Belgian duo Mortalcombat share their debut EP “Vacances en France” a couple of weeks ago. The VHS-inspired video for the title-track is a reminder of their nostalgic mood.

France is a summer destination for every person that lives in Belgium, and the group recalls with great melancholia what it was like on those days, when everything seemed simpler. The video was directed by Yoann Stehr and César Laloux, one half of the duo. It follows their previously released single “Beau et Décadent“, the first taste of their debut EP. Mortalcombat will be playing a date at Nuits Botanique on April 29.

Mortalcombat share video for sweet retro pop debut “Beau et Décadent”

Our friend Deer Du Bois told us a few weeks ago about the existence of Belgian duet Mortalcombat who share their debut “Beau et Décadent”. The duo have now unveiled a sweet video influenced by modern dating.

Inspired by 80s French music and synth electro bands like Metronomy or Air, the duo writes about love with a sense of humor. There is some sweetness yet tragedy into falling for someone. Formed by Sarah Riguelle and César Laloux, they will be releasing their debut EP “Vacances en France” on February of next year via young label dear.deer.records.

We blend together the great new music from Robokid & Phem, on their punching-strong pop anthem “Judge Me”, and be prepared to get a reply in return.

Is It a ballad, is it an elegy: Sleigh Bells return with this profoundly haunting and chilling new track “And Saints”, teasing their upcoming new album!

Some songs we love to hear over and over again, transformed and covered even. That’s why we hail Tyson Kraft and his take on Haddaway‘s killer hit “What Is Love”! With Emily Frost, we channel the 80s synths on her boosting alt-pop track “Plastic”.
