It’s been great to see one of our favourite local electro disco-rock outfits back in action in the last few months, and even more exciting to hear small hints of their new material. This synthy track shows them heading even further down the German-speaking path than ever before. Catch ARC at C for Culture on March  27 at The Peak Galleria.

Based in Phnom Penh, TCSP is a musical collective trading in folk with touches of both psychedelica as well as pop. They’ll be playing several venues around town from March 26-28.

With little twinges of Happy Mondays and The Fall, as well as the insistent bass lines and deliberate Pavement stylings, the sound of Beijing band Snapline has got us very interested.
