While the Belgian electropop act Psy’Aviah surprised us with the focus on male-vocal songs on their last “Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars” album, they now return with an EP, “Chasing The Speed Of Light”, that puts the spotlights back on female special guest singers.
Guest singers on this EP include Kyoko Baertsoen (ex-Hooverphonic, Lunascape), Fallon Nieves, Lis van den Akker (Misery) and Mari Kattman. Note that Mari Kattman is only featured on the exclusive bonus tracks featured on the extremely limited CD version of this EP (you can get this CD right here).
The 17-track CD EP (10 tracks on the download version available via Bandcamp) includes not only various remixes of “Alone”, “Alcubierre Drive” or “Not What I Expexted” but also some 7 exclusive bonus tracks (the CD is available right here): besides 2 previously unreleased club remixes by trance/dance producer Tim Iron for “Lessons from the Past” and “Last of Us”, you also get a very early Psy’Aviah demo work written back then under the Marion Xue moniker; as well as 4 atmospheric recordings Yves Schelpe made back in 2002 as a soundtrack for a theatrical adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s classic novel “The Portrait Of Dorian Grey”.
Below you can preview a few tracks from the upcoming EP on the download version, but true fans should definitely pick up the CD version available here for the full monty. Highly recommended!
Here are the videos for “Alcubierre Drive” and “Not What I Expected”
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
