None of this works without the music to fuel it, but the Belfast-born\/London-based duo deliver in fine form with \u201d HELIUM\u201d a lush, nearly genre defying amalgamation of synth plucks, a grime vocal sample, breakbeat drums and growling bass written specifically for the pair\u2019s shows at London\u2019s Ally Pally at the end of 2022. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThe show felt a little too sweet in certain sections and we wanted to add some more grit,\u201d they say in a statement. They made \u201c\u2018HELIUM\u201d to serve as something \u201ca bit darker and more club-focused than most of our music we have released over the past few years. Although it\u2019s actually a pretty fair representation of what we\u2019re listening to and playing in our DJ sets\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLaunching on the tail of a sold out 15,000 person show at London\u2019s Drumsheds last December, CHROMA is mean to encompass all varieties of Bicep music, with the pair adding that \u201cWe do a lot of more heavy techno focused music, ambient and various other styles that don\u2019t really fit into the \u2018Bicep\u2019 sound, and which often never sees the light of day.\u201d CHROMA, it seems, will shine that light. Bicep will play Coachella in April and tour Europe throughout the summer. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Pet Shop Boys, \u201cLoneliness\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dUVfoybVqIg?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPet Shops Boys, who celebrate the 40-year anniversary of their classic \u201cWest End Girls\u201d this year, demonstrate their ongoing creative verve with their latest, \u201cLoneliness.\u201d A song that plays like the antidote to its titular sad state, the production has a peppy brightness throughout, scaling down to an elastic bassline for the choruses and building back up to a more parade-type atmosphere for the chorus. The song marks Pet Shop Boys\u2019 return to Parlophone Records and comes from their forthcoming album <em>Nonetheless<\/em>, out April 26. The pair\u2019s concert film, <em>Pet Shop Boys Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen<\/em>, also plays in theaters around the world today and February 4.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe wanted this album to be a celebration of the unique and diverse emotions that make us human,\u201d the pair (Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe) says of the new LP. \u201cFrom the more dance-orientated tracks to the raw poignancy of the introspective ballads, with their beautiful string arrangements, each track tells a story and contributes to the overall narrative of the album.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Wavedash &amp; Madeon Feat.

I don\u2019t believe anyone else on earth could have made this song; without our flip of the original sample, or Madeon\u2019s master-level pop writing, or Chaz\u2019s ability to churn out ear worms with ease, this song couldn\u2019t have been possible. It\u2019s been the most fun we\u2019ve ever had making a piece of music, so we hope you\u2019ll enjoy listening to it half as much as we enjoyed making it, because we had a ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>The Blessed Madonna &amp; Clementine Douglas, \u201cHappier\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aaNECL-Xass?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tReminding us once more that she has one of the most special, essential voices in dance music, Clementine Douglas absolutely blazes through \u201cHappier,\u201d a collab with The Blessed Madonna that created a breakout moment during The Blessed Madonna\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WHgbZmVvqKI\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WHgbZmVvqKI\" target=\"_blank\">Boiler Room set<\/a> last year in Bali. Out via Major Recordings, the track evokes the \u201990s club production trend of the moment while still sounding fresh, with gently rising synths and a cool vocal chop climax indeed likely to leave you feeling happier than you were when the song started. The Blessed Madonna plays Coachella in April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Orbital, \u201cTonight In Belfast\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0yk9qUle01Q?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOrbital\u2019s 1991 classic \u201cBelfast\u201d gets reimagined here, with DJ Helen blending David Holmes\u2019 \u201cBelfast\u201d remix with Manchester street poet Mike Garry\u2019s \u201cTonight.\u201d These many parts build a track that\u2019s spatial, joyful and often delightfully strange.
