop. #deloresgalore #synthpop #coldwave

Daddy Squad is Andrew Armstrong, formerly of Monarchy. His latest features an exuberent read of Lama's 1983 Italo disco classic "Love on the Rocks" with French vocalist Corine, in case dancing would do you some good. @daddysquad.bsky.social #italodisco #synthpop

LA duo's Sextile's latest Yes, Please compresses their relentless post-post-punk dance attack into its snarliest state. SPNS pick: "Resist" #Sextile #postpunk #synthpop

Bárbara Eugênia is a highly lauded singer-songerwriter--with seven solo albums--and collaborator, notably with fellow Paulistano Tatá Aeroplano. Her new single is a house-inspired project with @malumariaoficial.bsky.social and Laya. It's sparten, mystic, and quietly hooky. #synthpop #brazillianmusic

The Athens duo of Valisia Odell and Aristomenis Theodoropoulos, formerly Strawberry Pills, now perform under the singer's name, whose distinct visual and vocal style are at the fore of the Greek darkwave scene. It translates. SPNS pick: "R.I.N." #valisiaodell #synthpop #darkwave

Happy #NationalSynthesizerDay !

"Yellow Pearl" was the Top of the Pops theme between 1981 and 1986, a product of the Thin Lizzy leader's seemingly unlikely partnership with Midge Ure, whose influence and impact is on '80s popular music seems woefully underrecognized.
