RH-NP-04

Chernikovskaya Hata "Ставлю на Зеро" ДСХХ · out today · standalone

We love this. The synth pop scene in the East is strangely alluring to us.

RH-NP-05

Can you hear the DJ screaming over this in the club? We can. "Everyone on the dance floor…"

RH-NP-06

Taylor Swift "Patient Zero" Republic · from The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, 25 Sep

This is low-key vicious, a quiet assassination from the Queen of Revenge Tracks.

Get your Rabbit Høle prescribed dose of 80s synth nostalgia here.

RH-NP-09

MX LONELY "March 16th" Julia's War · feat. Caitlin Starr · out 19 Aug · from the EP PERFECT HOUSE, out today

We had to listen to this a couple of times. It hooked us but we can't explain why. Go and listen to it yourself to see what we mean.

RH-NP-10

Placebo "HELEN KELLER" SO Recordings · out 28 Sep · standalone

Taped

Placebo are at the top of their game here. Introspective and brooding, we want more of this.

RH-NP-11

Free Throw "The Oldest House" Wax Bodega · from Moments Before The Wind (Deluxe), out today

Goes straight to the emo part of our musical soul. Is it 2005?

RH-NP-12

Avoid this

KALUMA & Bloodlyne "Sexy Bitch"

Hmmm, we have lots of thoughts about this. We are actually going to break one of our cardinal rules and say that this is junk. Offensive and crude in equal measure. Do not listen to this.

Hits from our favourite bands, old and new. An epic week for new music.
