Loving the Kristin Kontrol track! Is any of the Dum Dum Girls stuff anything like it. I've never paid attention to them.

gauzey electronic pop from new brother and sister duo Follin
this track reminds me of Sky Ferreira
Follin - Memorieshttps://soundcloud.com/follinofficial/memorieshttps://open.spotify.com/track/12Lv5SHoJBHJWjP2119hWt
"Cults frontwoman Madeline Follin and her brother, Richie Follin of Guards (and Willowz) formed a new band recently named Follin. " http://www.undertheradarmag.com/news/listen_follin_memories/
Follinhttps://soundcloud.com/follinofficial
With this project, Madeline and Richie wanted to do something different than they had ever done before. Inspired by distorted synthesizers, drum machines, samples, harmonizers, tape effects and atmospheric sounds, they experimented with new instruments and different vocal styles. Having come to music through the same bloodline, they share a musical voice that made their writing process second nature and continues to shape the way in which they write and record. The songs were recorded at Stockholm Syndrome Sound studios in Bushwick and in their mother’s living room in NYC.

Roniia from Minneapolis, Minnesota
dark mysterious electronic pop ala The Knife with Liz Fraser song to the siren ethereal inspired vocals
Roniia - Runhttps://soundcloud.com/tgnp/roniia-run
spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4gThvGgb9VsDbzupYPRQjR
part of the Roniia - Sisters ephttp://roniia.com/album/sisters-ep
RONiiA (pronounced Row-nee-a) is Nona Marie Invie (Dark Dark Dark), Mark McGee (Father You See Queen, Marijuana Deathsquads) and Fletcher Barnhill (Joint Custody, FUGITIVE). Together they produce a mysterious world full of departure, rejection, and love made from dark beats and scuffed up synths. Electronic music that is stripped of its gloss, as wildly innovative as it is original.

Haven't formed an opinion yet about the Slovenlie track.

This isn't an official shambhala thread entry, just a note to point out that Rangleklods no longer exist because they now go by the name Blondage and have released a rather duddish new song: https://soundcloud.com/i-d-online-1/premiere-blondage-dive

TS: 4 Non Blondes, Blond Ambition, Blondage, Blond:ish, Dumblondes, Three Blonde Mice, or Venetian Blond as worst bandname.

I never learned what a rangleklod is. I always assumed it was some obscure implement for animal husbandry, or perhaps a festival shoe.

I'm really digging this Prince Rama album so far. Sounds totally different to the stuff I heard from them before, which was very very post-AC chillwave.

Perhaps better suited for the Not House Not R&B Shangri-La, but the vocals are wispy enough for an honorary mention here:
