This year, the long-running German electro project Lights of Euphoria joined the ranks of bands releasing a new song every month, a streaming-era trend most notably pulled off by Aesthetic Perfection in 2021. It’s a trick that’s also paying off for Lights of Euphoria—their monthly singles are among my favorite tracks this year.
Since May, the band has unveiled a new song on the first day of each month. The songs have been euphoric dance tracks with catchy-as-hell choruses. I included June edition “Man and Machine” on my list of the best synthpop songs of the year (so far) for its driving beat and a lovely, memorable chorus I simply can’t get out of my head: “Beautiful pain, beautiful lies. I’m just a simple man in disguise.”
As if releasing a new song each month wasn’t enough work, they’ve also been producing high-quality music videos to accompany them. You can find links to each video in the complete list of music below.
