Czech project Sky to Speak consists of Matej Kotoucek, in charge of the music, and Ondrej Synacek, who takes care of the visuals. They create their almost sentimental sound from sampling old and obscure videotapes and artists’ records and visuals. Their new album Film is out on Brno-based posse Chernobyl Kolektiv.

Models Can’t Fuck is from Hungary making shoegazy pop, dreamy melodies, not dissimilar to Broadcast or Stereolab. His three-track EP is out:

The thing with witch house is quite funny in a way – the same people who were waxing lyrical about it a year or two ago now despise is with same rigour. The interestingly named Cowshead Records released a compilation featuring witch house and related songs. Before you write it off as a short-lived fad, maybe have a listen and forget about the funny diacritics, some of the tracks that defy its genre limitations might be worth checking out.
