PRE-ORDER: Sweet Love Under Tyranny - Self Titled [LP], Sweet Love Under Tyranny, Vinyl

LA producer/vocalist Sweet Love Under Tyranny arrives with her self-titled EP (à La Carte Records, 11/6) - four tracks, nineteen minutes of nocturnal dance music built on coldwave and Italo pulled through new romantic melodrama. Co-produced with Matia Simovich (Inhalt) at Infinite Power Studios, mastered by Josh Bonati. The reference points span the pop confidence of Stacey Q and early Madonna, the airtight vocal architecture of Yazoo, and the coldwave romance running through the artist's own history as co-writer on Kontravoid's "Maskerade" (-200k Spotify streams since 2021's "Faceless" LP). Her voice cuts from aching falsetto to guttural growl over synth lines placed with the precision of someone thinking hard about where a chorus should sit in a mix. Post-punk. Com: "a nocturne of neon-kissed bliss, a siren's serenade whispered through the haze of LA's twilight pulse. " Pressed as a limited single-sided 12" in two variants (black-in-clear; clear).
