A Scary Thing by Lonbobby
If you don't like robot-voice auto tune then Lonbobby is A Scary Thing. Otherwise he's one of the best electronic musicians on Song Fight, winning a crowded fight quite handily with today's song.

Sleepwalking by The Worldly Self Assurance
Song Fighting super band The Worldly Self Assurance put together something interesting. They have some awkward lyrics and amateur singing, but they put together such interesting arrangements that their flaws don't really matter much. Sleepwalking is an ethereal mix of strings and droning guitar.

Kick Start by Frankie Big Face
If you don't like the word 'baby' in song lyrics you should avoid Kick Start. If you can get past that, it's got a delightfully dark synth-pop sound to enjoy.

Goblin Road Trip by Ninja 9000
Ugress has a side project aimed at 8 bit C64 music called Ninja 9000. Goblin Road Trip may not be entirely composed on an 8 bit synthesizer, but it has the sound and spirit of those glory days of videogames.

Alleluia by Odawas
Alleluia is the sound of a slow dramatic walk into some vast frontier, where one faces one's destiny, pensive and alone.

Soft Orange Glow by Eddiebangs

New York by ADD
New York is a dark song with a synthpop feel. It's unrefined performance and production make it feel like a relic from 25 years ago, cast out to the world and forgotten.

Georgia's Hand by Eight Legged Oedipus
Eight Legged Oedipus writes my favorite love songs ever, with topics like lovesick ninja's and leper couples. And he's great at being creepy. Georgia's Hand sings the narrator's admiration for 15 year old Georgia.

Accelerator by State Shirt
Accelerator suddenly slows down and picks up a few times. Along with the lyrics, this makes the song feel epic despite lasting only three and a half minutes. It doesn't have the punch of Anomaly but it's loud, dynamic, and rough.

Blood On The Mountain by Star Pimp
With a name like Star Pimp, you have to expect something trashy. Trashy and interesting. Blood on the Mountain delivers unpolished alt-rock; the singer sounds barely in tune, the song structure and music are simple, and something about it is more charming than it should be.

I Want To Get Better by Puce
