V/A – Craufurd Arms: MMXX Vol. 1.
2020 was rough for everyone. Pandemic and constant quarantine spoiled or permanently harmed public spaces, venues, practice rooms and forced many of them to close their doors. These actions caused many artists, and bands to call it quits and seek happiness in other professions. 2021 doesn’t look any brighter, and staff that works in the…

Fremmand – Wrong LP (Tutl Records)
Right off the bat, I want to be honest and admit that this is my first encounter with Fremmand, and I must say this was more than a pleasant surprise. This Faroe Islands quintet comes from the city of Tórshavn, and their music encompasses genres such as indie rock and post-punk. Since their inception, the…

Doors In The Labyrinth – In The Shadow Of The Monolith
It’s been a while since we covered some goth or darkwave music on our pages. Today, I would like to introduce to you the Doors In The Labyrinth, a post-goth/darkwave project by Josh Loughrey. Besides Doors In The Labyrinth, Josh also composes film scores and worked on groups/projects such as Pancreatic Aarvarks, Ghost Estates, Narse,…

Rite – Youth CS (Home Mort Records)
Youth is a debut cassette EP by Rite, an Italian post-punk outlet shrouded behind nearly minimalistic aesthetics. While I strived so hard to obtain any available information about the artist, I stumbled upon almost nothing on the web. Perhaps the artist tends to remain anonymous as much as possible and lets the music speak for…

Night Slaves – I CS (Swimming Faith Records)
We covered a couple of Night Slaves records a while ago. Therefore, you might be familiar with this industrial/synth-pop duo based in Buffalo, New York. Whoever touched the base of their sound, acknowledges these creative individuals are profoundly into goth aesthetics and dark ambient atmosphere. However, dominant synth-pop sequences, industrial noises, and theatric vocals are…

Night Slaves – III LP (Swimming Faith Records)
Previously, I wrote an article about Patient Zero, earlier works by Night Slaves, presented through two compelling industrial compositions. III comes out right after the release of Patient Zero, but it liberates an entirely diverse material full of surprises. John Toohill and David Kane imagined Night Slaves as ultimate sonic weaponry to express themselves in…

DZTN 1980 – Ode To A Dead Earth CS (1859 Records / Different Kitchen Records)
DZTN 1980 remains eco-political like on the previous recordings, with lyrics dealing about exploiting the Earth for profits, corporations poisoning the soil, spoiling the balance in ecosystems after tearing down the entire forests, and so on and on.

DZTN 1980 – War Of Good Intentions (1859 Records / Different Kitchen Records)
If you caught our previous review about a debut album called Outside The City, you’re fully aware that Dustin has decided to continue as a solo artist after the departure of Abolitionist, a political punk rock band based in Corvallis, Oregon. After ten years of constant rehearsing, recording, publishing and touring, the band members decided…

Spectres – Nostalgia LP (Artoffact Records)
Spectres are a deathrock band from Vancouver, British Columbia that’s been formed in 2004 by lead vocalist and founder Brian Gustavson. The band has been pretty much active since its formation. They’ve recorded dozen of quality singles such as Cold War 7”, Visions Of A New World 7” and a split record with Arctic Flowers.…

Lot Lizard – Lot Lizard CD (Different Folk Records / Total Drag Records)
It’s been a while since we included some post-punk music on our pages, so now is an appropriate time to write a couple of words about Lot Lizard. This Sioux Falls post-punk band has a brand new full-length album, published in December last year through a couple of independent labels. This exceptional group of very…

Siamese Twins – Listless / Second Skin EP
Siamese Twins are dream-pop quintet originating from Boston, Massachusets and Listless / Second Skin is their latest extended play that is, as far as I know, published on the cassette by the band itself. Perhaps their name has been obtained from The Cure’s remarkable number that has been published back in 1983, but Siamese Twins…
