Ramona Gonzalez, aka Nite Jewel, is back with her critically acclaimed avant-electronic pop album No Sun.



The new album came out of Gonzalez trying to answer what it meant to a woman in mourning… and the album is described as “electronic dance music for an era of death, mourning, but also a fervent celebration of life.”



We’ve been writing about her since Mar 2012, writing, “Nite Jewel’s album One Second of Love came out earlier this month. The lead single and video for “One Second of Love” looks like a scene from some 70s Satan movie. The video is creepy and scary, and had a bit of humor (if you stay until the end for the censored flash).”

6/14 Lisbon, PT – Galleria ZDB
6/15 Braga, PT – Gnration

Perth’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets recently announced their fifth studio album Night Gnomes via Marathon Artists / What Reality? Records.



The new album was written in Western Australia during yet another year of lockdowns. Songwriter Jack McEwan compares the band to the transformation of Radiohead, adding: “Night Gnomes is a bit darker than the other four releases. I don’t know if that’s the bi-product of being locked inside Western Australia for the past two years but it’s definitely given us a lot of time to think. I reckon this record has a bit more of a KID A/Amnesiac vibe to it, it’s a bit weirder, a little left of the ‘psych/pop’ world we’ve been tagged under. I kinda like that though, forever expanding, variety is the spice of life! It starts moody, talks of break ups and new relationships; gets kinda chirpy in the middle and then ends really beautifully, a bit like Jurassic Park 3…”


We saw the Australian band in Sep 2019 and wrote, “Perth, Australia’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets closed out the show. If you’re a fan of Tame Impala and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard , you’ll really like PPC. The band playfully started their set with the unique guitar riffs from Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water”, before kicking into “Surf’s Up”.”



Of course, there will be a tour to promote Night Gnomes in 2022. See you guys in Rocktober!
