Remember Falling returns with another song from the upcoming Dawn Into Dusk. Starting off with a brief voice exchange between BearSlayer and Cerridwen, we’re thrust into a midtempo electro piece full of shining synths with a positive vibe, yet RF’s vocals and lyrics ponder whether Hollow and Infinity are safe in their new land, and if they’re seen as outsiders and strangers. The vocal duet in the chorus works so well with RF’s typical style of electronic.

Vylet Pony – Queen of Misfits (feat. Cabi and Namii) (RottenTotten Remix) | Synthpop
Remember when I said Last Tempest would become the new Discord? Well, Queen of Misfits might have taken that title. RottenTotten’s remix changes the vocal rhythm up a little while retaining the original’s 80s influence with the synths and drums. The drum samples and added piano chords give the song a more natural edge, as if it was recorded in a studio. Just a little change can add so much!
Vylet Pony – Queen of Misfits (ft. Cabi and Namii) (Zizkil Remix) | Electropop
The Queen of Misfits remixes are crawling out through the woodworks. Retaining the original vocals and some 80s synths, Zizkil’s remix showcases an electropop style, with sprinklings of other musical elements, such as a choir, punchy 80s style bass sounds and even a reggae beat at one point. The sound design is pristine and clear as glass, and serves as a supplement to the already great original.
Vylet Pony – Queen of Misfits (feat. Cabi and Namii) (Foozogz Remix) | Electropop
Foozogz is a gem. Without listening to the original song with the exception of the vocals, they’ve remixed Vylet’s Queen of Misfits in their own signature style, giving it a faster tempo as well as a synth sound that resembles a distorted guitar, giving it a rockier edge. Everyone’s voices fit perfectly well even with the style change, which shows how versatile they are! Above everything, this remix also has Vylet’s seal of approval!
Vylet Pony – Queen of Misfits (feat. Cabi and Namii) (Remember Falling Remix) | Alternate Electronic
A long one, this track. Remember Falling has released an 8 minute long remix of Vylet Pony‘s Queen of Misfits, and it’s honestly super beautiful. The track is absolutely dripping of reverb and full of astonishing instrumentation and synth work, trading the 80s-inspired sound of the original for a more modern sounding electronic style. The vocalist’s voices are still present here, and are sprinkled with different effects at certain points, like a vocoder or bitcrusher. The most emotional part has to be when Vylet and Namii sing together accompanied by just a piano before the electro synths jump back in. Hats off to Remember Falling for crafting such an amazing remix!
Vylet Pony – Magic B**ch (feat. Silva Hound, Chi-Chi & Namii) | R&B / Hip-Hop
Maressey – The Twiluna Album | Album | Jangle Pop
After a long 3 year wait, Maressey have delivered their fourth and final album, The Twiluna Album! As we’ve come to expect, Maressey is a tribute act that focuses on ponified versions of songs performed by The Smiths, a British indie pop/rock band that were around in the 80s. Freewave leads the Maressey project and has brought a large amount of guests on board to help with the music and vocals, such as FritzyBeat, Faux Snyder, Fire Frets and Sylverlining. Snyder’s vocal talents in particular are to be noted, and can be heard across songs such as Bigmouth Strikes Again, Luna in a Coma and Well I Wonder; her higher voice makes for a nice contrast in place of Morrissey’s deeper baritone range. Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want showcases Zatslol‘s vocal work, which is also noteworthy for featuring a striking resemblance to Morrissey’s own voice. Standout tracks include Some Mares…, Luna in a Coma and Back to the Old House, which stand as very faithful renditions to their original tracks.
New Reverian – Journies | Electropop
In yet another case of a musician returning to the fandom after a few moments of silence, New Reverian’s back with his first new track in just about a year, as well as his first track under the New Reverian pseudonym since late 2018. Journies is an optimistic ambient pop piece with lovely atmospheric synths along with pony vocal chops soaked in reverb. The beautiful mood never lets up throughout the remainder of the track, and makes for a cozy listening experience!
Vylet Pony – Sorceress | Indie Pop
You’d better believe that Vylet’s got tricks up her sleeve. Track 10 from Queen of Misfits is some pop goodness about Equestria’s most misunderstood magician, Trixie. Starting off with some vocal chops from Tricks Up My Sleeve, we’re led into Vylet’s smooth voice in front of a punchy drum pattern and a realistic sounding bassline. Vylet sings with conviction through the chorus with lyrics about how great and powerful her self-appointed sorcery is. Can’t get much better than this!
Vylet Pony – No Matter What (2019) | Indie Pop / Alternate Electronic
A yearly tradition now, this new re-imagining of Vylet’s No Matter What stars brand new amazing vocals as well as an instrumental more polished than ever, for the reiteration of the song along added meanings!
